    I couldn’t possibly be happier with this purchase. I was fortunate enough to find one of these before they sold out again but it was worth keeping up with the stocking. Getting my Xbox was quick and smooth. It’s everything you should expect from a great console and more.

    Just picked it up today. The console is very small but powerful. Super quiet. This new system downloads games super fast and loads way faster then the other. And games look so much better. Hope this helps people. Glad I upgraded to this system.

    Never thought I’d be ok with a disc-less gaming console but it’s perfect! Small size fits perfect in where I put it, easy to use and has great quality.

    Great cheaper option

    This system is best for kids who just want to do things like play fortnite. Parents this is the device you want for your kid if they are younger than 15. The bigger option series X is more for the older generation. This device is cheaper and plays games like fortnite at the same speed and power as the bigger version X. My only concern is sometimes it heats up after a while but it can easily be avoided if you stand the device up and let it breathe.

      Hey there,

      Thanks for recommending Xbox Series S, especially as a starter console for younger players. If you're still experiencing an issue with overheating, we recommend making sure that it's placed in a well-ventilated spot with 2-4 inches of clearance around it and that its vents are unobstructed. We hope you and your family have a lot of fun with your new Xbox.

      Happy gaming,

    I got the series x first and then the series s console. The series s is my spare portable No difference other than storage. The Seagate Ssd card is 219 so for another 80 dollars you get a portable next gen xbox. I will get the seagate since you can use it on both.

    I’m enjoying my Xbox. Being able to go back and play games I never got the chance to play, such as Gears of War. It’s been an enjoyable experience.

    Great product. New to xbox but the load times and graphics are amazing. The game pass is nice as i can download games on my pc now too. The quick switch is also a nice plus. Downside is storage but I think everyone getting this unit is aware of this.
