    More impressive than I ever thought. For such a low price this thing is very powerful. The quick resume feature is mind blowing. Now the 364GB of storage is an issue but it’s enough for 2-3 triple A games at a time

    Absolutely love my Series S. Got this because I couldn't find a Series X, and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely feels next gen compared to my One X. If you know what you are getting when you buy this it will exceed your expectations.

    This Xbox is amazing, it runs so smooth and fast! The video quality is also nothing short of amazing! I love it so much that I’m thinking of getting my wife one as well once it’s available again. I’ve looked everywhere and there’s no luck.

    Bought this for my son. He loves it for his gaming monitor. Didn’t need all the 4K extras but he says it’s super fast and small enough to put on his desk without taking up a whole lot of room. Had to buy the extra memory for it tho.

    as an avid ps5 user, I wanted to be able to also play xbox exclusives and this was the perfect next gen upgrade if you cant find series x. combine it with game pass ultimate and you wont have to spend more on games

    The Xbox S was better then my expectations, I wanted the PS5 but know I won’t get one for a while. The Xbox S is lacking in storage space but makes up for the great graphics and speeds the system works at. Very happy with my purchase

    Overall the load times are super fast once you experience games being loaded on the series s and you go back to the other consoles you'll immediately notice the difference between the too.. Games like cod run smoothly in comparison to older consoles.. Is it a must have upgrade I would say no unless you just want to upgrade to have the latest and greatest quick resume is pretty awesome as well.

    System runs great. Got it for when traveling for work. Have a Series X at home. Definitely not as powerful as that but runs everything I want it to while traveling. Limited storage is a draw back.

    I was so surprise how great the Series S. The fan is so quiet and playing games has never been so easy. The only negative to me was the storage size. I ended up buying an external storage to save my Xbox one games on it. But overall I am very happy with the look of it and with gamepass, I really don’t miss having a disc to put in. I highly recommend.

    This is the Best Console you can Buy right now... Because its the only one in stock. If you can find a series X get that. but it you just want an upgraded performance this is smaller and way better than the xbox one x

    Best valued xbox in the new lineup. All the games work great and it upscaled 4k, which is as good as 4k in my eyes. The only thing of concern is the storage. If you plan to play 10+ games at a time a hard drive is suggested.

    This is the first Xbox I have owned since the original and it's awesome! Game Pass is worth every dollar, the controller is super comfy, and the graphics are spectacular. The best thing was that it was available!
