Good Performance Console
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Haven't had any issues. Wanted to wait nearly months after before leaving a review. It plays my X/S games smoothly. Example, Cyberpunk seems to play smoothly on this, compared to the One X. I recommend this console.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Overall performance

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, the Series S isn't really my thing. The purchase came mainly for my partner and our kids, who see great use out of it. It offers a good price > performance ratio and will likely keep many people happy, though as I'm more of an enthusiast with the hobby, had I been purchasing for myself, I'd have gone with a Series X or a PS5 as I already have a more than capable enough for my needs PC for gaming.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went back and forth about 100 times before deciding to get the Series S. I do not regret this decision. Coming from the Xbox One S to this is a game changing experience. It looks great on my 4K TV.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Console!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have both the PS5 and Xbox but the Series S has a few more features that I believe put it on par with the PS5 depending on what you value more.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth the upgrade. A good compromise from the never available, more expensive series X. Video quality, movement, loading speed, game playing speed and everything is much improved from older Xbox. Worth $299.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While this console has no disk drive, you can download and Xbox game from the Xbox store. Load Times are much faster than the Xbox one. Can connect usb external hdd and transfer games to internal storage to play.
I would recommend this to a friendWorth the money!!

I would recommend this to a friendBest console ive used to date
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The one thing I love the most over this console, is that I don’t have to worry about losing any of my games.
I would recommend this to a friendA beast for $300!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If your not gaming at 4K 120hz then there is no reason to get the X for 200 more dollars. This tiny Xbox got some power and it’s super quite too. This is the one for $300 guys. Only thing I wish is it had a 1TB SSD instead of 512GB.
I would recommend this to a friendLives up to they hype and worth the wait.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely amazing. Stunning picture and unparalleled gaming experience. Some of the games that have been enhanced for s/x are mesmerizing. Diskless gaming is a plus, and reduces clutter and change for games to be damaged or misplaced.

Got it for me son he clearly notices the visual and gameplay difference.. Should come with 2 controllers and more storage for all the money you spend on the system..

Get the "S" if you are on a budget
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The console is a great way to step into the next gen scene with upscaled resolution. Yes "upscaled" because it isn't as crisp and clear as the series "X" but you can't tell unless you hold up a magnifying glass against the pixel screen. CONS: 1) The console heats up laying down and standing, 2) The console randomly freezes or shuts off possibly due to heat 3) Not enough storage space for games 4) Doesn't support good quality stream apps 5) Attaching a camera to the console causes stutter 6) cameras appear low quality and lag quite severely PROS: 1) games are being upgraded to "X"S" 2) games are upscaled 3) you get to enjoy xbox pass which has better games than sony 4) xbox has the best controller on the market

Great upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for a Christmas gift for someone and wow what an upgrade from the old one he had. Amazing graphics
I would recommend this to a friendGreat value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing value. Using the fsp boost to get 60 fps with my current tv. Load times are amazing even on a standard external drive. I wish the external SSD was more affordable but this works for now. Game pass is an excellent value.

I would recommend this to a friendLove it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this console. So annoyed with not being able to get a “next gen” console without overpaying, I tried the Series S. So far, I love it, buying the Game Pass is a must. My only complaint would be the lack of storage.
