A GOOD HOLDOVER
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As many people can’t find the Xbox Series X at its $499 price… you may want to take a look at this especially IF YOU ARE NOT A HARD CORE GAMER and just want a cute little update. The sound and the visuals are very good. The down side will be the very low storage, especially when this is a disc-free. They aren’t plentiful of games as of yet..

Posted .Hey there,
We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S, and thank you for recommending it to others. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015
Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.
We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.
Happy gaming,
Chuck

I would recommend this to a friendTotally worth it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great console! Wanted to upgrade my Xbox one and there was a major difference. Faster load time is a nice feature along with how compact the console is. The only downside is having a small storage.

Series S
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dope works as expected no problem so for after about an month or two of having it
I would recommend this to a friendFun times
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The kids use it daily and have spent many hours playing. Well worth the purchase.
I would recommend this to a friendUpgraded from Xbox One
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a Christmas gift for my son. He loves Microsoft Flight Simulator so we got him a new xbox and the download for the game. I still personally like game systems that play the disc.
I would recommend this to a friendXbox series S
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have purchased this and the PS5. Though you won’t get as good of graphics with the S, GAME PASS clearly has a better line of for its consumers. Combining the Xbox Live and Game Pass features is a total plus. If you want the complete package I would highly recommend the Series X. If graphics isn’t a huge thing for you then the S is still a really good console.
I would recommend this to a friendIt’s great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like how slim it is and the price is great. We mostly buy digital games anyways so we didn’t mind not having the disk drive and saving some money.
I would recommend this to a friendDoes the job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does the job. Hooked up an external drive for xbox and it kept telling me to install faster games directly to the console, so hard drive cant be as bad as people claimed. Left it on for 3 days, no issues.
I would recommend this to a friendPerfect gift
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought for younger brother, loves it. Should have went with more storage space
I would recommend this to a friendGamepass machine
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I sold it and got a Series X, this is great as a Gamepass machine. If you already have a huge physical library this is not for you. I have a large physical library that I like to go back to. I did love the Series S, but it wasn’t for me.
I would recommend this to a friendSeries S 512GB
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a series X and S. Love both of them. Just wish I would have gotten the S with a larger storage
I would recommend this to a friendCompact but powerful
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compact but powerful - it gets warm where we placed ours under the shelf on our computer desk, but that was expected based on the initial feedback from other customers for the Series X
