I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it it’s easy to operate, the graphics are amazing. I was worried when it didn’t have a disc about her losing memory but it’s so easy to save the games to your library and then switch them around. Awesome game system.

This Xbox is perfect and doesn’t take up too much space it runs so well for its small size and it being digital minimizes the clutter with disks and more it is so convenient having all my games in my library rather than taking up space around the house.

My tech abilities are probably a bit above average (although a long ways from being Geek Squad stuff), but this is still easy to set-up and use even if you have only average tech ability and can use YouTube. It's also actually available and appears to be a good value proposition as long as you know what your getting.

Awesome console for gaming, really enjoy how small it is. I travel quite a bit and its so easy to slip this in my backpack and just go from place to place and always have a powerful console to play on. Great price too, i got this for 220 and dont regret it one bit.

Have had both a Series S and X. The S is a much better Value. Sure the X has 4k and a blue ray player. But that's all it has going for it. I have not played a game that has pushed the X and 2 years later still have not found anything to justify me selling my S for the X. Also the S is so much easier to take with you places along with costing you less on your electric bill. Thing is also super quiet.

Pretty good, compact and silent. I was mostly digital on my playstation 4 pro. Best next gen console, and I say that because it’s accessible unlike the ps5 and xbox series x. It opens your gaming world up to next gen and the best load times i have seen. Can’t complain, and it’s a budget console. I highly recommend this project

The Xbox is hands down the best gaming console to ever hit the market. The graphics of the Xbox are breath taking. You can see fine details and shadows and contrasts like never before on PlayStation products. The system is so FAST also! No long waits for a game to load up. The new controller is fantastic and really feels extremely high quality in the hands.

The truth is this little fellow is a powerhouse. Of course I wanted an XSX but when a XSS came up on Bestbuy I jumped on it because I could and sorta on a whim but found it to have been a great decision. The XSS plays games so beautifully I was almost brought to tears of joy, really. I'm disabled and gaming is one the things that I love and get to do a lot so getting the XSS has been a big quality of life upgrade for me. Games play and look awesome especially older games. No more lagging around with long long load times, 5s fast travel in Fallout 76 when my XBX took mins. Now I have a One X and the XSS now and boy is it a jump up even though not as much visually being both do 4K for some games but it's more of how well it runs. The OneX was a fine machine the XSS out shines it in everything, gameplay and visually(mostly). Great gamepass machine here, buy this for the kids no worries. If games old and new play this well on the XSS I'm definitely picking up the XSX. I may have bought this impulsively but no regrets, my XSS will definitely get me by until a XSX comes around and my wife will get my XSS in all its gloy. I highly recommend buying this beautiful little machine for yourself or any gamer in your life.

it is pretty swag nice graphics and stuff and is small and easy to use

I'm one of those guys playing on a 1080p 144hz PC monitor and am enjoying it as a streaming box to play games from the Xbox game pass (like the Yakuza series) or full AAA titles like NBA 2k21 next gen and they all run great. Loading times are nice and short, as expected of a next gen console fully run on the SSD Everything in the interface is snappy and the quick loading features are amazing, even for someone with a solid gaming PC like myself. I'm impressed with what this little guy can do. The stock controller it comes with has a much better dpad than my old xbox360 special edition controller. I also like their sound dampeners on the trigger buttons. Very nice touch! Make sure you know what you're looking for! If you feel like you will want the extra space because you dislike deleting games. By all means, go straight for the X. This thing has a TINY ssd built in. It's under 400GB usable for your games because of the OS and other things. Also if you already have 4k or are planning to get a 4k TV within the next year or 2, just save yourself the pain and regret by going straight for the Series X. Haven't found a reason to hate on this console yet. So at least early on, I'm giving it a 5/5 @jyoggystory on the socials, Twitch and Youtube if you wanna hang out and watch some Xbox/PC games

The Xbox Series S is a decent gaming system. While it offers good performance and access to a variety of games, its limited storage capacity can be frustrating. The absence of a disc drive may also disappoint some users. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option for casual gamers but has its limitations.

My kids wanted a new model xbox as we only had the Nintendo Switch. Instead of going for the more expensive Xbox X series, I went for the modest S series and saved $200. They love it and of course, you don't really notice the differences between the 2 for casual gaming. ONLY problem I have with it is storage space. This only comes with 512 gigs of memory while the larger X series come with double that. Trust me, if your kids (or you) like Call of Duty, the new one takes up 200gigs plus alone!! Once you get a few more games on there, which are normally 50-100gigs each, your storage is full. Now, they do offer a proprietry external hard drive for it, but its $200+ which means you are better off buying the bigger Xbox X. You can however use ANY external USB hard drive, just be aware it could cause slower loading times. Thats what we ended up doing with an old 1 TB Western Digital drive I had lying around and its been great. Also, make sure you get the 2 years Xbox Game Pass Ultimate if you have a PC. That way you can play all these great games on your PC or in your web browser or tablet/laptop via Microsoft's new cloud gaming service which is included.

Absolutely love the console! Very small and easy setup its super fast! Only downside is storage but other than that its awesome. And since i have a 4k tv my xbox series s also runs in 4k! Also if you're waiting for in store pickup be patient trust me youll get it. I had a delay pickup message on my estimated date and then it was ready the next day. Happy gaming!

Daughter loves it. I have my own series x and wanted her to have something of her own using our family game pass subscription. It’s a nice small size and the graphics are better than I thought for the lesser powered variant of these new Xbox consoles. Scales surprisingly well on a 4K tv, smooth frame rates.

The series s is a extremely well-rounded system and very impressive. Coming from someone that has had all xbox’s and also an owner of the series a as well I can tell you this console packs a very heavy punch in a small unit. Would highly recommend for someone not wanting the extreme performance or wants a great next-gen console on a budget.

Great console for the value, especially if you grab Game Pass Ultimate. In my opinion, if you're a PC gamer, Game Pass Ultimate + Series S is a great combination without having to shell out the full price for the Series X. In no way do I think this is better than the Series X, but it's also $200 cheaper and a great entry-way into next-gen gaming.

I am an avid gamer, I started playing videogames in the late 70s when my parents bought me an Atari 2600. I have had the pleasure of owning all of the major consoles since then and I have been a fan of XBOX since 2001. I also play playstaion and I own a PS5. I was a huge fan of the 360 and barely touched my PS3 that generation. Then the PS4 and the XBOX one came out and Playstation dominated them from the very start till the bitter end. Now it seems the pendulum has again swung in XBOX's favor. I picked up an S to use for gamepass as Forza and Halo are coming out and I cant believe the value I am getting with gamespass. Literally the deal of the century and the S model plays games very fast and I have never once felt like I compromised. I will relegate this unit to my bedroom and replace it with the X in a year or so when they are commonplace as the grind to get a PS5 took alot out of me as far as time consumed goes. I think the S model with gamespass is the best deal ever in the history of gaming and I should know. I have been here for the entire history of videogaming. Congrats Microsoft you just changed the game again.

Upgraded from the Xbox one, I love it so much the difference in speed is incredible and I love all the little updates they made for the new system. Only thing is that the storage it comes with is okay but buying more storage is very expensive. Wish I knew I’d have to spend 150+ for a terabyte of ssd storage. All in all really happy but just remember you’re definitely gonna want extra storage.

I’ve had this for over a year now and I’m still in love with it like the day I got it. For the price it’s incredibly powerful and the graphics look amazing and being able to play games in Dolby vision and Dolby atmos is a massive game winner. If You can get past the digital only aspect of it then it’s an amazing console.

Great console, especially for the price point. Don't let the smaller storage bother you too much, just add an external hdd, 90% of the games run off the external drive. Only some of the Series X/S exclusives require the internal SSD. For instance, Halo MCC runs off the external drive. Also, amazing platform for emulation, if you're into that.
