    Its nice being able to play next gen games now. Love the smaller size compared to its predecessor. Great buy for the value next gen consol for under 400$ is a steal comes with control and a month of game pass.

    People talk about this console as the unwanted child but personally if i had kids and they wanted to play next gen(current gen), this is it. For the price, you really can’t beat the Xbox Series S WITH GAMEPASS. That part is essentially.

    I bought this to be able to play mouse and keyboard at an affordable price and it’s perfect for me! I connected it to my computer monitor and now am able to game without any issues on mouse and keyboard! I personally play fortnite and it runs great on this Xbox! I’ve had no issues with it!

    Unfortunately, I have the Xbox Series X so I gave this console to a friend. He says it's super small compared to the original Xbox S. You definitely need invest in a hard drive, especially if you plan on buying the new Call of Duty, it'll take up more than half the space. He says the graphics are smooth, and the controller is legit. Oh and he says his TV is super old, so it looks bad right now.

    Good console but not much optimized support as X!

    At launch time of Xbox Series X|S, I had always want Xbox Series X before I gave up with my Xbox Series S after compared between Xbox Series X|S and their restocks. I saw some games support optimized like Ray Tracing on both Xbox Series X|S or Xbox Series X only depending on the features. Smart Delivery caused some games asked me to require upgrade to Xbox Series X|S game from Xbox One game. I don't recommended Smart Delivery but Dual entitlement is highly recommended! If I have Xbox One X (Not S), then I would waiting to purchase Xbox Series X instead of S. My Xbox Series S is totally worth upgrade from my Xbox One S.

    Great 1440p Console!

    I have nothing to say but great things, fast, quiet, and great graphics. This little thing is impressive. I have the Xbox Series X as well and you can tell it doesn’t have the same level of graphics but if your fine with 1440p gaming then look no further. If you want buttery smooth 4K and higher FPS then hold out for the Series X. All in all this is an amazing little machine!

    I absolutely love my Series S. Graphics are amazing on my 4k monitor. If you dont want to wait and save another $200 for the series x get this one. It is worth every penny! Storage is a problem but just get the expansion and you are all set.

    I was super excited to get this new Xbox and every time I got closer to Best Buy my excitement kept rising. I would definitely recommend this for the price it is. The packaging alone was beautiful along with the Xbox. The Xbox is so small that u can carry it with one hand even if your were a kid. Xbox did and great job creating this!

    I got this console for one of my best friends. I got to say, it’s probably the best decision I’ve ever made, playing with him on a new gen console is easier for the both of us

    I wanted the digital version because 90% of all the games I bought for the one were digital. It’s awesome to have all those games back and then some. I upgraded from an S and I have to say the picture quality change and load times are very very noticeable. I kind of wish I dropped more for the Series X but this is a fine machine nonetheless, and very small!

    This console does everything the series x does just at 1440p, and trust me, you'll be hard-pressed to find the difference from a normal tv viewing distance. Gears 5 at 120fps is incredible and it is amazing even on my LGTV from 4 year's ago. Disc drives don't matter to me when you have game pass. This console is a small form factor beast.
