    Overall a great console to play! I’m not that much of a disk person and I didn’t want to pay the extra 200 dollars for the series x. so the series s was the next best thing it’s loading time are god-like the performance and FPS is crazy for the price. And the design of the console is comfortable and tidy it’s practically invisible! I’d say the series S is perfect for a guy on a budget.

    Love it! Glad I was able to finally get one. Though it’s not the one I would like to have. I am very happy with my purchase! Everything works amazingly well! if you don’t have physical games & you love getting all of them digitally this is the move. Until you’re able to get the series x

    I can’t believe I waited a whole year without a next gen system like this the switch lite is cool but this just takes it to another level I have had both Xbox one an ps4 an this Series S is on a different level than both I definitely suggest if your looking for a next gen system this is the way to go if you don’t want to be overpriced by PS5 an Series X Vaulters…

    If you don’t have a 4K TV and don’t want to break the budget buying you or your family the latest console? It’s the fastest console I’ve ever had, and 2K has never played better. This is the way, my friends. Can’t go wrong with $299.

    Product has been awesome and I'm thrilled to see the improvements to my Xbox One S. I got this as a replacement and was amazed by the quick load times and the quick resume feature. The fact that all of my accessories and digital games also work made it easy on my wallet. Too bad that none of my discs will work, but I haven't bought a disc in three years so I don't think I'll miss those games.

    This little console is an absolute beast. Destiny 2 looks absolutely gorgeous and it loads so fast. After striking out in getting a series X, I got this for my guest bedroom and, ultimately, my fiance uses it to play with me. She went from an Xbox one to this series S and is blown away by everything it offers. I am so glad we decided to grab one of these!

    Great Game Pass Box, But No Surprises

    Really great console for the price. Can't even buy a GPU that does 60fps 1440p, let alone one that does ray tracing, for $300. The most "next-gen" feeling feature here is the Quick Resume. Everything else sort of feels like my older Xbox One X. I attribute most of that feeling to the lack of a meaningful dashboard/UI upgrade. I have a PS5 as well, and that had a from the ground up brand new UI. Over all, super great Game Pass machine. Haven't tapped into the RetroArch emulation you can do on this thing with a dev account, but I'll definitely give it a shot. Giving it a 4/5 because it's a great price vs. performance value, but doesn't really carry the weight of a "next-gen console."

    Bought one purely because I was a able while staying glued to Twitter waiting to scoop up the PS5( ended with G@me$t0p bundle). Was going to sell this Xbox but it actually started to grow on me after awhile. The dif features and point my TV isnt 4K quite kinda makes any graphic difference non existent para me. Worth the $ if you can get one, who knew they’d still be so scarce.

    Great system, as someone who has been looking for a PS5, I decided to switch to looking for a Xbox, and the Series S is a great choice to get if you decide that you still plan to stick with 1080p gaming cause it runs beautifully on 1080p. Storage could be a problem since there's only 350gb of usable space but external storage should be enough. Perfect for the casual gamer.
