    Little powerhouse

    A fantastic little powerhouse! The difference in FPS from a game like AC Odyssey is very noticeable! Runs incredibly smooth and clear. Storage is a downside of purchasing this console, but if you don’t mind removing and downloading what you’ll play most of the time, then it’s fine to work with. The true storage space is about 356GB out of the advertised 512GB.

    It’s not a series X but it’s great

    I don’t miss the physical disc slot at all. Perfect with Game Pass and way faster than my current Xbox One (day one). Quick resume is great, plays well with CEC. Wish I had more storage but it’s pretty fast to download games so it’s not that bad to swap them in and out. I have a USB 4TB I think I can use to just move games back and forth and avoid re downloading…

    My 13-year-old daughter and I decided on this instead of an XBox with the disc tray. It is so easy to browse and access games on the console. The speed and quality I are great! Setup was a breeze for this tech-challenged mama.

    Always with a fan of Xbox now that I got the next gen I am very pleased how well it performs how fast everything is the load time is cut right down I can get right into my games if I pause it go right into another game play that going to the other game it's well worth it downside there's no disc drive but I don't care I get all the games I want online well worth the price

    Great product especially if you’re looking for the newer Xbox but don’t want to spend as much. Love the no disk all digital don’t have to keep up with all the cases for the games or worry about getting scratches

    Found the last one they had in store and was glad! Definitely prefer this over PS. Only issue is while on multiplayer, the xbox heats up, and has issues keeping cool so the game will freeze. Its happened with all 3 Xbox series S's weve had in the house, and theyve all came from different places, so its not Best Buys issue. More of a manufacturer issue.

    Love my Xbox! Year later and still nothing is wrong and have not had any problems. Still works amazingly well and I stream from Xbox almost every weekend. Fits perfectly well with my aesthetics.

    I'm a physical gamer that still likes disc, but this with Game Pass is an excellent investment. My only strike is the storage size. You download a big game or two and it your pretty much eating up the majority of the storage. An external storage device is pretty necessary.

    Bought this system because I couldn’t find any other next gen console for the past 6 month. So I decided to pick this system to experience the next generation of gaming and wow, x box series s is amazing. Now it’s a great hold over until I can pick up the x box series x or ps5 when they updated and lower the prices in a couple of years. I am content with the series s.

    It's hard to say something about this console that hasn't already been said. I'm a PlayStation guy by and large, but the Game Pass deal was too much to not jump on board. This is my first Xbox, and once I got past the differences in OS and such, it's easy enough to manage. I'm playing Halo for the first time, and it's great. If you can manage to score one of these, do it.
