    Great second Xbox for your desk

    I've been using this as a second xbox that's connected to my monitor of my work desk. I use a Mac for work but when I want to take a break, I switch my display to the xbox and I can game immediately. It's small, unobtrusive and serves as my primary gaming device when I'm playing games solo. I have a separate Xbox Series X in my family room attached to the TV which serves as my primary party/media consumption device. Only thing to note is that you can't be logged into xbox live with the same account on both devices at the same time. It will log you out of the other device.

    Great console, way better than the 2013 Xbox I had. Now starting to have issues with the syncing of controllers. Good Xbox though

    Really great. I have both the series X and this one....it's really about the space because I don't notice a huge difference with loading speeds.

    I purchased this while I waited out the strangle hold scammers and Microsoft had on the availability of the Series X. By the time I write this review, I have finally purchased the X and have been highly unimpressed with the X and the lag/glitchy performance of my X. My Series S performed exceptionally better then my X does and for the value, the S is highly superior especially due to the manipulation of the availability of the X and price at which most owners have been forced to pay to get the X.

    I have been away from Xbox for 15 years having only ever owned the original Xbox. I was lucky enough to hit bestbuy.com on a day when the console was available locally and I snagged it! Connected and optimized the Series S to a 4K HDR TV and the console loads quickly and looks and plays beautifully! Game Pass is the way to go on this all digital device with the Seagate external hard drive, but looking forward to purchasing some digital games in due time. Thanks to the Mechanicsburg, PA Best Buy staff for all of their assistance with everything related to this purchase!

    Great Next Gen Console for 1440p

    Great price for the hardware. If you are wanting a next gen console, but okay with 1440p gaming, then this is the one to get. If you have to have 4K, then you are better off going for the Series X. Otherwise, this is a great gaming console. Load times are very quick. The only thing I didn’t care for was the controller, but that is only because I have large hands. If you have large hands, then you might experience cramping after about 30 minutes or so of gaming. If this is the case, then the previous Xbox controller might be better for you since it still compatible with it.
