    It’s an Xbox series S, what more can I say? I love this console. I originally got the S because the X was out of stock and honestly I’m really satisfied with this model

    Just purchased it only for Flight Simulator 2020 download. Fast, plenty of storage, and compact. Seamless purchase and gift delivery to a distant Best Buy and the email receipt credentialed the recipient to pick up the items a Best Buy in their city.

    Unexpectedly powerful for such as small box. We bought this as the "2nd Xbox" for the bedroom and I wasn't expecting much. However I've been able to play Assassin's Creed Valhalla at 60 fps after the latest update and it's incredible. The graphics clearly aren't as crisp as the Series X, but for the price the Series S offers great value.

    Huge difference as far as speed compared to the Xbox one x. Controller feels better than the previous models controller but still prefer the elite controller over it. Cheaper version of a PC. When have a chance get one or lucky based off the sales of these consoles and people stop hoarding them. It’s a good console

    The Xbox S

    The main difference I see is the speed compared to the Xbox One and you can pickup where you last left off playing. Is it worth buying if you have the One? No! I only bought it because I can’t buy the Series X! When I get the X I will sell the S! No disk drive isn’t cutting it for Me. I gave it a chance but I need my drive and the HardDrive space is ridiculous. I also have the Elite 2 controller and you have to pair it each time you want to play the One or the S! Microsoft should make the controller pair to,at least, 2 systems at the same time!

    Compact and beautiful to display, runs well plays everything you want too, nothing but satisfied with the product. My only gripe would be storage but easily upgradable if you choose so.

    I love games in general, for this generation of consoles I managed to obtain a PS5 a while back. I will probably be buying the series X once they become more available but this series S is great as my secondary console until then. It takes little space and is powerful enough, highly recommended.

    This is my first Xbox, and I'm loving it. There are a ton of games available, and the Xbox Gamepass is cheap enough and has enough games to last a while. I do wish that the storage was 1tb minimum, but my understanding is that extra storage can be purchased separately.

    This little console is very different. I did like it and didn't at the same time. It does run super quiet and stays cool. It just depends on what you want it for. If you're expecting 4K at high FPS, this is not the model you want. This is a digital only console which I already knew but I was hoping for just a tad more storage. When its all said and done, you only get a little over 300gb of storage which just isn't enough. This console with run most games at 1440p at 60fps. It is just a matter of what you want it for.

    If you’re looking for convenient next generation gaming, or not willing to shelf out big money just yet, this is it for you. Depending on how many games you play, you should consider getting the expansion card, but overall it is a great console. Very convenient with sizing and pleasant to the eye. Would recommend to anyone.
