    I bought this as a replacement for my fiancés old Xbox! He really likes the improved speed and different gaming options. One thing we noticed very quickly though is the limited amount of storage available. We will have to buy additional storage for him to have all his games. But other than that, we are happy with the purchase!

    Wish they could keep more in stock and the 120 FPS 1440 is either one or the other you can’t have both options even with a higher resolution monitor which is a bummer. The console plays smooth and has quick load times and for the price range out performs the series x in my opinion and is a great option for the budget buyer.

    Replaced my Xbox one S with this bad boy. The Series S is awesome in comparison to the one S. Much faster load times, smoother frame rates and better graphics. I also have a series X for my teenage sons and the series S is still impressive. Its no Series x in terms of raw power but is way better than xbox one.

    Xbox S is amazing at $300. I have bought all my games digitally since xbox 360 so I don't really have a use for a drive anyway. I plan on getting a nice 1440 monitor for my pc so this will work great with it. I don't plan on splurging for a 4k monitor or tv anytime soon but if I ever do, that's when I'll get an x.

    Excellent system, great graphics, and offers an extensive library. Love that this system does not require the discs that tend to get scratched fairly easily. The online play is a so much fun.

    This has been an awesome purchase. The speed and graphics blow me away. Down side is the hard drive size. I ended up buying the Seagate expansion card. Problem solved Game pass ultimate was a no brainer. Very pleased probably would have bought the series x but it wasn't available. No regrets here. Great purchase

    Bought this product on a whim tbh I thought I’d hate it but it’s a great console. The gaming is fast it’s backwards compatible with the Naruto and DBZ games I like so I would recommend it to anybody who wants a console and is deciding between this and the ps5

    my husband finally decided to update his Xbox since so many games are released for x and s. it's so much smaller than his previous Xbox. It's weird not seeing a disc reader.

    The value of the XBOX series S is unbelievable, especially when combined with GAME PASS. Powerful enough to run this generation of gaming with no problems. And what’s even more surprising is, how the XBOX series S can run CIRCLES around the PS5 ☝️. Simply stunning! Happy Gaming Everyone.

    Love it. Small, affordable, and fun. I rarely play video games but I have a few favorite so I thought the series S would be amazing for someone like me who doesn’t play often, but still loves certain games. I was correct. Recommend to me by a friend, and I recommended it to other friends.

    Highly impressed by this little machine. Picked it up as a bedroom system and it's small, sleak, light and packs a punch for 1080p gaming. Excellent machine for running digital backwords compatible titles while the Series X in the living room handles the 4K next-gen (current-gen?) Titles with ease.

    Bought this for my son to replace his Xbox One X. He says it performs much better on his games than his old unit. It's a no brainer for X/S series optimized games and will soon be a requirement to play new games coming out.

    I purchased this to connect to my monitor in my office and it is the perfect size for that. I have been playing Playstation for years so I didnt have any games so the digital version xbox is great. I would recommend game pass, it is such a good deal. Controller does seem a little cheap though.

    This unit is impressive. Runs SMOOTH, much improved experience over the pixel pushing one X. I'd much rather run 1080p at 120fps/60fps rock solid than frame dropping like the units about to have a stroke. This Series S performs just as expected and in some aspects in far exceeding expectations!! I LOVE IT!!!
