    Great disc-free console for your everyday gaming. My only cons would be the size of the hard drive and not coming with a rechargeable controller, but both features can be purchased as an add-on.

    Outstanding! Best money worth spend! I highly recommend if you cannot get your hands on the high value consoles for the mean time. And recommend those who dont care about physical copy.

    21st Birthday and my gaming son wanted the new Xbox Series S. Loves playing Madden and the new College Football games on it with his friends. Doubles as a smart device letting him get on NetFlix, Max etc so he does not need a Smart TV at college.

    This series s is nothing short of amazing what it offers for the price. A very small sleek well made powerhouse of a console for only $299, You will have a hard time noticing any difference in graphics or gameplay between this series s compared to the series x or PlayStation 5. I own all three and I’m telling you if this is the only console you own your good. If you have a 4K tv it will upscale games to 4K as well. The console being all digital is not a problem for me as most disc games make you download huge files before even play anyway. And with gamepass you get so many free games to play you be busy a long time. Grab this console it will surprise you.

    I've used my original Xbox One as my secondary console for over 6 years now and it's been a Halo/Gears/Forza machine. I picked up a PS5 a few months ago and absolutely loved the console. Well I decided to give Xbox another chance decided to pick up the less powerful Series S. I'm so glad I made that decision because my PS5 has been collecting dust since picking up my series. I've been addicted to playing Forza and all my friends on PC are able to play some Halo with me thanks to cross-play. People will preach Gamepass over and over and I can't agree more. It's an absolute must if you're considering picking up an Xbox. The ONLY reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I sadly had to return the first Xbox Series S. I originally set up my series S and noticed something was wrong when I tried navigating the system. The up button on the D-Pad started to stick and the console became unusable essentially. Went to Best Buy to return it and luckily they were able to just switch it out for a new controller. Instead of having to order a new console altogether. Overall I highly recommend this console and hopefully, you don't deal with the defect I did.
