    Great little box doesn’t feel like an upgrade what so ever tho it has very fast load times if you want good graphics this isn’t a good console whatsoever I have never seen the stupid series x in stock ever but this little guy is weak found a ps5 finally you can reallly tell the difference as far as textures go if I could get the x I’d probably give three out of four this definitely isn’t the best new generation we have had games hardly changed think back to ps2 to ps3 Xbox one to 360

    This small console packs a major punch, the quick resume feature makes everything better. If you're looking for a amazing system for a affordable price, the Xbox Series S is a great choice. Your Tv plays major part when it comes to Graphics

    I am amazed by the power that the Xbox Series S has. Boot times and load times are so much better than the Xbox One X. If you have any doubts, just go for it. You won't be disappointed. But I do recommend an external hard drive.

    Not much different than our Series One S. Still has the occasional freeze, and Microsoft makes it more difficult than necessary to share games within the family, but the new generation games work with no issues, which is why we had to replace our older version. I added the expansion drive to make sure we didnt run out of space, but I have not had to use it yet.

    I bought this as a replacement for my wife’s Xbox that gave up the ghost. It is discless, and is meant for 1440p, but it still plays everything about as well as my friends series x. Overall a good value for 300.

    Works very well for what it is. Very small and quiet. Only real complaint is lack of 4k and very limited hard drive space.

    I have the series X and wanted to get my Dad playing Microsoft Flight Simulator. He doesn't have a PC, so I got him the Series S. It has worked out perfectly! He's 78 and is able to navigate to play the game. I'm very happy!

    I have a fantastic 4K tv that would pair perfectly with the Xbox Series X but the S more than does the job. Unless you need a disc drive there’s no reason to get an X. With the quick loading time and the smaller sized game the Series S is perfect and easy to fit anywhere in your home

    While the Series S is not the most powerful console on the market, it surely is the best intro to the games industry proper. I bought this as a grad gift for one of my college friends and he absolutely adores it. This is a wonderful foray into anyone new to the Xbox ecosystem or community.

    Was really happy with my recent purchase. Having an Xbox that I can take on the go without having to bring CDs with me or anything as much easier much nicer and I can use it with a portable screen. The great for your casual user

    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.

    Xbox series S packs a punch especially for the size of the product. 10/10 would recommend buying if it’s available. Had a slight delivery delay but that was through UPS once it was shipped. Best Buy keeps me updated about my product and made sure it got there as soon as possible.

    Almost perfect. Feels like this is the best XBOX. Simple form, fan exhausts hot air, games load or start or re-start so fast. So easy to transfer my account and get up and playing games, fast. I think I am in love ;) Did I mention the new controller is awesome too?

    Bought this for my son for Christmas as it was the cheapest machine that had a game (T.A.B.S,) that he wanted to play. instead of getting a gaming PC. Since we got it for him, he plays it almost exclusively now, as his PS4 and Nintendo Switch don't get used much anymore.
