    Very happy with the S, not playing 4k so don't need the big brother. Unit is surprisingly small, which is great - I was able to mount it on the back of the TV so it's completely out of site (custom mounting that I improvised myself) and being disc-free positioning is not a relevant.

    Xbox S 512 GB All Digital console is amazing. I love that I don't have to worry about disc scratches running your purchase. In addition, the loading speed of the games is so quick. If you are on the fence, I'd highly recommend purchasing this unit over a PS5

    Worked well, couldn’t handle too much though, space was plenty especially if you just download and delete often like I do, graphics were great, and this generation of controllers are amazing

    I have both Series X and A. SERIES x is definitely more powerful but I love how compact this Series S model is. If graphics isn't really important to you or maybe you have a 1080ptv and no4, I would really recommend this model over series x. Game pass is highly recommend too

    I bought two consoles, one for each of my kids. I considered buying one Series X instead, but glad I went for the Series S. They only play o e game and are happy with the power of the console.

    We purchased this console as a Christmas gift, so the young man who will receive it has yet to test it out. However, he has played with it at friends' homes and he love it. So, I am confident that he will enjoy various games with this Xbox for a long time.

    Love this little Xbox. I’m a PS5 player first and foremost, so I knew the Xbox would take a back seat, but excellent for what I use it for. Lack of disk drive can be frustrating, but super fast and great if you use it for things like Netflix and all in addition to games.

    This is very small and it weighs around 5 pounds and its very quiet and downloading games on the internal storage is very fast. This is recommended for those who have game passes and wants to play it there besides PC cause Outriders is coming to game pass day one for consoles only.

    I've had both the Series S and the Series X and it's hard to see the difference really. For the price, this seems to be the winner. Only downside is the smaller harddrive. Otherwise, great gaming system.

    I was on the Sony playform with the PS3 ans PS4. I couldn’t find a PS5 for the last couple years then opted to get this system and couldn’t be happier. It does everything the PlayStation does. Im glad i have it.

    While the Series X is gold standard, the S provides excellent value. With GamePass (with cloud play!) remote play and excellent back catalog, this provides great gaming. Storage isnt great, but can be expanded.

    This a great option for last generation gaming if you can’t find any other in stock or they want to charge you over the original price. It’s a great gaming console, with a lot of games and simulators. Very happy with it!.
