    I’m a casual X boxer and this is perfect for me. I use it as a game pass rig and love it. It’s mind blowingly small and the UI is super fast and snappy! The perfect thing to hold me over while I was looking everywhere for a PS5!

    Great little console. Even when playing on 4k/60hz TV, it looks great while sitting on the couch. I play few hours every week and so far it is excellent. It is wiser quite. Only negative is small storage.

    The console is great, but the controller was no good (severe drift, affecting even the Xbox Home Screen). Ended up sending the controller to MS for repair which was a mistake. The console is smaller than you think it is, making it easy to bring to a friends house.

    Easy hook up. You can see the upgrades in game performance. Game Pass is the best value in gaming. I can finally play on XBL lag free. The only negative is limited storage space but my next buy will be the larger storage.

    Love this little box. It's a powerful system. Just wish it had a bigger hard drive. It's so fast. Game pass makes it easy to go all digital. I'll get physical copies of my games on my N Switch. Quick resume is sooo convenient. Its hard to go back to the other systems without that feature. Forza,ori & crysis 2,3 remastered look AMAZING in 1080p upscaled to 4k.

    This was a gift. I have one myself also. So since I haven’t heard Andy complaints from the recipient and I enjoy playing my series S then it gets a good review. I use it as my “Travel Gaming” console.

    Best entry level console for Xbox. If you can find one at a lower price it’s great having some games at 120 and also ways to use as a emulator power house.

    Excellent piece of kit for a den, office, study or to travel with. SSD and CPU just as fast as the Series X and the compact size is remarkable. Perfect for game pass, 1080/1440p, for traveling or if value is most important.

    The Xbox Series S is worth all digital investment

    I had gone with the Xbox Series X back from begining of this year but unable to acquire the extra warranty and protection. So, i had sold it off for my living conditions ans downgraded to the Xbox Series S instead and happy i went this way. I don't have no space for physical media anymore as it's time consuming and regardless, i gotta download the game as the physical discs are placeholders nonetheless. So why waste $500 for an big box without no warranty. When i switched to Xbox Series S with the Best Buy Total Tech is worth protection of my investments into Microsoft. I'm an very satisfied customer
