Good console love that its compact and easy to move

Great for traveling, amazing at 1440 or 1080. I got this for when I travel its smaller and lighter than my gaming Razer 15. I does great when I'm at the hotel and they only have 1080p TV. its small and light and you only need to bring the power cable, hdmi and a controller and your set. seems like my gaming computer is on par on graphics as well. If yo want a compact gaming console to travel with you for yourself or your kids this is the one to get and at the same time if you dont want to game and just watch streaming services this works to. I think the price is a bit high at 300 but at 250 which I feel it will be next year around the holidays it will come down in price.

Great machine ... speed, crisp graphics, super sound. My only complaint is with Microsoft. I have a number of disc based XBOX One and 360 games that are compatible with the Series S however I have to rebuy them; there should be a disc trade in program ... I'd even be ok paying a nominal $5 trade in fee

What can I say, next gen consoles are where it’s at. I don’t own a 4K tv or monitor yet so I’m literally losing out on nothing with series s over the x except some storage space. Which would be my only complaint about this system, the hard drive is a bit small, and games like COD and Destiny 2 eat it up real quick. Still get the blazing fast load times and 60 FPS that series x offers though, which is really what I want. Love the Xbox ecosystem and operating system vs their rivals. Xbox game pass is a game changer, it’s a tad pricey for the service, but worth every penny will not go back to a console without it.

It’s an amazing device at a great price, no other competitors, and it plays all modern games. Huge fan. Only issue is storage, I could only install 4 games.

As a low cost alternative to the much harder to find Series X this tiny little console delivers a lot! Runs cool and quiet and looks beautiful on a 4K display.

Strong console for a great price. Runs great and it’s very quiet. It’s really small so it fits almost anywhere

This is a great gaming console. I like it better than the playstation. Xbox game pass subscription makes a great addition. Plenty of great games for everyone out there. Backward compatibility is the best. The only gripe is not enough onboard storage. In addition an option for physical game disks would be nice. However you can use external storage for older generation games, such as an external hard-drive. However Microsoft's proprietary expansion card is required for next generation games. Overall great value.

Great performance, speed, and value. Only an issue if you have a large physical disc collection, console is digital only

Great console for the price. Can’t store too many games on the console itself due to the hard drive size but still a great console with great graphics.

Works perfectly and is so much faster than my Xbox one! Love that is digital so it's so much slimmer too.

I’m really impressed with the size of the unit and what it can do and it’s very quiet and the price is not bad. You will need an external hard drive. Other than that it’s amazing.

I came from an Xbox 1 original and I can definitely see the snappiness and the better graphics than the Xbox 1. It fits nicely in the current spot of the old Xbox 1. I was leading toward the Series X, but do to it’s high demand and the ridiculous prices from other merchants this was a no brainer. All my games are digital anyway so that along was a plus. The remote have a good texture in my hands in comparison to the old Xbox 1 remote. Say goodby to that brick for power as well the Xbox Series S only had a single cable to supply power. This is a must if you are in my current situation coming from the original Xbox 1.

Without the drive for disk game is a not a problem and price is less the the x style. The speed and loading is super fast. Definitely great at what it can do. Recommend it,

Nice console. Cheap and compact also. Plays the same games as the series X at a lower resolution. If u don’t have a 4K tv then this is the next gen Xbox you are looking for.

People's Main Concern: Only 512GB storage and only 300GB+ usable storage. My thoughts: Yes, the storage could be smaller than what is desirable these days but that is not the point of this console. Most people recommended this machine for GamePass but don't let them fool you. Add a 2TB (or more) external HDD and a 1TB Seagate Expansion Card (which is a must whether you have the Series X or S) and this machine can be turned into a 1080p beast gaming console. This is my very first non-Nintendo gaming console so I've been doing a lot of catching up to especially the games that can't be found in PC like RDR1 and NBA 2K21 Next Gen.

For a much lower price than the other next-gen options, you can't really ask much more from it. Runs all of my games perfectly and fits perfectly basically to anywhere you want it.

It is awesome for the price. The graphics are fantastic and the device is a space saver. Though, this console is small it packs huge fun. I would definitely recommend this item.

Great gaming console and better than expected. It’s powerful, quiet, and compact. The graphics look great and fast loading and quick resume is an awesome feature coming from a One S. Originally, I was holding out for a Series X because I didn’t think this would be powerful enough and be up to standard, but I was wrong and am very happy with this purchase. Game pass also rocks on this. I only wish this console had a larger hard drive. I think 512 gb is small for today’s games so I may get external storage down the line but this isn’t needed right now (having 4 or 5 large games at a time is more than enough).

To preface, I'm very happy with my Series S. It's super small and portable. The SSD is so much faster than the SATA II disk drive in the xbox one x. The new features like quick resume and remote play are awesome. This would have been a five star review IF Microsoft had chosen to give the device more than 370-ish GB of usable storage. Current gen games take up 100-200GB of storage space in some cases. If games remain the same size or become larger the series S will not be future proof. The solution is to buy the wildly overpriced $220 1TB expansion card if you want SSD speeds, or buy a third party external drive and plug in via USB. With the Xbox One X Microsoft used what was at the time 10 year old storage technology. Microsoft just doesn't seem to understand how to properly implement storage into any of their consoles or they are knowingly trying to squeeze more money out of us. As of writing this I've filled up all of the consoles storage and 1TB of external storage. I refuse to purchase Microsoft's external SSD out of principal. The console really is a leap forward, I just don't appreciate when a company makes a conscious decision to do something that is extremely anti consumer.
