    If you're looking for a console for next gen gaming, and you're not willing to spend much for it. This is the console to go for.

    The Xbox works and everything but I was supposed to come with a 1-Month Xbox Game Pass trial, and 14-Day Xbox Live Gold Trial but those were missing from the box. Not as big deal but if it says it supposed to be there than you expect it to be since I paid for it.

    For 300$ the quality is amazing it smoothly runs 120fps in all the games I play, and the 4K is awesome. Along with if you are switching from monitor to and other display device it’s a very fast swap

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying the value of your new Xbox Series S! If you're looking for a version that includes an optical drive, we recommend checking out Xbox Series X. It has the ability to play Xbox disc games as well as 4K UHD Blu-rays.

      Happy gaming,

    Purchased for a Christmas gift for my grandson. He was very excited to receive it as supply was very limited. The order process was very smooth and the item was ready for pickup at our local Best Buy a day earlier than expected. Overall, a great experience.

    This product is extremely basic, limited storage, previous external hard drives do not work with this console to save games. Does not have the features and capability of the Series X, would honestly just wait and spend extra on the Series X especially if gaming in 4K.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback on Xbox Series S. The good news is that you may use standard external hard drives to store games, and even play games that are not enhanced for Xbox Series X/S consoles. Please note that games optimized for Xbox Series X/S must be installed on its internal hard drive. We hope you have fun using your Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
