    Small, light, easily portable. If your looking for a new system and don’t want to pay top dollar this is the one to get.

    It is top of the line. I went from xbox one to this, well you can tell a big difference in graphics, and the playing part of the game is nice. You have a big thing like waiting for a game to load, not anymore. This thing loads ark great, it enhances everything. You can buy this and enjoy playing games all night long.

    This console is well worth the price. It’s runs very smooth and compare to the Xbox one X, there is no comparison. Only downfall is the internal hard drive is not big enough to store a full library of games, but this is not a big issue for me. I got this for the performance and it has been a super purchase for me!

    Games look great and I love how small it is. Storage is enough for now. The only thing is that I do wish that I would have waited a little bit more for the Series X because it is nice to be able to buy used disc games for cheaper prices. There are a lot of games on Game Pass but I miss being able to buy new releases secondhand for much cheaper. For that reason and for the actual system differences, if I were to do it over again I would probably have just waited and paid a little more for the X.

    The system its self is very impressive but if your looking for memory space i would recommend getting the xbox X due to having such low memory space it gets frustrating when you want to downloaded a new game of corse there other option like getting a memory card attchment but at that point might as well get the Xbox X this system is best for digital games and if you only really play one or two games the low memory space is really the only issue i have with it if you dont have much money to spend on a system this one is nice and affordable truly is a little brother of the series x

    Such a great value for the price point! I have game pass for the next 3 years and this console is perfect for my needs. The console has such a low profile that it will fit in any entertainment setup. Cooling is also a non-issue with the huge fan. Highly recommended for those with game pass and not picky about hardware.

    Good console. Have been out of gaming for a awhile. So this was a great introduction back into gaming. Downside is it has limited storage. However you can get more stroage by getting a external hardrive. Overall it is a good buy.

    Enjoying my Series S. Fun & Inexpensive Gaming

    Honestly, it’s exactly what it says on the box. If you aren’t super into gaming, or if you want to game on a budget, the Series S is the best way to go. Get Game Pass Ultimate, and start drifting into paying some awesome games and Xbox exclusives! Two things to know before you buy though, you will need additional storage. That game storage can get a little bit tight after you’ve been playing for a while. You won’t need it right away, but give it a couple of months and look into some expansion cards for your Series S. Also look into chargeable battery packs. Besides that, if you are looking for cheaper but still awesome gaming, Series S is the way to go. If you do have that additional funds to spend out, weigh you options and look at one of the nex Gen disc consoles (Series X or PS5).

    Xbox has always been my favorite console. Since everything has pretty much gone digital, needing a disc drive seemed irrelevant. However, in buying this for our household, I failed to realize you need the additional SD memory card if you’re going to be playing any of the series S/X version games. Older expandable drives to not work for this series. You have to get the new cards. Which isn’t cheap. For another $75-100, you can get the series X that gives you everything.

    Fast load times, great graphics, and the controller is easier to use than my previous experience with the PS4 controller. Get one! And with the Game Pass, it's a blast to picks from over 100 games to play on demand (after downloading, that is...) The design also looks very nice chilling near my TV.

    phenomenal value for a next gen experience! I have a hard time telling the difference on my 40" 4k screen from my SX console in 4k on my 55" if money is an issue or you need a second room xbox do not hesitate with the Series S, I love how small it is compared to the hulking ps5 and fridge SX

    Good deal if you need a console upgrade but aren’t a big time gamer. Value is great in $-per-feature, compared to the Xbox series X, ps5 both versions. Real question is whether you value gaming enough to pay for more nifty features. This is the Honda Accord, does everything well that you need and won’t set you back anymore than you need, while the other consoles may be more akin to slightly more sporty cars that are cool and all, but don’t necessarily make a huge difference in its overall real purpose.

    I bought this for my son, he loves his Bornday present. It's "Next Gen" enough for hom to get the benefits of the higher fps & enhanced graphics, yet easily fit in his room and easy on my wallet. I wasn't sure of the Series S, I own a Series X since launch. However I'm sold on the system.

    I've owned an Xbox Series X since launch. My review will be based on the differences in both. But, if you're looking to step into NextGEN gaming... the Series S is a great starting place PROS: - A great price point if you're not heavily gaming (A few hours a week) - Backwards Compatibility Catalog (Not all but some great OG Xbox and 360) - Game Pass basically adds a library of over 100 games (from AAA to Indie) which makes it perfect for the Series S - No controller drift... yet (Series X) - Resolution and Framerate improvements to older games CONS: - Lack of NEW Games (that take advantage of the system power) PREFERENCES (Things that can be a pro or con based on the user) - Controller is a little smaller (In some games that work in my favor, in others it don't) - Series S doesn't have True 4K 60fps (but a lot of the time I'm playing in 1080p 120fps) Some might like the review, some might not. But, this review is intended to help you decide whether you want a Series S. In my opinion, Series S and Game Pass are a bargain.
