    Got this for my SO's birthday, and I have to say that it is a great buy. If you think you might need extra memory at any point, just buy an SSD (I purchased a 1TB and it all works together like a charm). Unless you 100% HAVE to HAVE the X, get this console...so worth it. Graphics are amazing, quick loading times, just a good unit overall.

    The system itself runs great! I’m overall satisfied. The only downfall is the memory. I can only hold about 5 games where as on my Xbox One, I could how 23

    Love my Xbox! Year later and still nothing is wrong and have not had any problems. Still works amazingly well and I stream from Xbox almost every weekend. Fits perfectly well with my aesthetics.

    I placed the order and they had it ready that same day. I was not able to retrieve until a few days after. The retrieval went smoothly with no issues. The Series S runs flawlessly and you can notice the difference. I mainly play Apex and it is definitely more pristine and noticeable. It also runs at 60 FPS

    The series s is a very good system.. System operates very quietly and the graphics are superb. I am currently playing flight simulator and Mlb the show and both games look fantastic. Only draw back would be the ssd being 512 gb but to me it's a non issue because I'll only actually play a couple of games at a times in a month or two......

    I love it. Except for one thing. Hard drive sucks. No space. I own 30 games digitally and only 4 fit on it with three people having different tastes. The expansion card cost almost as much as the game. Very disappointed about such a small fix that Microsoft decided to nickel and dime their customers for. Just once I want to see a company “do the right thing”. Just once. There wouldn’t be any money list. Instead of spending money on expansion I would spend it on games. Now I won’t buy the expansion or the games. “Do the right thing” and you’ll still make major money.

    Bought for my husband for Christmas last year and let’s just say I’ve been playing it more than him, the storage is great for the type of gaming we do and the quality is good it hasn’t glitched out or ran hot.

    Next Gen Gaming at an accessible price point

    Next Gen Gaming comes at an accessible price point. If you're willing to sacrifice a disk drive, this is recommended. Although, beware that you will only get about 380 GB out of the box to use for games and apps, meaning that Microsoft's $220 expansion card is basically a must have. If you can get a series x, get it. Otherwise this is a great alternative.

    This is a great way to get into next-gen for a low price. Who needs an optical drive in 2021? And those who say not to buy the S because of the storage... I got news for ya. That 1TB in your series X ain't gonna be enough either in a year or two (if you are a serious gamer). So you're going to end up buying the expanded storage either way.
