    This is the peak of affordable gaming consoles. Physical copies of games are becoming a thing of the past, and this console takes advantage of that to bring a more affordable and compact gaming experience.

    Ugh may I say it…I actually like this console. I am a PlayStation girl so that’s saying a lot. From the game pass to graphics is great! I just wish I had more space smh the controllers are super reasonable but they do stick after a year.

    Customer service made it really easy to pick up my Xbox series S, even looked up and answered questions i had about another product. When i got it home unpacked and plugged in the first thing i noticed was the video quality and how quick the load time was. Its perfect! Im obsessed with my new Xbox series S.

    We love the Xbox series games and the new console is great, just can’t play discs, and we added a seagate hard drive for an extra terrabyte which makes it an awesome console.

    The Series S may not be a powerhouse like the Series X but it’s small size, light weight, and huge library of downloadable games makes it a great addition for any gamer. My only complaint is the 500gb hard drive but I usually just delete games when I know I won’t play them for a while.

    This is my first Xbox, and I'm loving it. There are a ton of games available, and the Xbox Gamepass is cheap enough and has enough games to last a while. I do wish that the storage was 1tb minimum, but my understanding is that extra storage can be purchased separately.

    Just purchased it only for Flight Simulator 2020 download. Fast, plenty of storage, and compact. Seamless purchase and gift delivery to a distant Best Buy and the email receipt credentialed the recipient to pick up the items a Best Buy in their city.

    I purchased this system to have access to older games that I’m not willing to go through the trouble of trying to make them run on my PC. Games like Red Dead Redemption, Asura’s Wrath, Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2, The Darkness, etc. it’s working out as a great companion console besides my PS5.

    Got this for my son for Christmas great console only thing is it needs to be flat if it’s on its side it will over heat just like the series x can’t stand up but it’s fast snappy and runs games perfectly

    This has been an awesome purchase. The speed and graphics blow me away. Down side is the hard drive size. I ended up buying the Seagate expansion card. Problem solved Game pass ultimate was a no brainer. Very pleased probably would have bought the series x but it wasn't available. No regrets here. Great purchase

    I find this device very fun and useful! I love not having to use a disk! It saves so much more space! And the console itself is smaller which is great! It helps with keeping less space used!

    I love it. It is great for my son. It’s smaller than the Xbox one S and it’s so quiet. Gamepass is the best thing to buy for a kid as well. So many games for kids available.

    This unit is impressive. Runs SMOOTH, much improved experience over the pixel pushing one X. I'd much rather run 1080p at 120fps/60fps rock solid than frame dropping like the units about to have a stroke. This Series S performs just as expected and in some aspects in far exceeding expectations!! I LOVE IT!!!

    Great console and even with the limited storage most games still work great on it. It even comes with batteries in the controller. Unfortunately it’s not a rechargeable battery
