    First Xbox I’ve owned since the 360 and holy cow is this quick. It is the perfect game pass machine. Just wish it had a little more storage.

    Compact and beautiful to display, runs well plays everything you want too, nothing but satisfied with the product. My only gripe would be storage but easily upgradable if you choose so.

    I have the series X and wanted to get my Dad playing Microsoft Flight Simulator. He doesn't have a PC, so I got him the Series S. It has worked out perfectly! He's 78 and is able to navigate to play the game. I'm very happy!

    The quickness of loading and downloading games or movies, the slimness of the console as well surprised me. The picture quality and frame rate is smooth and really happy with how I do not have a slow frame rate and with modern warfare I can see the finer detail of everything in game.

    Was really happy with my recent purchase. Having an Xbox that I can take on the go without having to bring CDs with me or anything as much easier much nicer and I can use it with a portable screen. The great for your casual user

    Bought this for my son to replace his Xbox One X. He says it performs much better on his games than his old unit. It's a no brainer for X/S series optimized games and will soon be a requirement to play new games coming out.

    Great little box doesn’t feel like an upgrade what so ever tho it has very fast load times if you want good graphics this isn’t a good console whatsoever I have never seen the stupid series x in stock ever but this little guy is weak found a ps5 finally you can reallly tell the difference as far as textures go if I could get the x I’d probably give three out of four this definitely isn’t the best new generation we have had games hardly changed think back to ps2 to ps3 Xbox one to 360

    Decent little system. Allows you to play modern and previous xbox games at a reasonable price. Purchased with a game pass subscription and the number of games available is impressive.

    This small console packs a major punch, the quick resume feature makes everything better. If you're looking for a amazing system for a affordable price, the Xbox Series S is a great choice. Your Tv plays major part when it comes to Graphics

    My son loves it! It doesn’t have a disk drive so you don’t run into the issue with the red ring of death. Only issue is the storage, but that can be fixed with an external HD.

    I have a fantastic 4K tv that would pair perfectly with the Xbox Series X but the S more than does the job. Unless you need a disc drive there’s no reason to get an X. With the quick loading time and the smaller sized game the Series S is perfect and easy to fit anywhere in your home

    While the Series S is not the most powerful console on the market, it surely is the best intro to the games industry proper. I bought this as a grad gift for one of my college friends and he absolutely adores it. This is a wonderful foray into anyone new to the Xbox ecosystem or community.
