My favorite thing about this Xbox is how small it is! I wasn’t really into specs of the series x, plus I don’t have a tv or monitor that could take advantage of them, so I decided to go with the series S. My only complain is the storage size.

Love it! I bought this for my wife for her birthday to upgrade for the Xbox one, performs great.

This Xbox is great for streaming and watching YouTube and Netflix, and sometimes playing games on it can be tricky cause it does overheat, but overall, it's a great Xbox

Fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to upgrade from the XBOX ONE. This is super-fast and performs like no console I have used before. Obviously, the small hard drive is a pain, but it is it what it is. So worth the low cost, in my opinion.

Great upgrade from the past gen, smooth transition for those already accumulated into the XB ecosystem. Using the app to set up your Series S is super quick and easy. Along with quick resume. 4K gaming never looked better and this machine is quiet. Certainly beats PS4.

overall this is a good console for anyone who either doesn't care about 4k or that can't find a Series X or Ps5. games download quick, no framerate dips thus far, fast loading times. main issue i have is the storage. If you want to play games optimized for the Series S/X you will need to make smart use of its 364GB of usable storage or fork out another +$220 for the Seagate 1TB expansion card or get a lower spec HDD or SSD for older unoptimized games.

If you really don’t care about 4K resolution then buy this console. If you aren’t a console fanatic then buy this console. If you don’t care about physical discs or don’t see it as a con then buy this console. If you don’t mind the 330gb of usable storage then buy this console. For this price I think it’s capable of delivering next gen performance at an affordable price. It’s small clean and compact sort of. A neat console for its price point.

This thing is very underrated. Its fast and small, and is perfect if you want to travel with just a couple of "essential" games......or stash it in a room/place that wouldn't normally have space for a console setup. Just cant do 8K....oh well.

I went back and forth for several months deciding if I wanted the series x or series s. At the end of the day, I realized that for me personally, the Series S made the most sense. Sure the X has a few more features graphically but I have a really good PC for that. This is perfect for how I play games and the type of games I play personally. It's reasonably sized, has good performance, and just fits me. I would recommend getting the memory expansion card if you can find a deal on it. These days 4-5 AAA titles will fill the available memory. It's not a requirement to get that expansion card however as it will keep your progress files intact even when you uninstall a game to make space for other titles and any title you buy can be added back later or on another series x/s console elsewhere. Glad to Add this one to my collection and given the opportunity i'd buy it again!

Phenomenal gaming system! Very easy to set up and small enough to fit in any gamers space. No long load times and quick connectivity to the internet. You can also add a expandable device for larger storage capacity.

My mom-in-law purchased this as a gift for our Princess’ 15th birthday. She says it’s fast and easy to use and doesn’t wish to share it with her much younger siblings; yet. A 2nd console is still up for debate.

Setting up and playing with it was easy however issues with connectivity through wifi was resolved by using a wired connection so it works much better with a wired connection than with wifi

perfect console for gamin, small compact and runs very fast.

I am very happy with my purchase. Just a few minor complaints. I love the size, and price point. It gets you into the next gen at a realistic price. I think the games run smooth. Sure they are not on same level with Series X or PS5 but they will do. My one complaint is I do not like the Xbox UI and the options for audio / mics. Just seems very dumbed down + hard to navigate.

I purchased this product and did not expect much from it (given its price tag). However, I was absolutely astonished by the pure power of this tiny beast! The Series S can do 1440p60 gaming easily at an extremely cheap price. If you are a beginner to console gaming, or are on a budget; this console is for you.

Really affordable and powerful console I can play whatever game I want digitally. You might need extra storage but for the price is a good deal.

Worth upgrading from the “one”. I also transitioned to a gaming monitor and it’s been incredible. Graphics/gameplay/ everything about it is worth it. Pretty sleek too, and much smaller so it looks good displayed.

Storage is a big problem you have to buy storage card if you want to play more then 3 games only able to use a little over 300 GB the controller that came with it new out of the box the a button sticks down which is a huge deal for every game or watching Netflix not gonna be able to use it at all my old controllers will work better then it the console itself works well just wish more games could be played on external hard drive

The Series S is good, but I wish I had bought another Series X instead. The X is worth the increased cost. But it's good they made this, as the previous generation One X would be 3-stars compared to it, and the previous generation One S would only be 2-stars compared to it. The solid state storage load times make all the difference, but 512GB isn't great.

It is small and perfect for my college dorm. It doesn’t have much space so if you like playing a lot of games at the same time you should invest in a storage pack.
