    Great console other than only 2 games can be installed at a time. Only 2nd time I've seen one sold online and would have preferred the x. Definitely need external drive. Runs fast. Good graphics. Just disappointing

    A great compact system that runs games beautifully at a competitive price. Only downside is the low storage space since modern games take up a lot of room.

    It’s amazing for its price point. It has good graphics and FPS. I love the quick resume feature and it loads games up fast. It’s a travel size console and it’s a great console to get if you’re on a budget, but want to get into the next-gen experience.

    No 4K TV? The Series S is Perfect For You

    If you don't have a 4K TV, then buying this thing is a no-brainer. No need to buy a Series X or PS5 until your TV set up is upgraded. You're essentially getting games at 1080p, however they run incredibly smooth at 60fps. The system targets 1440p but I wouldn't expect that until further down the line. Load times are super fast and rival some gaming PCs. Xbox has an optional membership for its games (think Netflix for games). When a first-party game (Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Elder Scrolls, DOOM, Fallout, Ori, etc.) is released, it immediately becomes available for download. I'd highly recommend joining Game Pass if you purchase the disc-less Series S.

    Bought this for my son. He loves it for his gaming monitor. Didn’t need all the 4K extras but he says it’s super fast and small enough to put on his desk without taking up a whole lot of room. Had to buy the extra memory for it tho.

    This is an amazing price to be able to have access to the latest hardware in the console world and if you don’t use disks anymore than this is the perfect Xbox! I love how it can actually still play supported games at 120fps without sweating as well. Very small form factor so you can place it just about anywhere. I’d say the biggest downside is it having only 512gb of storage out of the box but it’s an ssd so it’s incredibly fast. There is a 1tb model now for $50 more which is another great deal!

    The Xbox S was better then my expectations, I wanted the PS5 but know I won’t get one for a while. The Xbox S is lacking in storage space but makes up for the great graphics and speeds the system works at. Very happy with my purchase

    Overall the load times are super fast once you experience games being loaded on the series s and you go back to the other consoles you'll immediately notice the difference between the too.. Games like cod run smoothly in comparison to older consoles.. Is it a must have upgrade I would say no unless you just want to upgrade to have the latest and greatest quick resume is pretty awesome as well.

    More impressive than I ever thought. For such a low price this thing is very powerful. The quick resume feature is mind blowing. Now the 364GB of storage is an issue but it’s enough for 2-3 triple A games at a time

    Great console, really see a difference. Get a new gen console for a better budget price with everything I wanted. The only thing I find bothering me is how incredibly small the storage on this console feels now that games are over 100gb each.

    Tiny little guy. I have a Series X as well the big black tower and the Series S is so small comparatively it’s crazy. I don’t personally need the disc drive so the S hooked up to a 1440p monitor is the best of both worlds.

    System runs great. Got it for when traveling for work. Have a Series X at home. Definitely not as powerful as that but runs everything I want it to while traveling. Limited storage is a draw back.

    I used to gave a Series X before I upgraded to a PC for my personal gaming. As my kids have grown my wife and I decided to get the Series S to change up “TV time”. I’m shcked at the graphic quality, load times, and network speeds for being almost 1/2 the cost of the Series X. Perfect console for those gaming on the sofa in the living room and/or for kids! High recommend. 5 Stars from me.

    First ever console, this is a whole clutch. I was scared to get an xbox since I’ve never used one before so I would have to get used to then controls. But it was actually so easy to adjust to it. Xbox Series S is fire, I recommend it to anyone wanting a new console. Plus, the controls are smooth fr.
