Preforms well smaller then a box of cereal so placing anywhere isn’t that hard about the quarter the size of the original Xbox one. Graphics are also a improvement.

So small and compact but packs a huge processing power for gaming! Love the size but wish it would have a disk to I could use it for other thing than gaming. Worth the money though!

Love this Xbox was the only one available otherwise would have got the bigger one but this one works good fast start up you would notice the difference if your coming from an older Xbox

Lots of fun with improved graphics over our old Xbox One. We really wanted a series X but even a year out they’re still being scooped by scalpers and impossible to get. When our Xbox One finally died, we ended up going with the Series S after a month of trying. Need all the fun toys working at home during the pandemic and it doesn’t seem like the X will be available any time soon. That said, this is an impressive little machine and I am glad we got it. It’s a huge upgrade and the graphics still look pretty great on our 4k TV. Best of all, we were able to pay a normal price without encouraging greedy scalpers.

Awesome system....with one MAJOR flaw microsoft doesn't tell you about. I recently upgraded from my xbox one s to the series s and you can see a major difference in system speed, graphics etc. I had an external seagate drive attached to my one s and never had any issues. I assumed doing the same with this system wouldn't be a problem, however as you start to download games SPECIFICALLY designed for series x/s or cloud gaming, you are presented a message that because of the speed of the games, it has to be downloaded to the internal memory. So MAJOR drawback having only 512gb of internal memory. Now right now its not a huge issue because most games are not optimized for series x/s but when the gaming ramps up, space disappears quick. And unfortunately, xbox has said external drives even with usb 3.0 are not quick enough speed wise. So what does that mean? If you want to save more things on your xbox, you will need to purchase the additional seagate xbox ssd card which is 200$ for their lowest one. At that point, should have just purchased a series x.

Great console, the graphics are great. The only negative thing is the storage amount but if you don't play that many games you should have no problem.

First of all this thing is a beast. I love having it and game pass takes it to a whole other level. I like how small it is because I travel a lot so it goes with me. This is a must buy.

Performs very wells for such a small console. Very good for light gaming at the end of the day. Really enjoyed playing titles such as Elden Ring

I got exactly what I wanted from Best Buy: an Xbox Series S, very quickly and easy. Pickup was hassle-free, and the console works spectacularly. I bought it to play Mortal Kombat 1, Starfield, and a few other games, and it does so flawlessly. My only "complaint" would be the storage space, but since that's on the product label, you know what you're getting into, and it can be easily fixed by buying an external hard drive.

I was never into gaming, but decided to purchase this as a Christmas gift (FROM: me - TO: me). Man am I glad I did. This is easy to use. Easy to setup. I (personally) love the idea of being digital only. I’m not wanting a bunch of games laying around. This with an xBox Game Pass is PERFECT!!! I get to play so many games because of the pass. The console is sleek and performs great. I have not had any issues. The controller is easy to use and performs very well too.

The Xbox XS is truly an exceptional gaming console that stands out from the rest. Its outstanding level of performance is unmatched, making it the ultimate choice for any serious gamer out there. I'm really drawn to the Xbox XS when it comes to gaming consoles. It just has an incredible level of performance that really sets it apart from the competition. There's no doubt in my mind that this is the gaming console to beat if you're a serious gamer.

This Xbox is great! I upgraded from the Xbox one x and overall there is a big difference. Load times are a lot faster and the graphics look better. Glad I bought the series s!

Bought as a gift and they loved it. Great alternative if you can’t get a series S. Other than low storage, nothing bad about the console. Great value for the price.

Its a great console if you are running on a budget. And it is extremely quiet and compact. Beautifully designed and solid controller.

This is basically a device for furthering the Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, but it's a great device for that. Tiny yet capable and at a good entry price.

I was a Sony guy , but really wanted a console so I decided to get this . It works great, very user friendly with good graphics. No complaints

This device is a great compromise between price and performance 1440p with 120hz works just great. Also having the SSD gives it the next gen loading speed.

I love this console! , it works great and for 300 bucks its one of the best consoles you can buy today to get into the next gen. I would recommend this to a friend.

The Xbox series s is a powerhouse of a console! Can’t beat it for the price! Goes perfectly with Xbox game pass!

Love the new Xbox... I bought the series S reluctantly as I was not able to get the series X. I won’t go into the feature comparison as that is available at several places. Microsoft has finally got this system right for gamers. The instant resume is amazing. I have verified backward compatibility of games all the way back to 360, but only digital purchases work. I do wish Microsoft would bring back Kinect and some way to access disc! I have several docs through different generations and knew that those discs will not work when purchasing. But the series X if you can get one and have a lot of discs, if not the series S is perfect: small and compact.
