Good console for the price being my first Xbox it runs smoothly and it’s great for games

This system is absolutely perfect, best bang for your buck. Runs greats, the quality of the graphics is amazing especially paired with my Asus monitor. Couldn’t be more happy with my purchase!

This was my first console other than my xbox 360 and this is perfect!!! I love it so much and fun fact I brought this on the same day as elden ring but an year before

Great, inexpensive system to get into next gen. The Xbox Series S was easy to set up and all games run much faster and smoother than the previous gen. Console is silent, even after multiple hours of play time. Between the catalog of game pass and the upcoming Series X|S titles this console is a no brainer!

wanted an X model but went with this because it became available at msrp! only complaint is the space! if there are any X/S optimized games they only work on the built in drive or the $200 1TB expansion card! but other then that if you don't mind not having a ton of space its a nice system!

I purchased this because I couldn't get my hands on a Playstation 5, and I have to say, this console compliments Game Pass well. More than enough storage for about 10+ games (not AAA titles that take up to 80+ GBs). This is definitely keeping me busy until more Playstation 5's available.

Perfect modern console. Quick load times and Game Pass offers extensive selection. Buy the 512 gig memory card and you're set. 1440 native and 4k upscaling work perfectly on my 65 inch Samsung Q60T do don't mind reviews to the contrary.

Very fast you really don't need disc anymore it's better online nowadays game sharing and game pass and xbox still my number 1! Playstation is a close number 2 but thats more for single player games like the last of us...

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.

It is what you expect from a console good graphics, loads games pretty fast i like do recommend

This console works great and is a huge jump from the older generations. Not a lot of issues with lag that I've noticed. I am considering on purchasing a Series X though because of how powerful it is. But for someone on a budget, this console will work great for you.

I like the S. it’s small size allows for easy placement and transportation. Also cool that you can play all the X games from such a small console. I really don’t miss the disk options as I play mostly digital games anyway.

It came with everything needed. My daughter loves it. The memory isn’t very much so an external hard drive is definitely needed if you’re planning on playing many different games that require a sizable amount of storage.

I picked up a PS5 for myself and an Xbox series S for my son, and to be honest (and I’m a Sony guy normally) I’m a bit more impressed with this little console! It’s actually silent whereas the ps5 does have some fan noise, and if you have a model with a disc drive. Playing physical games adds to that noise ... The only place that Sony has Microsoft beat is the controller....Well in some ways... The new Xbox controller is an Improvement from the Xbox one controller, a very minor one, but with making only minor improvements, Microsoft has managed to maintain a battery life that we’ve come to expect. The PS5 Dualsense on the other hand, with its new features such as an internal microphone and adaptive triggers suck the battery about 25% quicker than these depending on what game your playing and how much these features are utilized.. overall there are pros and cons for both consoles.. but my list of cons is a bit shorter for the Xbox Series S than it is for the PS5. Buy it if you get the chance! You won’t regret it!

My son loves it. His old xbox was on the way out and he was due for an upgrade

Purchased as a gift as an upgrade from an Xbox One to the Xbox Series S. The load times are so much faster and getting to play in 60fps is an adjustment, but it’s well worth it. Only complaint might be that the controller eats batteries, and I’d recommend getting a rechargeable battery if you play a lot.

I love my new Xbox!!! This thing runs soooooo smoothly. Just as a reference, I used to game on a gaming PC with an RTX 2060 SUPER to mainly play Fortnite but honestly I do not really see a difference as far as a gaming experience. That tells you something. It's super quiet and overall an amazing machine!

I got this because the X wasn't available and I wanted a console that could play the new Harry Potter game that's coming out. So far it works great, much more performant than my Xbox One. It plays Cyberpunk much better.

I purchased this console through Bestbuy and I was so excited to see what all the hype was about. My first game I downloaded was GTA 5 and the gameplay was phenomenal on the console and the graphics were amazing. Highly recommend!!

Good console for the price Just the 500gb feels a little short
