    Fast and very nice to play with, if you have game pass, its goated but if you don’t then it's basic yet nice.

    After 3 days of use, I turn it on and there’s no signal, called Microsoft and went through troubleshooting.. nothing worked, have to send it back and wait for them to ship a new one. I expected some faulty consoles, just didn’t think I would pull the short straw :,/ from what I was able to play though, Assassins Creed Valhalla looked very sharp on my 1080p tv and the performance was how you would expect! Overall I think the console is worth $299 if you are going to use it for 1080p-1440p gaming with 60hz refresh rate!

    Best Buy was the only store I could find this system at! It’s much more responsive than last-gen consoles, I couldn’t believe the difference in load times and refresh rates. The new controller is awesome and has a ton more grip than the old ones. Overall awesome product and glad Best Buy had one in stock!

    This system is a great alternative from the series x, the storage could be the only bad thing about it but you can buy a Seagate memory card and that takes care of that problem . Its worth the buy with game pass

    I've never owned an Xbox in my life. I always used PlayStation or PC. But I recently started using gamepass on my PC and the games list is phenomenal. While the series x definitely has more power, the series S is more financially viable for people who want to play premium games on a budget.

    Great deal for the Holiday! Being a TotalTech member and the low price made BestBuy the only place that made sense to by this from. Super fast, quiet, doesn’t operate as hot as the Xbox One, very satisfied with purchase.

    Wow, this thing is smaller than an Xbox One S. I'm very surprised by the size and the capability of this system. Overall it works great and the only downside is that you can't play blue rays or any disc. The Microsoft store does have a lot of affordable content and is worth it considering the price.

    bought this for a separate room while i have the series x in the main room. the small storage space is a bummer if you don’t have an external storage drive or the seagate SSD. other than that it handles games pretty much the same as the series x depending on the tv you use

    Sold my series x when I bought my pc. There still a few titles I’d like to play on my Xbox that weren’t cross platform. I Decided to buy this and was impressed how good it look compared to the series x not that big of difference in my opinion.

    Lucky to get a Series S

    I was lucky enough to get the Series S before Christmas for my 11 year old son. He is quite happy with it. I was a little nervous about the lack of a disk drive, but it has been a non-issue. He uses the Ultimate Game Pass and uses the console as a way to play online. So far, it has been a big hit.

    Great but games are over priced.

    The device itself performs great and games look amazing on a 4k 60hz TV. The drop of a star is because games for this device are overpriced. The game I wanted, Watch Dog Legions is $59.99 digital versus $17 for the disk (at this moment). Not being able to resale the game and not wasting physical material including shipping cost should reflect in a digital product for games. This really lowers the value of the device as 4 discounted disk games make the difference between this and the Series X.

    You know what they say...happy son happy life. Our previous gen Xbox broke it was 2 years out of warranty so fixing it was not an option. So happy the old one broke because the new GEN is so much better. Graphics are out of this world. Processor is so much quicker. LUV IT.

    Didnt think yhe digital would be as good as the X but its pretty good. Not all games are found w the xbox game pass that I'd like to have. I do love that the graphics are brighter. I wish it came w more storage though.

    Awesome if you want to go all digital especially with the Xbox app that allows you to stream all your games on your android phone and soon iPhones as well. No more Clutter of gang boxes or where are you going to store all those CDs swapping and changing games it’s so simple best decision I ever made
