    Best Buy had this in stock before Christmas. I was leaving the store and noticed a few behind the registers. I asked if they were available and was able to buy for my son. The console is not that big and my son loves it using Xbox Game pass.

    My son loves it and it works perfectly. Added bonus that it does not take up very much room on his desk. We bought it to replace a defective PS5 and I think my son likes it even more than the PS5 because of how easy it is to use.

    Get the series X

    I have this and the series X and everything about the series X is better. This has a tiny SSD. You think you're getting all 512GB? You are actually getting 364 of usable storage. With games averaging between 30-60gb your 364 will go fast. If you are getting any good external hard drive it'll be at least $100 more so now you are at $399. Might as well spend another hundred and get the series X. Also, I quickly learned that I can't go without my disk. Game pass makes this system very usable, however I have to many old games and I just like disks. The only pro I really liked about this was it's footprint. This is the smallest modern gaming console out. It's light weight and very sleek. I just see no logical reason to get this. You don't even need a 4k TV to enjoy the benefits of a series X. I feel like this model will be obsolete before you know it. They'll be releasing something between the S and X in a year or so and people will be selling these for dirt cheap on FB marketplace. I'd highly advise against this model.

    If you don't play a tone load of games and you use a lot of streaming services, the Xbox Series S would be a amazing device to use. Pros: Streams 4K, next gen games, portable, light weight Cons: Limited storage

    Love kicking back at the end of the day and playing games with all my buddies. Load times are a thing of the past with this new Xbox. Only thing that is a pain, is the small usable space on the SSD. Easily fixed by an external SSD. Great system. Great price.

    No disc drive, but no big deal with so much available to just digitally download. Gaming is always better with a SSD. And it takes up less space with it's smaller size.

    It is working like a charm. Slipped it between my two monitors and sometimes I switch between my PC dual display to one monitor. Turn my xbox on to display on my 1080p 240hz monitor and bam! you got the best of both words. Shape and Size is perfect to fit on your desk!
