    This is a great little console the presentation isn’t much different from the one but being able to play the new games and the old ones at a good frame rate is nice. the only downside I can see is the lack of base space to play the series s/x games those need ssd so any external hard drive won’t work only the 220$ memory card Xbox sells can give you more space and with cod or 2k being over 100gb a piece. your gonna need the extra space

      Hey Benjamin,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. As you mention, the best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console.

      Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.

      We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    It's truly a next gen system! Don't sweat getting a series X if you cant find it and this is available. I was not impressed until I played a few games on my One X, now I don't want to play my "older" xbox. I am still waiting for a series X for my living room.

    It is an xbox not much to review downloads just fine through ethernet but has CD drive causing you to pay full price almost all the time since you can't get used games

    I bought because it’s the easiest console to get at the moment. I do enjoy the setup seeing as how I haven’t owned an Xbox since Xbox 360. I do enjoy it cause it’s small and if I want to take it somewhere I wouldn’t have a problem carrying it around. The only complaint I really have is, after you install the updates you’re only left with like 392gb outta 512. I did end up purchasing the seagate external 1TB though. But nonetheless I enjoy it

    It’s just what you need if you’re a casual gamer like myself. With the size of games today a little storage management is required, but not a deal breaker.

    The product is great!! I was just taken by surprise that you wanted to charge me 11 cents for a bag when I spent over $1,000 dollars on my last purchase. Not sure I will ever forget that one.

    Good game system for the average user, but based on Microsoft, kind of sounds like they are going to take your money and throw it away by coming up with a new generation above the series x/s.

    #GeekyTechyCool Worth every penny, truly a next gen experience in a small package. Even more worth it with All Access since I can remove the games I don't have time for and just download them again from the ever growing library Microsoft has.

    I can’t see a reason anyone would pay for a Series X. For most people this is plenty fast enough. My only complaint is that to expand the memory you must buy a special card that cost $200. Games will not play from simply an external hard drive.
