    I've finally set this up and I have to say, this is better than my old PC tower for gaming and even better than my Xbox 360. I can play lots of my older titles on here and it doesn't require a lot of space.

    This item caught me off guard as you wouldn’t expect anything from it in terms of performance and power due to its size but I was totally wrong! This console has the power and performance to keep up with the best of them!

      Hey there,

      The optimized computing power and near-instant load times of your new Xbox Series S Console are some of its shining attributes. We know the pains of slow loading screens and delayed gameplay due to system metrics, and couldn't be happier to know they are a thing of the past thanks to your new setup. We're happy you are pleased with its performance! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We appreciate your feedback!

      Happy Gaming,
      Brad - Xbox Customer Care Microsoft

    I really wanted to be able to play some of the Gamepass games that I wasn't able to on my PC. This more than adequately does the trick. I know it's not 4K, but it looks great on my 1440P monitors. Very happy.

    Fast, compact next-gen gaming if you don't need 4k The X-Box Series S is a slick, fast little machine that is a great entry point for next-gen gaming. If you pair it with Microsoft Game Pass you won't even need to buy any games to get started - or - EVER really. It's not for everybody and hardcore gamers will want to wait for either an Xbox Series X or a PS5. WHO THIS IS FOR - * People who want to get in on next gen gaming without breaking the bank. * PS5 owners who want to play Microsoft exclusives or have access to Microsoft game pass. It's a perfect "game pass machine." * People who don't own or don't really care to own, a 4k UHD TV. * People who don't put a priority on having top of the line performance - i.e. non-competitive gamers, kids, etc. * People who don't need physical media for games / entertainment. WHO THIS IS NOT FOR - * Hard core gamers who want to take advantage of all the bells and whistles that the most powerful next-gen consoles have to offer (i.e. Series X & PS5) * People who want to game in full 4k @ 120 hz / 120 fps. The Series S maxes out at 1440p. * People with a large library of Xbox / 360 / Xbox One physical games and / or DVDs. The Series S is digital only. The jury is still out on how future proof the Series S will be once developers start really taking advantage of the Series X's horsepower. But for now, and honestly - I upgraded to a Series X - the differences are negligible.

    So happy with this console. I would recommend to a friend. If you turn on notifications for the Best Buy app, you can get notified when they restock quicker. I would say this is a perfect office console.

    I bought this for the Microsoft Flight Simulator Game. I like that it comes in an all-white scheme that matches the Sony PS5. it runs a little HOT when playing. So make sure it has plenty of ventilation.
