    Xbox series S came in relatively quick on the first round of pre-orders. I can only review based off of Best Buy’s service because I sold it the moment I received it! 5/5 would do it again!

    Perfect for what I need. I play video games occasionally when I have time and like to bring it with me when I go places sometimes. With it being so lightweight it’s easy to being with me.

    Found online and was able to pick up from my local store. Was able to walk in and go directly to the counter and did not have to wait at all for anyone to assist. My order had already been pulled and the gentleman went over all the warranty options and finished up and was out in less than 15 minutes.

    Only downside is the internal storage. 500 gigs is really 380. So if you download a game like call of duty (close to 200 gigs). Plus all the updates. You will not have room for another big game. The external that is sold for this system is a total rip off at 200.

    Great console & you can play remotely on your phone or from your TV to another room! PS5 can't even do that which is why i ended up going with XBOX

    I am coming from the Xbox one s. I have a ps4 pro, and a switch as well. The graphics aren’t enough of an upgrade at this price point, and coming from a previous gen console with 1 tb of storage that comes with the console, the amount of storage for this device is outrageous. Next gen? Ya, right. When most game are close to 100gb or more to download, you can only fit about 3 games on it. Not worth it. They want you to buy an additional storage card, which will add another $200 to the price tag, which is $499. Unacceptable. I will be returning this immediately. Staying with last gen until they figure out their mistakes and shortcomings. Also, the grip texture on the controller feels terrible, and it feels insanely cheap.

    Not want it was cracked up to be. Price is great. But wait for the S/X will be worth the extra money. I play Destiny and Borderlands both games have problems with jerky play and skips. Hopefully cloud gaming will come to this console. My be the fix it needs.

    I mainly game on PC, so I didn't need the Series X. At $300, plus gamepass, it's great for when I just want to sit back and relax instead of lean in and sweat.

    My son is enjoying the new Xbox. As the one that pays the bills, I’m disappointed that there is a fee to play with others. I’m not a gamer myself, so I don’t claim to understand everything that goes into creating games. Getting a console that then requires a monthly fee to do things he could do on his iPad for free is disappointing.

    Man, not sure how to put this but I am a little disappointed with my purchase. I just dont think the Series S is future proof. It makes me wonder if I should have waited for the Series X or PS5. I wont point the good because I feel there are already so many great reviews which I agree with, BUT, I must let you know what I have encountered. First, I download FIFA 22 and it looked horrible while playing matches. At times it looked like 480p. Seems like it was a problem solely with Series S. Could this be the beginning of a trend? Second, there is a problem with the Y button that I have read upon and unfortunately I encountered. It must be pressed down and does not work well if pressed at an angle. Which means unrecognized presses on competitive games. I like the console but does leaving me doubting if I should have waited. Good Luck!

    This machine is amazing! This is basically an Xbox one X with an SSD. If you are planning on playing a lot of indie games or less intensive games, then this is all you need.
