    I'm a PS fan, but. I'm loving this Xbox Series-S. Graphics look super good. Everything moves fast including the menu, loading times. The controller responds very quickly to input, zero lag. It's definitely better than my ps4 pro. My expectations were exceeded!

    Next gen gaming at a fair price! Wish Microsoft can produce more and be available for the upcoming holidays. Wish it had a bigger hard drive 500gb just isn’t enough since this is an all digital version so all games have to be on the hard drive.

    Never thought I’d be ok with a disc-less gaming console but it’s perfect! Small size fits perfect in where I put it, easy to use and has great quality.

    I watch youtube vids on this console and still couldn’t believe how small it was in person. Amazing. Fir perspective it’s half the size of xbox one s. More power, hardly any loading times and this is actually in stock.

    Xbox offers an incredible gaming experience with its powerful hardware and amazing graphics. Whether you're into thrilling shooters, immersive RPGs, or friendly multiplayer games, the Xbox has something for everyone. Not to mention, it also serves as a complete entertainment hub, allowing you to stream movies, TV shows, and even play music. The controller feels comfortable in your hands, and the online gaming community is buzzing with excitement. Trust me, once you get your hands on an Xbox, you'll be in gaming heaven!

    My oldest son didn't want the console at first but he's really enjoying it. Best part is I don't have to worry about disk being missing or scratched up, also can't beat the price. If you don't already own a xbox and not so it's attached to a disk drive this is your best option the disk drive is the only big difference between the two anyway

    Perfect little xbox with some solid speed due to the SSD. I have recommended this to all my friends that dont wanna break the bank. Only problem is smaller storage, but the way i see it is "You cant play more than one game at a time".

    Awesome machine, the only problem I have with the new series s/x is the game storage. For the series s the storage is nothing. They are kinda forcing you to get the 200 dollar ssd storage expansion. The machine runs nicely and smoothly and if it weren’t for the storage I would give this a 5 star. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE, GAMES WONT WORK UNLESS ITS MOVED INTO THE XBOX SERIES S’ STORAGE.

    Xbox Series S

    I will give a few quick cons then a pro. Cons: 1. Storage space. Period. Large next gen games, expect to only have 3 or 4 games installed at a time. The usable amount is not the 500gb. It was more around 400 I believe. The games are so large on next gen consoles and can easily fill up. 2. The system is good and next gen, however it is not a huge leap over the Xbox One X (In my opinion). At the price you are paying, the extra $200 for the Series X is literally a huge difference maker and I believe you would be better off trying to obtain one over this. I think it should be cheaper because the gap between the consoles is very significant. Pro: Ray tracing. This is what the Xbox One X did not have and will be the most noticable thing from the jump to the Series S. It is beautiful, however runs better on the Series X. Again, my opinion. Overview: All in all, I wish I would have bought two Series X consoles over one each. The Series X has a 1Tb SSD and the useable space is up in the 800s gb. So there is more potential there. I would only buy this console if it were for a younger child who can't tell the difference in gaming and you wanted to get them on the next gen systems, but don't be surprised when they complain about harddrive space.

    Great console, was lucky enough to find one a few months back and have no complaints at all. It’s fast and the graphics are amazing on this thing. I also love the new resume feature, saves time from having to start up the game all over again.

    Don't let people tell you otherwise, this is an amazing little piece of hardware. I already had a Xbox Series X and I wanted to add this one to my upstairs loft and it does not disappoint. Fast load times, 1440p resolution and 60fps are all possible with this console. I have my older games on an external drive so there is plenty of storage. For games that take advantage of the advanced features this console is capable of, I have installed on the internal storage. I already have the Segate 1TB expansion for my Series X and if there is a game I want to play upstairs, I simply plug it in to the Series S and away I go. The value to cost makes this console a must have!

    Decided to upgrade to a new Xbox after having the OG One for five years. Had hoped to pick up a Series X, but figured a digital only box would work. Speed is fast and graphics look good. Enjoying the next gen features.

    Excellent if you have unlimited internet plan and can redownload whatever games you want to play at the moment since the hard drive is small, but it’s fast, and looks decent, however I’d recommend the series X instead and the 1tb expandable memory.

    The Xbox Series S is a great addition to the Xbox ecosystem. Super fast in general and small to fit any desk setup. Not to mention Xbox Game Pass is one of the best subscription services out there!

    This is well worth the money. A lot of earlier reviews said just wait and buy a series x, but I don’t agree. Graphics are great and it’s perfect as a Games Pass machine. Still prefer PS5, but this was only $300. Definitely worth purchasing
