    It’s very fast and affordable and I can play all my Xbox one games on it as well. I recommend it for people who don’t want to spend a bunch of money

    Good console, I wish the controller was rechargable but other than that, no complaints. I liked Xbox live, it is easier than the PS store in some ways. I appreciate that they offer many more games on Xbox GamePass. I would buy an xbox again. I prefer the digital/no disc model.

    My og xbox one was slowing down so I picked this system up. Mostly because series X wasnt available. I do enjoy this S though because its much faster than my og.. Only downside I notice is of course the storage space. Both my external hds work seemlessly.

    Very nice console if you aren’t really too keen on playing on a true 4K TV or monitor & do not play a lot of games...key word, not a lot of games, as this console only has 512 GB of internal storage. I only play NBA 2k and Call of Duty and it is perfect. I play on a 1440P monitor and it is beautiful and crisp. Only thing I do recommend is buying the storage expansion card because you will eventually run out of storage if you play more games than I do. I bought the expansion card just to be safe. Overall, very satisfied with the Xbox Series S next generation console.

    Great next gen power in a small form factor. It can play next gen games with ease. Don’t expect crazy 4K gaming but 1440p looks great in its own merit.

    Runs faster than old gen. It is annoying that it does not have discs so I can' t use my old games, and have to repurchase them. Pins on HDMI bent when cable pulled out.

    This little machine is a powerhouse! Despite the description saying it is not a 4K machine, it will run 4K on streaming apps and simple games like Ori. My girlfriend uses the Series S while I use the Series X. We both load into lobbies at the EXACT same time on games like Hunt: showdown and Call of Duty. The Series S loads and games just as fast as the Series X. I wear glasses and honestly I cant notice the difference between the two consoles when playing any game. Kinda wish I didn't spend so much on the Series X and just got two of these.

    I was apprehensive at first with this purchase but was immediately put at ease. This is great for those of us who skipped the xb1 generation and want the next gen experience while we wait patiently for the series X to finally become available. AAA titles look fantastic with this( but keep in mind it’s still nowhere close to the series x) the modern features like NVME storage are a warm welcome as well. If you’re wanting next gen experiences without the scalper premium then I would suggest this hands down!
