    We purchased this Xbox a few years ago now. Compared to the Xbox ones there’s a lot less issues. We like the no disc option, and to be able to run TV programs like Netflix and Disney+, which sales it an easy thing to grab to take on vacations so we have all of our shows/movies available. It’s very small and compact, and the cord to this doesn’t have that giant surge protector box.

    Incredible product and I honestly don’t miss the disc drive. Lightning fast and incredible graphics. Easy to set up and I don’t care for 4K as these graphics are incredible enough (plus I don’t want to have to buy a new TV)

    Much better console than I thought. Very fast speed, games run great and look great. Gives you the taste of next gen without hurting the wallet. Only knock is the storage capacity. But can be upgraded with memory cards.

    This console may not be the most powerful, have the biggest storage, or run everything at 4k 120fps. What this console is, a surprisingly powerful entry level next generation console. I bought this to hold me over until I could find a series x, but what happened is I enjoyed it so much that while I still will get a series x I'm not in a hurry anymore. The series s is exactly what you think it is. The smaller weaker little brother to the series x. What you don't expect is a console that performs at this level, this smooth, and a few minutes in you forget it is a series s. I spent a few hours last night playing gears 5 at 120fps on series s. Some games if you choose visual mode even run at 4k. Pleasantly surprised and have no regrets.

    If you are expecting 4K next gen gaming, you’ll need an X. This is my living room console, but my main gaming device is my PC. That said, it’s an incredible value and works perfectly as a media player and casual console.

    Great product, xbox series S I wasn’t willing to spend 500$ on the Series X but it performs just as good for my 1080p games. Great console way better than my Xbox One S and a great value if you can find it at 300$

    If you're not playing on a 4K TV and plan on using Game Pass anyway, there's no reason not to invest in a Series S as it serves wonderfully as a second household console if you plan on getting an X later.
