I approve
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Huge improvement in gameplay load time and graphics over original Xbox one. Definitely worth the 300 it costs, all though I do wish I could’ve got a series x
I would recommend this to a friend Good console.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Small but Mighty
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as powerful as the Series X but still powerful enough to run to next gen games and load super fast. I can't get over how small it is either! Think Wii U small!!!

The next gen!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Though this may not be the series X, this still does what I need it to do. No disc drive, but if you keep everything digital there is no need. Happy with this system.

Nice and small but memory too small
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system is faster then Xbox one x but overall performance is the same. Needs bigger ssd to be worth upgrade from Xbox one x though. Nice and small console only reason I upgrade but needed to buy ssd upgrade card Worth a buy if your digital only or ultimate game pass and you don’t own a Xbox one x

Gamer Heaven

Little S
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Series S when the Series X was in low supply, hoping to upgrade when the X was back in stock. Two years later, I’m completely happy with the smaller, digital only console. I have access to all of the current gen games, and while I may not get all of the bells and whistles, even heavy hitters like Cyberpunk 2077 look great.

The little monster that could
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent little console, the load times are incredible and the size of it would have you not believing its packing as much punch as it is for next gen gaming.

Great next gen console with a great price point
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve have both the PS5 and Series S. They are both great, but the price point the Series S is offered at along with the ability to run games at 1440p 120hz is amazing and a lot more practical than the hdmi 2.1 4k 120hz the series x and ps5 offer at the moment. The game selection for Xbox is also step ahead of playstations, in my opinion, and if you are subscribed to game pass you’ll have a massive selection of games to download free of charge.

Pair with Gamepass!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Xbox Series S great addition to the Xbox family. While it doesn’t have the raw power of the series X, the combination of the $299 price point and gamepass is unbeatable!

Best Xbox overall
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the last Xbox that I got haven’t switched it over 3 to 4 years now. And I see no reason to change anytime soon still works like new and it’s super fast with the Internet and the multiplayer capabilities as well

Great Update!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the speed and the graphics on the new system. I do miss the disc part though I'll get used to it. The unit itself is SMALL, the box is surely misleading.

Outstanding
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was within 250 miles of my BestBuy's location so I was able to order one. I paired this with a 1TB external drive to total the storage to 1.3TB or something close, and I also plugged in an external 512GB SSD for older games in the XBOX / XBOX 360 era. The console is paired with an LG nano85 65" 4K 120 hertz TV and this console runs very well. The response time is great and playing on it is a dream come true. I would definitely recommend this console as long as you know what you are getting. The base system only gives you roughly 384GB of storage to use of the 500GB. You have been warned.
