Delayed delivery
The item was as it should be however it out a damper on my surprise for my daughter's sweet 16 surprise because on the app is was supposed to be here in two days but ended up being delayed and arriving a week later. Was disappointed in there delivery service, I couldn't just requested for delivery to store and pick up
Bought it back!!! DONT SLEEP ON SERIES S
I was fortunate enough to acquire a Series S and PS5 from Target and Amazon at launch in November '20. I sold the Series S because I was trying so much to get used to the PSN Interface and I just couldn't. I regret selling the Series S and now I just scored one on Walmart. I can't wait for it to arrive and it be apart of my "120fps Gaming Station" once again. Don't Sleep on the S if you have a 1080p 120hz monitor, I have a 2 yr old monitor and it's capable of 120hz at 1080p!! If your asking what console you should get? Whichever one your more used to, have the most active friends list, achievements vs trophies, game pass vs ps now, etc. Those will help you decide, game on!!
Hi Justin--Thanks for the great advice! We're sorry you gave up your Xbox Series S so soon, but glad to hear that a new one is on the way. We hope you have a lot of fun with it. -Chuck, Xbox Customer Care
Honestly I like it more then I thought
I honestly like the series s but if there was one thing I could change I would change the storage space because games that are optimized for the series s / X have to be installed on the internal storage so if you have a hard drive that you want to use for external use then the games that are optimized for Series S / X can only be installed on the internal storage but aside from that if you have a Xbox one it is still a great upgrade so far all the games that I ran on the Xbox was really smooth
Small, but packs a punch!
This is my very first Xbox console and I have to say, I’m impressed. The quick start feature is very useful for switching from game to game almost instantly. It also runs games at 120 FPS if it is optimized for it. Where it lacks some power is in the storage compartment as you are limited to 512 GB. If you are planning to play many of the new next generation games coming out next year then you will find yourself running out of space quite frequently. Also you lose the ability to game in 4K and obviously the blu-ray disc drive. But for $300 this little machine is a beast and definitely one for the books. In the end, I would recommend this Xbox for a budget friendly entry point to the next gen gaming universe.
Buy a series X please
The one series s is 100 cheaper than a bare X why not just spend it then you get the real experience... Unless you have a older Tv then you need one of those too lol (8k) I'm going to wait for another week or so for the black friday bundle a get the Series x with 2 Sticks 2 headsets and 2 games a 4tb SD and hopefully a 3m gamerpass for my son it's going to cost about $850 but the HD is 200 so you tell me what is the better choice 399 half of the said extras or 650-700 for the bundle plus HD which he actually already has a 2tb on his oneS probably compatible so 599 bundle up charge is about 770otd and everything that S series will never be because of the processor and I rest my case
finally
By granted I just purchased this gift for my husband today for our upcoming anniversary thats coming up. I’ve looked high and low and finally was able to get one that isn’t be sold for higher or completely out of stock. He’s going to be thrilled to the Max!!
Superb system
This is a superb system, even for budget-conscious gamers with 4K TVs. While it doesnt render the games natively in 4K, it WILL up convert the games to 4K resolution, if desired. If you have a 1080p TV, games look great, with many offering 60fps and full HD resolution. If youre looking for a way to upgrade your existing Xbox One S, or would like to take advantage of Xbox game pass, the system is the perfect way to get into the next generation of gaming without dropping a huge amount of money. As for direct comparisons with Series X, consider this. Dirt 5 runs at full HD on HDTVs, or 1440p and 120fps on gaming monitors on Series S. On Series X, Dirt 5 runs in 2160p at 60fps (with 120fps available on compatible displays). Call of Duty Cold War runs very similarly on both S and X, but with slightly more realistic shadows on Series X at a higher resolution. In gameplay, however, the difference is difficult to see unless youre looking for it directly, and when unconverted to 4K, the difference is even less noticeable - sure the textures are ever-so-slightly less detailed, but not in a bad way. You will also get the exact same game loading speed as Series X, but at a lower price point. Basically, if you were happy with the One S, you will find that the Series S is a huge upgrade and well worth the investment.
Very good system
Great System but a bit low on the memory storage. Recommend buying an external storage that is compatible with the system (which there is a 4TB one) and the 1TB internal storage for the games that are picky and won't work from the external hard drive which are mostly newer games and games upgraded to the x/s version for enhanced game play. If I'm wrong about some of the information I apologize but that's what I've found out while using this system. I think this issue also relates to the Series X as well although Series X comes with 1TB memory soo if you upgrade to the series X later on and already have the 1TB internal memory card/hard drive/whatever you want to call it then you just insert that into the system in the back and you have 2TB of memory right at start which is pretty good for any game to play from that's on the xbox.
It’s Too Good
I have had this console for a while and I’m just in love with it. I have nothing really negative to say at all about it, expect that I do wish it had more storage space. But other than that (which really isn’t a HUGE imposition) I’m enjoying it. I love the white, minimalistic design. I love Gamepass. I had considered the PS5 this generation because I’m usually only an Xbox gamer and thought I’d give PlayStation a try. Now though, I’m just too happy with my Series S to even care about the PS5. Maybe in time I might upgrade to the Series X, but for this price it’s just an incredible deal. Anyone complaining about this must’ve gotten a faulty product. If you have the chance to grab one of these things...DO IT!
Hi Eboni -- It's wonderful to hear that you love your new Xbox Series S. We're glad that you're enjoying its compact design and the convenience and selection of Xbox Game Pass. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. The next best thing is to connect an external hard drive. While games optimized for Xbox Series S must be played from its internal SSD, older games that haven't been enhanced may be played directly from an external drive. Hope that helps! -Chuck, Xbox Customer Care
An awesome little Beast
This is absolutely amazing, the best value for money you can ever get. I have a 4K TV which supports 60 Hz and I was amazed to see how beautiful games like Battlefield 5, Halo 5, Destiny 2 and The Medium look on this console. Even if I set 1080p as the max resolution in the XBox settings, it is just beautiful, could not have asked for anything more. I was able to install 14 games and I still have 20gb of storage left. I played games and watched movies on this system for 7 hours continuously today and it did not make even a little bit of noise, it did not get hot or anything. It is just amazing, the best console you could ever buy, that too at $300.
Hi there -- We're delighted that you've had a chance to see how great games look and play on Xbox Series S. It's great to hear that you've found it to be an amazing value, too. Thank you for sharing your experience; we hope you have a lot of fun with your new console. -Chuck, Xbox Customer Care
