I ordered the Xbox Series S on Dec 15th thinking I would not get it until after Christmas. Details of the order said it would arrive by January 9th. I was bummed but understood the limited supply and it was a last-minute purchase. To my surprise, it showed up on Dec 20, and now my son will get an Xbox on Xmas morning and not a picture of it saying, "coming soon" :). Thank you, Walmart! Also, I have been impressed with the ease of the online purchase process and experience.

The unit is really compact, which is good, but it gets hotter quicker. Since the system does not allow the insertion of discs (games), you would need to either purchase a game pass or transfer your collection from another gaming system. Be prepared to need a huge storage space, to handle your library of games, though.

I managed to find this on Walmart.com and check it out. This console is not too much different from the Xbox One. It’s basically that console except some games are optimized for the Series X/S. My one complaint is the low system storage space which will get annoying as more Serjes games come out. An external hard drive can be plugged on, but series games loaded from it won’t be optimized from what I heard. Besides that, this is right up your alley if you’re an Xbox fan. But if you’re more into PlayStation, wait patiently for a PS5. 7/10

This Xbox is a great console. I dont do any major gaming so this console was the best for me, especially for the price. This Xbox runs and performs way better than my one s so this was a major upgrade to me. Would definitely recommend this console for anyone

The best thing about the Series S is that you can get into next gen gaming without having to have a giant eye sore in your living room. No, its not as powerful as the Series X (or even the PS5) but right now the differences are minor enough that it will be good for a few years - just keep in mind that as next gen games are developed the Series S will get left behind - storage size, downloading time, resolution, refresh rates, etc. The Series S is more of a console to have in the living room and play with Game Pass with older games - it will work on the games coming out, but I don't see it as a "long term" console you'll still have in 4 or 5 years.

I bought the Xbox Series S out of frustration for not being able to find a PS5, the xbox exceeded all expectations! it's an excellent console with excellent services, my only complaint? Hard drive space, but the expansion port to expand on that is a little pricy but still a worthwhile additional buy.

I upgraded from an original Xbox One and this has far exceeded my expectations! If you’re looking for next gen and don’t want to spend big $$ on an Xbox Series X then this is your answer. The only downside would be the storage but that shouldn’t hold you back on this console.

This Xbox One is phenomenal. It works perfectly. It loads quickly depending on your WiFi speeds. The only downside is the internal memory could be a bit more so you can DL and store more games without having to go out and spend $180 on external memory.

First, let me give you a little background: I've had PlayStations since PS1 and I'm not familiar with Xbox consoles. Currently, I own a PlayStation 5 and I'm happy with it. However, I wanted to explore Xbox exclusives and play some old games from all Xbox generations. I considered purchasing the Series X but they're out of stock at this moment (02/21/2022). Same for the PS5, which I had to follow some Twitter profiles to score one...I don't want to do that again. Then, it led me to purchase the Series S, which I give my review below. Controller: If you already own an Xbox, the controller will be virtually the same. If you own a PS4/5, expect a lighter controller, which feels more like a "toy", but very comfortable, responsive, and with the left stick in a more appropriate place. Graphics: Definitely new generation graphs! Although it natively runs at 1440p, it scales to 4k very well. Microsoft Flight Simulator is an incredible game with marvelous graphs. Impressive. Performance: It surprisingly runs smoothly in major AAA titles, such as Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, and Gears 5. Games: The exclusives are great (Forza and Gears, more specifically), but the big difference here is the Game Pass Ultimate. A must. Go buy it. You gain access to a gigantic games library of games from Xbox (first gen.) to current AAA games. Sony is behind on this, no question. CONCLUSION: There are two scenarios in which this console is the best fit for you. 1- you're on a budget and want to enter the new generation of consoles. 2- you actually have the money to purchase the Series X but it's out of stock and you don't want to support scalpers. In both cases, go for it. You'll not be disappointed. The only scenario that the Series S is not for you is that you want the best performance you can get from a console in 2022. In this case, you'll have to make a big effort to find a PS5 or a Series X for the proper retail price (please, don't buy from scalpers, save yourself some money, and don't support this unethical market).

It has that “next gen” feel to it but being limited to 500GB unless you pay an extra $200 is a con, also it’s digital only so no movies or disc games, if you really want the most of your Xbox just wait for the restock of the series x, overall it’s a good console though
