Great Console and I love it. Upgraded from a ps4 to Xbox series S and have had no regrets since. It is perfect for gaming and streaming media. With the 1TB storage you are not limited on your game library where you would need to get external storage. The upload/download speeds on same WiFi out perform last gen significantly. The size is perfect for making it portable. I find that great for hooking it up to my monitor for gaming (FPS and RPGs) while easily moving it around the house to our TV for streaming shows/movies with the family. Easily portable when traveling so I can bring virtually anywhere. If looking for great system that is at the right price point, Xbox series S is great.

A Game-Changer for Digital-First Gamers: Xbox Seri

From the moment I unboxed the sleek, black Xbox Series S, I knew I was in for a treat. Microsoft has truly outdone itself with this all-digital, disc-free console, catering to a generation that prefers the convenience of digital downloads over traditional physical discs. Here's why the Xbox Series S is not just a console but a revolution in my gaming experience.
Design and Setup
The compact design of the Series S is a breath of fresh air. Its minimalist, matte black finish fits perfectly in my entertainment center, complementing my setup rather than overpowering it. Setting up was a breeze; I navigated the user-friendly interface within minutes, ready to dive into my digital library.
Performance and Gaming Experience
But it's not just the aesthetics that impressed me. The performance of the Xbox Series S is nothing short of spectacular. Games load in the blink of an eye, thanks to the custom SSD at the console's heart. The seamless transitions and quick resume feature mean I can switch between titles effortlessly, keeping me in action without the dreaded load times.
The digital-only aspect might deter some, but it's a game-changer for me. The 1TB storage ensures I have plenty of space for my growing library of games, and the convenience of downloading games directly to the console cannot be overstated. Plus, with Xbox Game Pass, I can access many titles at my fingertips, from blockbuster hits to indie gems.
Graphics and Sound
The Xbox Series S might be the smaller sibling in the Series line-up, but it packs a punch in the graphics department. Games look stunning, with crisp, vibrant visuals that bring virtual worlds to life. While it targets 1440p resolution rather than complete 4K, I'm consistently impressed by how good everything looks on my 1080p TV. The sound is equally impressive, with spatial audio that immerses me in the gaming experience, whether exploring distant galaxies or sprinting through a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Value and Ecosystem
Perhaps the Xbox Series S's most compelling aspect is its value. It's an affordable entry point into next-gen gaming without sacrificing performance or features. With its cross-compatibility between consoles and PC, Xbox Live, and Game Pass, the Xbox ecosystem makes it an unbeatable deal. I feel truly integrated into a community of gamers with endless possibilities for multiplayer adventures and discoveries.
Final Thoughts
The Xbox Series S has redefined my gaming experience. It's not just a console; it's a gateway to a world of digital entertainment that prioritizes convenience, performance, and value. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the scene, the Xbox Series S is a brilliant choice that promises to bring joy and excitement into your home. It has undoubtedly won a permanent spot in my living room, and I can't wait to see where this digital gaming journey takes me next.

X Box S Series, awesome console gaming

I’ve been using the Xbox Series S 1TB for a few months now, and I have to say—this console is a beast when it comes to online gaming. Whether I’m teaming up with friends in Call of Duty, battling it out in Fortnite, or racing online in Forza Horizon 5, the experience is smooth, responsive, and consistently impressive.
Load times are quick thanks to the SSD, and games look fantastic even without native 4K—perfect balance of performance and value. Most importantly, the connection stability is rock solid. With a good internet connection, lag is nearly non-existent. Xbox Live and Game Pass Ultimate make it super easy to access a massive library of multiplayer titles, and the matchmaking process is fast and efficient.
Also, the 1TB storage is a huge improvement over the 512GB version—it gives me enough room for several large games without constantly juggling installs.
If you’re looking for a compact, affordable console that handles online multiplayer like a champ, the Xbox Series S 1TB delivers big-time.

If you’re on a budget. I highly recommend the Series S, it’s really small which makes it easy to move around and easy to put into carry on bags if you travel a lot or want to take the console over your friends or a family member’s house. The console also plays games pretty great. Don’t expect a consistent 4k image, but just know games still look great on it. Also Xbox game pass is a plus if you want a service that is essentially Netflix for video games!

Very nice and extremely quiet. Have had no issues. Attached my external HDD and it has a roughly just under 900 GB of SSD (the other 100+ is operating system) Loading is quick and hooking up to a tv/monitor is very simple. The 1 TB is why i bought an additional system. I already own a White sS and a sX. Would suggest anyone looking next Gen. Go Xbox. You will save in the long run.

Comes with a brand new controller I still have the original controller that came with this and still works amazing no stick drift even after years of use.
Xbox itself hasn't slowed down a bit couple years old and still loads games in a couple seconds amazing graphics and not a single bit of slow FPS

The new Black Xbox series S is the best purchase I've made in recent memory. I bought it for my girlfriend to play while I play my gaming laptop and it's literally been in use for 8 hours+ per day for over a month without a peep of errors, flaws, or complaint. The new Velocity architecture is noticeable in the sheer speed and beautiful 120 fps picture. Best bang for your buck by far!!

Great console for media consumption but, also good for gaming with a decent amount of storage. The Series S isn’t at powerful as a Series X but the system run smoothly with sharp graphics. The controller is very responsive and intuitive. XBOX users should take advantage of Ultimate subscription to have access to more than 100 games to play anywhere. The system is an ease to navigate through it. In general good console but the extra storage doesn’t justify the price tag.

Great console for a really cheap price. I couldn't afford a series X, and so this was the next best option. Love the 1TB instead of 500gb. Makes downloading all the games i want on the gamepass much easier.
