Xbox Series S

--- Title: Incredible Value for Next-Gen Gaming! I’ve had the Xbox Series S for a few months now, and I’m really impressed. This console may be the "little brother" of the Series X, but don’t let that fool you—it packs a serious punch. What I Love: Compact and Quiet: It’s super small and fits easily into my setup. It runs whisper-quiet too, even during intense games. Fast Load Times: Thanks to the SSD, everything loads quickly. No more waiting forever to start a game! Game Pass is a Game Changer: With Xbox Game Pass, I get access to tons of games for a low monthly fee. It’s perfect if you like trying new titles without breaking the bank. Great Performance: Most games run at 60fps and look great, even if it’s not native 4K. Perfect for 1080p or 1440p gaming. What Could Be Better: Storage is Tight: The 512GB internal storage fills up fast. If you play big games like Call of Duty or Halo, you’ll probably need an expansion card. No Disc Drive: It’s all-digital, so if you have physical games or movies, this isn’t the console for you. Final Thoughts: If you're looking for a next-gen console at a great price, the Xbox Series S is a fantastic choice. It’s especially great for casual gamers, kids, or anyone who’s already invested in digital gaming. Highly recommend! Rating: 5/5

I’ve been using the Xbox Series S for a few months now, and it’s hands-down one of the best value consoles on the market. Don’t let the size fool you this little box packs serious punch. Load times are lightning-fast thanks to the SSD, and games look stunning in 1440p with smooth frame rates. It’s perfect for casual and competitive gamers alike. Setup was a breeze, and the interface is intuitive. Game Pass integration is a game-changer hundreds of titles at your fingertips, including day-one releases. I also love how quiet it runs, even during intense sessions. Storage can fill up quickly, so I recommend pairing it with an expansion card if you’re a heavy gamer. Whether you’re upgrading from an older Xbox or diving into console gaming for the first time, the Series S delivers next-gen performance without breaking the bank. Sleek, silent, and seriously fun.

This is a great console. It's obviously not as powerful as the Series X, but it doesn't need to be. The size is amazing, and can fit in any space, and plays every game available digitally on Xbox very well. I have a gaming PC so having this as a secondary device is a godsend. My partner also likes it as she can use it as a smart TV box for our dumb 1080p TV - it works with Plex, Prime Video, Netflix and so on. The SSD is fast, with the system booting to the dashboard before my Logitech Harmony even fires up my TV and soundbar and sets them to the right inputs. Apps and games load very quickly, and for games Quick Resume is amazing. At 1080p, the graphics look great. Some backwards compatible games aren't improved from the One S configuration (yet), but any game optimised for Series S|X loads quickly, looks amazing and has a higher framerate than the last-gen versions. If you have a PS4 or a One S, aren't interested in 4K and want a cheap upgrade to play Cyberpunk at an acceptable performance, you can't go wrong with this system. Chances are, if you know the Xbox Series S isn't for you, you won't be reading this review. But if you're on the fence between this and a more expensive console you may want to think if the following applies to you: If you have Game Pass and another system (like a PC or PS5) and want to play some legacy Xbox games and whatever MS is providing via Game Pass, this is an awesome system. If you've got a spare room with a TV and you want an affordable games console to go in there, Xbox Series S is the way forward. If all you want is an affordable way to play next-gen games for the foreseeable future, this is the console for you. It's also great for kids who want to play Roblox, Fortnite and Minecraft and not much else. It'll be a big improvement on the Xbox Series S - just be mindful that if they have disc-based games they won't be playable on the Series S. If you've got a 4K TV you probably want an Xbox Series X, PS5 or a good gaming PC, as games on this device will max out at 1080p-1440p. This console also doesn't have a disc drive so all your games and multimedia will need to be digital. Take that in mind. There's a lot of good and niche reasons to own this device over a more expensive system - if you fit into one of those niches, £250 is well worth the price.

I put the ninty pad in for scale this thing is compact it will easily fit in a small rucksack for travel to a m8s. This will be a great place to play your gamepass games on rock solid 30fps instead of wavering frame rates and 60fps where an unlocked FPS was used textures look a bit better and where variable Res was used will look sharper as Res will mostly top out with less drops. This gens games even have basic ray tracing reflections and shadows as in watchdog legions looks great. This gen we get a real CPU in the box so the UI is very snappy the s does what the X does but at 1440p or mostly 1080p to 1440p at a variable resolution between the two. Games look great and can run at 120fps a few games can run at 4k 60fps like ori and the touryst 4k is an option for developers. The controller has the most important upgrade you need lower latency when you press the button things on screen happen quicker 👍. You can just plug your usb drives with your games on straight into the s and after set up with the Xbox app on your Android or iPhone they will be recognised and you can play your games from there except for X/s optimised games you can store those there but need to transfer them into internal to play. A 1tb card is available but if you have a usb drive moving games over is pretty fast especially via ssd. The internal nvme is fast!! This is a lovely little console can't understand the negative attitude towards it a 5500 Ryzen 3700 rig for 249.99 well that's a terrible deal duh. Other notable additions are a superior d pad with a clicky 8 way action and auto HDR making colours pop on games without native HDR even 360 and og Xbox one's quick resume lets you keep 3 or 4 games juggling at once you can quickly switch between them🤹 all round winner for the money. Man from the future says this after some time with it is turning into a fantastic deal just playing state of decay 2 it was unplayable on the one X okay it looked a bit better but it still looks great but the performance is the kicker it's smooth as hell. Performance is king I can see this turning into a way to play many of the games I abandoned on the one due to being too badly running at the mo not all games will improve this much I know games with unlocked FPS will be the main beneficiaries but I'm sure the back cat team will step in. Decided I won't bother with ps5 and X 3080 2tb gen4 pcie 1kpsu for me full on real ray tracing this will be my console going forward this puppy is what consoles used to be compact efficient simple with some of pcs best features blended in like magic my favourite console hardware since the GameCube🎮🎮👍omg pay 20 some odd quid and you can get dev mode on this and run emulators see modern vintage gamer on toob for details I think you can develop games with the software in this mode👌

Such a good console and so small compared to its big brother the Series X and even the previous One and One X. AND THE PRICE! My Lord, the price is a steal! Whisper quiet even on performance-heavy games, don’t really notice the lack of native 4K nor the lack of a disc drive. The speed is incredible. For reference it could take over a minute to load a Halo level on the OG Xbox and even the 360, and this thing can do a remastered 1080p 60FPS version in 3-4 seconds. Quick-resume is also a fantastic feature, allowing you to skip all those menus and logos when firing up a game you play a lot, even from a just-plugged-in state! It was sort of done on the Xbox One but it really marks itself as a genuine feature here. One gripe is the lack of internal memory at under 400GB, though that kind of thing is expected for the price. You can use external HDDs and SSDs with it BUT you can only play older games off of them, any games that are labelled ‘Optimised for Series S/X’ can be stored on such drives but can ONLY be run off the internal memory or on the official Seagate expansion drive which has its own proprietary port on the back of the console (and which at the moment costs about the difference between this and the Series X, so bare that in mind if you’re weighing up the two). Beyond having S/X specific upgrades though, even now there are pretty much no exclusive games, which is a drawback but one I’m confident MS are going to fix in the near future. It’s something to think about if you’re looking to upgrade from a One though. One thing I will say is that I think this is designed to be more of a Games Pass machine. Something to store a few games on while you’re playing them and then you delete them to download a bunch of new ones, with a few permanent favourites like Halo or Skyrim. Rather than something to keep your entire back catalogue of games on and only downloading a few new ones here and there when you can shell out £50+. But I think that is the trajectory of the gaming industry generally, moving towards a Netflix model rather than a DVD cabinet one.

I bought this (and MSFS 2024), after considerable research, for my elderly father who used to have MS flight simulator on a PC at least 25 years ago. Although I give the Xbox 5 stars, the setup instructions were next to useless as were the MS help and support pages. Important steps such as how to connect the Xbox to WiFi before attempting to get the Xbox app to link to the Console (via WiFi nearby devices!??) were missing, and reference on the MS help pages to the pressing the X button on the Console (which switches it off!) instead of the three lines button on the Controller (to skip the step) then X on the Controller to access settings button meant I had several hours of frustration before working it out for myself. In addition, if you have never owned an Xbox before, it would be helpful to have a quick printed guide (or QR code link) explaining all the buttons! After hours of going around in circles I finally got it all set up and MSFS installed and my father is very pleased :-)

Got this for my son who was a Ps5 user. He loves it. The running speed is fast, amazing graphics and can actually play the games the console is for, unlike it's competitor. Small in size makes it easier to store. It runs almost completely silent. Only downside is that the controller does need charging alot more often the it's competitor

With this xbox you get exactly what is advertised. The xbox works great and feels smooth. When arriving new it arrives safetly and is easy to set up. However there are a few details I need to explain before buying as they are things I had to externally find out. Before getting make sure your tv/monitors can handle the quality of your xbox otherwise you will not get the 1440p quality and 120fps. As that is linked to the tv. Second the xboxs black circle on top does get very hot when playing Triple A games. Or just games with higher graphics. Generally though this does not affect the consoles running ability and overall the xbox runs smooth even when hot on top as the design allows the rest of the Xbox to stay cool. Which is a very nice touch.

Perfect and as described and the game pass it comes with is the game pass ultimate for 3 months which is an upgrade to the one mentioned in the description , so thanks !

It's more than enough if you're not a big gamer and don't need tons of storage.

Came very quick and quality is excellent
