These photos are really starting to crop up now! We've been treated to a couple of warehouse shots of the Xbox Series X retail box in recent days, and now the packaging for the Xbox Series S has also appeared.
As you can see, the photo gives us a better idea of the size of the box, including its depth:
To no surprise, it's certainly far less bulky than the Xbox Series X packaging, and fits with the portable theme of the Series S. We can't really read much else into this, but we're certainly fans of the design!
If you've been successful at pre-ordering one, you'll be able to get your hands on the Xbox Series S (and Xbox Series X) in less than three weeks on November 10th, with more stock also set to be available on launch day.
What do you think of the packaging? Is it eye-catching enough? Give us your thoughts below.

Wait, so the S is an all digital system but only has 512GB (well after OS and everything it’s more like 360 ish) so you’re gonna need to buy one of the expensive SSDs to install more than 5 games, not including day 1 updates
@WesEds games apperently load 30% smaller on the S beacuse they only load the necessary assets, doesn't support 4K. But yeah you will have to delete games or move them to a HDD external drive. This was know since it was announced however so surprised you're just finding this out.
@WesEds
It's a budget console aimed at the more casual COD/Fortnite/FIFA/Madden crowd.
You can't have it both ways unfortunately.
@WesEds There's no difference between an all-digital console and one with optical disc in terms of used memory per game. Everything is installed on the SSD in all of the new Xbox and Playstation consoles. So if you buy a game that is 100 gb as a digital download, you need 100 gb free space on your SSD even if you buy a disc copy.
@Krzzystuff I’m just surprised at how little space is on there. It’s the equivalent of the arcade 360. I haven’t really been following up on much info because I never go in on the first revision of a games console as I’ve had bad experiences in the past (especially with Xbox one) if I do get one it will be when they fix any issues from this one, plus I’ve only just recently picked up a new One X for a decent 150.
I wonder if it supports satrad, or if it's AM/FM only? Hopefully there's an external ANT jack.
@WesEds sound strategy. I got an X cuz I'm still rocking a PS3 and decided to jump into the next gen. Microsoft did say that more 3rd parties will be making the expandable storage so price will drop eventually,just the cost of SSD at the moment. Also talk going around that the SSD is replaceable in the Xbox machine's vs integrated on the PS5 so you might be able to upgrade down the line. In good with the 1TB for a while, might expand once prices drop in general and then look fir a sale.
@AJDarkstar generally curious, is the PS5 the older tech or did they both go with PCle 4 because it's the tech they will be using for 7+ year's and future proofed a bit?
I'm not trying to put down the new Xbox consoles, but im curious as to what launch games are going to be available. I'm going to start this gen with a ps5 since at the moment its the more appealing console from a new games perspective. Although I will probably get an Xbox series x in a year or 2. It just doesn't seem like it's going to be a strong launch for the system.
@AJDarkstar did you have a ps4 or did you skip the whole last gen entirely?
@AJDarkstar Nope, didn't end up getting the Xbox one x. I only got the original Xbox one. I didn't see the point of upgrading when it felt like the next generation was right around the corner. Although I was in a similar situation since I had a ps4, and switch too. Which made my Xbox one, my third-string console for this generation. I really liked what I played on it but honestly didn't dedicate to much time to it.
