Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    Love the x/s series. Very quite and runs smooth. Power supply is usually a problem with consoles, so we'll see how this one does.

    I purchased this product for my boyfriend. He did mention that there were some glitches but after updating our internet service no further problems have been noted. He will need to buy more storage since it’s all digital and some games take up a lot of storage. Otherwise, it’s a good buy. (Wish I got the X though)

    Its a good Budget console for game pass older games that are small in memory if you play cod you will need an ssd in total you will stll pay around the same price as the x but will get more memory if you get the samsung 1 tb or a 2tb hdd for the same price all if you dont mind the wait a few min to transfer files its not that bad but in total a great console but i gave it a 3 star due to the fact it only has 368gb in free storage if Microsoft made a pro version for the s with all the same spec as the x wouldn't hesitate on grabbing that too and have this as my bed room

      Hi Jorge,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your new Xbox Series S. If you're also playing older backward compatible Xbox games that aren't enhanced for Xbox Series X/S, you may also add more storage by adding a standard external hard drive. While enhanced games may not be played directly from it, all other games can be.

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    Fun lightweight , I use it as a portable xbox for travelling, the series X is heavier and this one fits in any backpack easily.
