Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point. 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.

    Really digging this console. Game Pass is a solid value and this console plays current gen games very well. While I prefer my PS5 overall, I get to play with my PC player friends through crossplay so that's awesome.

    I purchased this for my son for Christmas. He enjoyed it for a while but he didn’t want it anymore because he couldn’t play spiderman

    I have a 1080p TV and do not plan to upgrade soon. The fast load times are worth the upgrade to the new generation Xbox. I also think that the picture is better (even at 1080p - 60hz)...but that could also be placebo effect.

    Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because it is digital only

    Bought this to replace a Xbox 360. The Series S is much quieter, loads much quicker, and runs much smoother. The controller has good battery life. The only thing that I don't like is that the triggers feel a bit mushy.

    Finally got series s after a month of looking for either series x or s. Got it delivered with no issues, and its smaller than i thought so it saves space. Great console, i recommend it for the casual gamer.

    The xbox series x is definitely worth it. It has super fast loading speeds compared to last gens and I personally noticed higher resolution and better gaming performance. Too. All around plus for me. Get it 9f you can. You will be happy.

    Its the first xbox i have ever owned and my mind is blown! Its designed to be paired with a gaming monitor so results may vary. Dont waste your money on a cheap gaming PC because this is way more bang for your buck.

    Much better console than I thought. Very fast speed, games run great and look great. Gives you the taste of next gen without hurting the wallet. Only knock is the storage capacity. But can be upgraded with memory cards.

    This console is by far one of the best consoles I have ever own. I have switched to digital games for a while already and this console is perfect if You switched from the actual discs to digital. It super fast and the graphics are great.

    Nice system. Everything written about this system is accurate. A little difficult to get use to an all digital system. Not sure why there isn’t more apace offered but I suggest getting and external hard drive immediately.

    For those of us who can’t get ahold of the X the S is a very suitable substitute, especially if you dont have a 4k capable display, does everything the x does minus the disk drive but in this day of digital gaming i find myself less and less worried about a disk drive every single day and as far as storage, expandable memory is so affordable these days its not even an issue. Definitely worth it.
