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.

    Does the job. Hooked up an external drive for xbox and it kept telling me to install faster games directly to the console, so hard drive cant be as bad as people claimed. Left it on for 3 days, no issues.

    Great system! Works fine. No issues and runs really smooth. Down side of things is that it’s very limited on storage.

    Awesome Xbox for budget and/or PlayStation fans! I own a PS5 but I decided to buy this to play the game pass games and it works wonderful for that! Also super slim and small so it fits everywhere. 10/10

    Compact but powerful - it gets warm where we placed ours under the shelf on our computer desk, but that was expected based on the initial feedback from other customers for the Series X

    Bought this fella to hold me over until I could get a retail priced Series X and let a scalper starve. Honestly don’t know that I’ll even bother now, the Series S is underrated af.

    Good companion for someone who has a PS5 or Switch. Not good as a primary console. Storage waaay too low. Only about 367 usable storage. Thats nothing, and the only way to expand it is by a seagate expansion card that offers 1TB for $200. After tax that with the console combined is more than the series X. Best used as a second console.

    I like how slim it is and the price is great. We mostly buy digital games anyways so we didn’t mind not having the disk drive and saving some money.

    Great product for a great price! I upgraded from my Xbox One X after about two years and the 120 frames are awesome. I've so far had no issues with the hardware or software.

    its perfect for a 2nd next gen console, but it can't be your main. It compliments my PS5 well, I enjoy gamepass ultimate on the system and the ability to either dl or stream games

    I’ve had this brand new Xbox for about 12 years and it’s holding up well. I’ve replaced the spindle and the transaxle twice. Would recommend aftermarket swashplates.

    Went ahead and got this to replace my old box. It’s very small and sleek. Boots up quick and the fact it’s “next gen” you get the upgraded games. Very impressed good power for price

    With fast internet connection, this is uncompetitive gaming machine. I really love it. Its ssd blazingly fast. I am more likely on fos side for gaming not resolution. 2k is enough with monitors.

    Got it only because the series X is harder to find than Atlantis, but I’m very glad we did. It is significantly faster than previous gen and games that are optimized for series s/x look amazing!!!

    Its much faster. Some of the S/x optimized games are around/greater than 100GB so you might run out of space soon. It also cant play my old games but overall it was a decent upgrade.
