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.

    Like the new UI and the quick resume is awesome. My only problem is that the games seem to get larger and larger. I used to be able to fit 4-5 games on my Xbox one s and now on my series s I can have maybe 2-3. Another issue is the expansion cards cost almost as much as the console does. It’s crazy that they cost so much.

    Got this as my portable Xbox X|S Game Pass machine so I don’t have to take the X around. If it was my only console, I’d miss the ability to use physical media, but with Game Pass, it’s great

    Love this Digital Edition. This was a gift for my husband and I didn’t know how much he preferred the digital edition. No more discs and scratches. I guess I am a life saver.

    I love the xbox series s, good noiseless and very light and compact. The only thing I wish it could do the use of discs for playing old games in it, other than that good. Thanks BB

    This is basically a 1080p console alternative to the new series x. Its just as fast however most games will only do 1080p or sometimes less.

    Great starter or second console. Lots of bang for your buck here! Add Game Pass to the mix, and this little box will keep you entertained for hours.

    I’ve been a loyal PlayStation user my whole life and i still am but i bought the Xbox because of all of the exclusives that come with the game pass and overall I’ve been enjoying it but i will say that putting 2 AA batteries in the controller every other week is a joke. But the console itself in a whole is very nice it runs very quick and smoothly

    Haven’t been able to use the 120 FPS feature yet because my tv only pushes 60 but it still runs AMAZING! Can’t wait to hook it up to a monitor that is able to push that many frame rates

    I didn't need it, but for some reason i just saw it as necessary. I felt like if i wanted i can hide it behind tv in a setup. I take it with me to work during night shifts at a hotel. I love it.

    Can't call it next gen...

    I'm a PlayStation person, but PS5s are hard to come by so I made the Series S my first Xbox. I really like the size and it reminds me of the PlayStation 2. Thus far, I wouldn't call this a next generation console, but more of an iterative update. Maybe my experience and opinion would be different if the next generation games like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, or the next Gears were available. I'm also disappointed that the controller does not come with a rechargeable battery in the box. All in all the Series S is a decent value for the money. But I'm not sold on it being a next generation console, at least not at this point.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Amazing machine! I own both series x and s, and the s holds up well. Great if you arent in the latest abd greatest tvs or the very highest level console graphics arent a priority.
