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.

    It’s the next generation Xbox; use your galaxy brain to figure out what it does. The practical difference between this (model S) and the model X is 4K resolution. If you 1. don’t have a 4K capable monitor/tv &/or 2. prefer playing games with performance over visuals (ex. competitive titles) then this is fine. Don’t use disks, they’re a dying hardware.

    Great console for the value, especially if you grab Game Pass Ultimate. In my opinion, if you're a PC gamer, Game Pass Ultimate + Series S is a great combination without having to shell out the full price for the Series X. In no way do I think this is better than the Series X, but it's also $200 cheaper and a great entry-way into next-gen gaming.

    I bought this as upgrade to the xbox one x, and let me tell you it was not a mistake. i see a lot of people saying to stay with the one x, over this, but the load times and optimization make it wayyyy worth it. my advice is to sell the one x, if you have it, and upgrade to this.

    I have a Series X at my place, but I decided to get another machine to keep somewhere else. This is the perfect size and it performs surprisingly well compared to the Series X.

    The item is perfect. Worth the wait and hype. My only complaint is the grip on the controller is like polka dots and feels like sandpaper. I'm looking into alternative grips for it. Other than that this thing and accompanying controller are so much fun and so fast. I def. recommend getting extra storage as I have 4 games and almost filled my space.

    Great console, especially for the price point. Don't let the smaller storage bother you too much, just add an external hdd, 90% of the games run off the external drive. Only some of the Series X/S exclusives require the internal SSD. For instance, Halo MCC runs off the external drive. Also, amazing platform for emulation, if you're into that.

    This little box plays games and does a good job at it! If you are not worried about 4k gaming and 1080-1440p for next gen games are ok with you, this console works great! I've got the Series X and S and this console holds it's own great. Flight Simulator ran really well connected to a monitor as did other games I've tested.

    This console it is great, honestly it is an excellent upgrade for those who can't afford the Xbox Series X or are unable to acquire it. Because it is much smaller than my previous Xbox, it doesn't occupy so much space. The games that I played, which are online mostly, do run significantly smoother and faster, so that is a huge difference.
