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.

    Despite the fact that it's weaker than the Series X, I love this machine. It's got a nice punch for a mere $300. Also, if you don't have a newer 4k TV, than the Series X may be more than you need anyway. This would be a great economical gaming choice for kids, 1080p and lower-end 4k TVs, casual gamers, new gamers, and for those just wanting a machine for Game Pass. It runs silent and cool. It will play next gen games, even if a lower level.

    At times the console is buggy and unresponsive, but as its such a small device I feel its still impressive and it has many pros then cons. Definitely worth for casual gaming if you dont care for 4k.

    it's a nice little system. really fast. I'd say it's perfect for kids or a extra bedroom console or something, but not a system that will keep a hardcore gamer satisfied throughout this generation.

    Great for the casual gamer. Super quiet console that doesn't take much space. Extra Plus: No external power supply needed. Keep in mind this console does NOT have a CD/DVD/Blue Ray drive. You can only play digital purchased content and anything that is part of "Games with Gold" or Xbox Gamepass. Series X/S optimized games can only be played while they are on the Solid-State Drive - and you only have about 365 GB available of the total 512GB. If you are more than just a casual gamer consider the Series X with 1TB SSD and a CD/DVD/Blue Ray drive. Adding an additional external USB HDD is only good for non-X/S optimized games and for legacy 360 or original xbox games.

    This is a really great console. I was really shocked and surprised. It loads very quickly. I have a television that supports this Xbox series S and the picture is simply mind blowing. I even hooked to one of my TVs that doesn’t support it’s features and that looked pretty good. This Xbox is a sleeper. Better get one before everybody finds out about this. Based on how this console is, the Xbox series X has to be a “Monster”.
