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.

    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.

    Got two of these for both my son's but they didn’t really want this version. It was series x that was desired and with all the scalpers buying up the x’s I had to get this for them to have something new. All in all tho they really like it the speed, load times are good and the games that they already have play a lot better. Later on when X’s are more in wild might trade in for X for more power tho but this is a great buy.

    It took a couple hours to set up because of server problems and the controller joystick messed up (drifting). Overall it's good for the price but I do miss my playstation

    Good hardware but first its apparently not as powerful as the series X it is still a next Gen console at least next the console has no disc drive which is fine for most game but the problem is the storage space is terrible really 512Gb for a next gen console in this day and age which by the way is actually only like 300something in term of space you can use beside that its a pretty good console so far idk what more you can ask for also keep in mind if your going for the big next gen game their really none atm I would get the X but the this was available and i wanted to get in on the next Gen crave which there really nothing atm but the speed on this is the most noticeable thing thx to the SSD

    I bought this model of Xbox for my 11 years old son. It's a good budget option for young kids compared to the most expensive model.

    This is the absolute best bang for your buck system ever made. If you don't have a TV that can utilize the PS5 or the Series X you are just waiting your money. The only con is the small size of the internal storage. But ask yourself... How many games are you actually playing at one time? The 360 gb of free space (after formatting and system data) can fit a few games and an external ssd can hold the rest.

    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”.

    My son purchased for his use.... says it is way better than his xbox one and stays connected to the internet - that is why he bought a new one - we think it was because we had upgraded our modem and that is when he started experiencing issues. He really is enjoying this xbox since the majority of his games are digital.
