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.

    Great for what it is. If you have a 4K HDTV, I recommend the Xbox Series X. However, if you have anything less than 4K, the Xbox Series S has all the capability you need for a digital setup.

    I love everything about it, has stuff my PlayStation 5 doesn’t have. You have the game pass, a whole lot of games old and new you can play.

    An amazing value. Great way to get a next gen console. You can play Xbox One, Xbox 360 and first gen Xbox games off an external hard drive too. It's a wonderful machine!

    Nice console for basic use. Like the esthetics, looks clean and sleek. Gamepass is a great subscription.

    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

    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.

    It came in a box with lots of padding so it won’t move around. This is my first console and it’s awesome. It has pretty good graphics and it doesn’t glitch a lot. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

    This product is fun to use for crossplay with other pc users. Definitely a step up from the x box 1 but less expensive than 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.

    Got this for my son who loves it and the feature of having disc free gaming is perfect because he never loses a disc never scratches a disc. Access all games on one service that I pay for monthly and I never have a complaint from him. I do recommend it
