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.

    I love it, its perfect for my son he still gets all the next gen graphic and you can cross play with ps5 on certain games. The only downfall is the storage but you can install more on it which is clutch because you can download alot of free games from the past with ultimate pass

    Quality Product, with a few fixable flaws

    I am very happy with my purchase. Just a few minor complaints. I love the size, and price point. It gets you into the next gen at a realistic price. I think the games run smooth. Sure they are not on same level with Series X or PS5 but they will do. My one complaint is I do not like the Xbox UI and the options for audio / mics. Just seems very dumbed down + hard to navigate.

    Fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to upgrade from the XBOX ONE. This is super-fast and performs like no console I have used before. Obviously, the small hard drive is a pain, but it is it what it is. So worth the low cost, in my opinion.

    Love kicking back at the end of the day and playing games with all my buddies. Load times are a thing of the past with this new Xbox. Only thing that is a pain, is the small usable space on the SSD. Easily fixed by an external SSD. Great system. Great price.

    Worth upgrading from the “one”. I also transitioned to a gaming monitor and it’s been incredible. Graphics/gameplay/ everything about it is worth it. Pretty sleek too, and much smaller so it looks good displayed.

    Very impressed by the series s. For one it’s tiny very sleek looking and quiet. I have the series x but I wanted this for my room. Setup was easy using the Xbox app. Internal storage is small but I bought a 2tb external to move and store games. Very happy with my purchase.

    Worth the cost for both Game Pass and Emulation

    Simply put.. If you want to play games using Game Pass, Digital Purchases and/or want an an amazing Emulation Beast... the Series S is for you. Otherwise, wait for the Series X to be more available if you have physical game discs. Highly Recommended.

    Held strong to my expectations. The specs and speed are on point as well as the graphics. I prefer the digital console over having to physically going out searching for particular games or ordering them online having to wait for them to arrive. I am completely satisfied.

    If you don't play a tone load of games and you use a lot of streaming services, the Xbox Series S would be a amazing device to use. Pros: Streams 4K, next gen games, portable, light weight Cons: Limited storage
