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.

    Way better than I expected. A major upgrade from the Xbox One S. We could see other players characters way off in the distance in Apex. Made a big difference when playing.

    A cheap and easily affordable next gen console. If you have any reservations don't... This is worth the money if you are trying to get into the Xbox/Microsoft echo-system.

    The Xbox is nice with the new graphics, but it is hard to get logged in through my old account with the new Xbox. It does not seem to want to register my old account making my son have to create a new account which has been very frustrating.

    This is great machine when coupled with Game Pass. It's not as good as the Series X of course, but it's much cheaper. If you're on a budget, the Series S is great choice.

    The Xbox Series S is the premier nextgen console option for those not wanting to break the bank. You’ll have a hard time spending $300 and getting a happier return.
