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 have no plans to upgrade my HD 1080 TV anytime soon..The Series S is exactly what I need and perfect price entry point. I don't need to upgrade my TV! I get just enough power and speed with the S. And I get to play flight simulator too!

    The new Xbox is really small. I like that it does not take up a lot of space. Very easy to set up you can do it on your phone. The menu is simply to use and the controller feels great. Graphics and load time are also big improvements

    For the price and paired with ultimate game pass you can't beat it. Only con is the memory size. Can only store about 3-4 games. Gotta delete when you want to download another game.

    The better option of the two versions of the new Xbox. Not to big that you need to rearrange your furniture or buy new furniture to accommodate it. Save yourself the added cost and pick up the small one and get an ssd to our with it for the cost of the series x

    Ready set up. Great price point. Do be aware that storage is light of you're loading optimized for 5th gen games but add-on storage is available and any digital game remains in your library for re-download if you backed it off your machine.

    Bought this instead of the other one in the Xbox Series, because the other one was out of stock. But I am not disappointed with this purchase. It is conveniently small and portable with fast speeds compared to my old Xbox One.

    We have always been a Play Station family. We bought this knowing that things would be different. THINGS WERE TOTALLY DIFFERENT! We will never go back. Graphics are clearer, the movements are way smoother and no glitches!

    Console is absolutely wonderful. Runs at crazy speeds and is worth the $300. Gamers who do not have a 4k screen should invest in this console. Sometimes console doesn’t load up games, but I believe the problem is with Microsoft’s connection and not the console.

    not bad of a xbox just if you have a 4k tv or monitor i would recommend the series X since that outputs true 4k resolution in games but if you cant wait of getting a series x and want a xbox that does the same just lower resolution

    Great console, was lucky enough to find one a few months back and have no complaints at all. It’s fast and the graphics are amazing on this thing. I also love the new resume feature, saves time from having to start up the game all over again.
