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.

    Really good buy if you can find these in store. It just needs a larger harddrive since you have to download everything.

    Best console ever

    For the price of only 300$ you get so much that the xbox one series is lacking, quick resume, fps boost, this console is so quiet no matter what game you are playing. Ive had so much fun playing with my friends all day and never got bored. The controller it comes with is also way better than the xbox one series, These controllers have more grip and the bumpers don’t make noise. I truly recommend you go out and pick your self up an xbox series s.

    Great upgrade from my older XBOX s. 120 frames is smooth as butter, and it loads games much quicker too. Def worth the hassle of trying to buy one

    only issue is storage space, and with the harddrive costing more than 200 just buy the series x if you plan on downloading large games
