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.

    Ever wanted to have a console that plays your games at a good enough resolution to appreciate the visuals at a price that won’t break your pocket? Look no further. Especially if you already own a Playstation and want a backup console to travel or just play something different.

    I am an avid gamer, I started playing videogames in the late 70s when my parents bought me an Atari 2600. I have had the pleasure of owning all of the major consoles since then and I have been a fan of XBOX since 2001. I also play playstaion and I own a PS5. I was a huge fan of the 360 and barely touched my PS3 that generation. Then the PS4 and the XBOX one came out and Playstation dominated them from the very start till the bitter end. Now it seems the pendulum has again swung in XBOX's favor. I picked up an S to use for gamepass as Forza and Halo are coming out and I cant believe the value I am getting with gamespass. Literally the deal of the century and the S model plays games very fast and I have never once felt like I compromised. I will relegate this unit to my bedroom and replace it with the X in a year or so when they are commonplace as the grind to get a PS5 took alot out of me as far as time consumed goes. I think the S model with gamespass is the best deal ever in the history of gaming and I should know. I have been here for the entire history of videogaming. Congrats Microsoft you just changed the game again.

    I love this Xbox, it being a lot smaller than the Series x was perfect for me since I don’t have much space and the price for it was great I’d recommend it if you want a solid gaming experience

    Bought for my husnand for christmas so he can play online with our two boys. Teo have the Xbox Series S and one has the Xbox series X. All operate same speed. The S doesnt have as much storage so if you want to download a lot of games consider that first.

    Upgraded my cousin’s original xbox one as a gift. Works 100x better than the model from a decade ago, he loves it. The only downside is amount of storage, so I recommend an external hard drive, like the black box.

    Got this for my son for Christmas great console only thing is it needs to be flat if it’s on its side it will over heat just like the series x can’t stand up but it’s fast snappy and runs games perfectly

    Awesome platform. Profomance is great no issues at all running games in the back ground. Storage space should be improved especially since this is a digital only system.

    The best console for its price range. Can handle every game almost has good as the series x or play station 5 while also handling 120 fps. Great option if you want to be a competitive gamer or even if you play from time to time. Its the best option for both having a great time and also not spending that much money.

    Honestly this thing is great and is probably a better fit for lost than a series X. The only reason I returned this thing is because I already have the X and a Ps5. This thing is great though. Looks great on a 2k monitor and it’s so compact. Great for a traveling professional. Highly recommend this thing!

    I bought this as a replacement for my wife’s Xbox that gave up the ghost. It is discless, and is meant for 1440p, but it still plays everything about as well as my friends series x. Overall a good value for 300.

    Xbox Series S is professional, and productive. It’s small enough to bring anywhere is compact-able enough for open space. Great storage, but if you play many games you need more.

    Good console. Have been out of gaming for a awhile. So this was a great introduction back into gaming. Downside is it has limited storage. However you can get more stroage by getting a external hardrive. Overall it is a good buy.

    Enjoying my Series S. Fun & Inexpensive Gaming

    Honestly, it’s exactly what it says on the box. If you aren’t super into gaming, or if you want to game on a budget, the Series S is the best way to go. Get Game Pass Ultimate, and start drifting into paying some awesome games and Xbox exclusives! Two things to know before you buy though, you will need additional storage. That game storage can get a little bit tight after you’ve been playing for a while. You won’t need it right away, but give it a couple of months and look into some expansion cards for your Series S. Also look into chargeable battery packs. Besides that, if you are looking for cheaper but still awesome gaming, Series S is the way to go. If you do have that additional funds to spend out, weigh you options and look at one of the nex Gen disc consoles (Series X or PS5).

    Very happy with this purchase. Performance is good and haven’t experienced any issue since getting this back in December. Wish I would’ve gotten more storage but for what I paid, I can’t complain.

    I am amazed by the power that the Xbox Series S has. Boot times and load times are so much better than the Xbox One X. If you have any doubts, just go for it. You won't be disappointed. But I do recommend an external hard drive.

    First ever console, this is a whole clutch. I was scared to get an xbox since I’ve never used one before so I would have to get used to then controls. But it was actually so easy to adjust to it. Xbox Series S is fire, I recommend it to anyone wanting a new console. Plus, the controls are smooth fr.
