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.

    Honestly the only complaint i have is the small storage but i dont mind. Its such an upgrade from old gen. From loading times in games to the 30fps increase, its so worth it for price.

    Ever play with someone and are tired of their slow Xbox taking forever to load a game and the whole team has to wait? Yeah we solved that problem and just sent with the weakest link an upgrade so we don’t have to keep waiting for him. Its wonderful. We changed his life.

    Price was amazing for I got it for $250 is a good deal. Some stores I see go down to $200 Unfortunately, had to return the product because of its small hard drive and to purchase one would be $200 more which I’m getting close to the Xbox series x territory so I picked one of those up instead

    So I have the regular Series X but I travel a lot for work so this has been a godsend since I can just stick it in my suitcase and it doesn't take that much space. This is the perfect system if you have Gamepass.

    Honestly one of the best affordable gaming options if you want to get into next gen. Pick it up with a gamespass or gamespass ultimate subscription. You dont need to buy the $200 expansion card this system is compatible with regular external hard drives, you will have to move the xbox series optimized games back and forth depending the hard drives but its a nice option.

    Bought this with a casual gamer in mind for Christmas to upgrade from their old VCR style Xbox one. Needless to say it was a special highlight of their Christmas morning. Plus the value can't be beat if you don't care about max settings on everything. Highly recommend!

    The system its self is very impressive but if your looking for memory space i would recommend getting the xbox X due to having such low memory space it gets frustrating when you want to downloaded a new game of corse there other option like getting a memory card attchment but at that point might as well get the Xbox X this system is best for digital games and if you only really play one or two games the low memory space is really the only issue i have with it if you dont have much money to spend on a system this one is nice and affordable truly is a little brother of the series x

    The beast we didn’t deserve

    Let me start off by saying that I got a Series X first and I LOVE IT so I wanted to have a secondary console so that I didn’t have to be moving or transporting my Series X around wherever I wanted to play. So I thought to check out the Series S to see what it had to offer. All I can say is WOW! I love my Series S, same gaming experience, but in a more portal form factor. I would say I play more on my Series S now because it continues to blow me away in terms of what it is capable of producing out of the “budget console”. On paper I’d say the Series S is between a ps4 pro and Xbox one x, but what Microsoft did to maximize its capabilities to give you that next gen experience, was a job well done! If you were on the fence about this, don’t be! This console is worth every dollar. Keep in mind that not all games will look as crisp as on the Series X BUT this little box still can produce 4K at 30fps which is still enough for titles but you lower the resolution to get more FPS in more fast paced titles and the picture still looks good. Also the 4K up scaling I’d say is very good, maybe not the best but remember this console came out less than a year ago and improvements will only make this more of a sleeper beast with time. GET IT

    I was fortunate enough to get a Series X day one through Microsoft (though it took forever). A couple months later I got another Series X for my daughter and a PS5 digital for myself the same day. All fine consoles. But I was taking up too much time on my 65" OLED when my wife wanted to watch TV, so I bought a Series S and connected it to my desktop monitor. Couldn't be more pleased. It's a solid console with great loading speed, graphics are perfectly fine, etc. I ended up giving it to a long-time friend who was out of work for a very long time (but now back to work) - we met on the original Xbox (and have never met in real life for that matter). He loves it as well. Then my dad (who is in his 80s) has an older original Xbox One, and wanted to play MS Flight Simulator. So I bought him one as well. He loves it, and we fly together from time to time. It's an awesome console.
