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.

    This machine is a great supplement to any gamers collection. If your not a super xbox fan and opted to get a PS5.... or to wait for one, then this is a great option. You get access to all the games you want through the game pass and you dont have to collect physical media for a system thats not your main or favorite.

    I started playing video games with the Atri 2600. I have not have a system in a long time. I am blown away by the graphics and speed of this system. I have no issue with it being all digital. The Ultimate Pass is a total bargain.

    I have a beastly pc build and I previously bought the Xbox Series X when it first dropped. I sold the Series X becuase I didn’t use it but I missed playing Madden and MLB The Show! Picked this guy up and it’s been nothing but amazing!

    Xbox Series S - Excellent NexGen Upgrade

    Xbox Series S is a fantastic upgrade from previous generation consoles - specifically Xbox One. The loading speed, quick resume, ease of connectivity, reduced size, quiet operation and portability of the device are all big pros. This console is responsive without any real noise or heat issues that are noticeable with other consoles. At current price point of $299 this Xbox was a great option for upgrade to keep up with more powerful games. Minor cons include: -The internal 500GB (approx. 364GB available) hard drive mean users need to balance game files and usage vs. access to external storage devices or internet access. -The current SSD plug-in marketed for these new generation consoles cost almost as much as the console itself. Better off looking into HDD to cold storage games you are not currently playing and would rather transfer over instead of re-download. -Given it is an all digital device, no option for disc based games but there is easy access to GamePass as with other Xbox consoles. Overall very pleased with device after 6-months of continuous use.

    I have the series X and wanted to get my Dad playing Microsoft Flight Simulator. He doesn't have a PC, so I got him the Series S. It has worked out perfectly! He's 78 and is able to navigate to play the game. I'm very happy!

    Was really happy with my recent purchase. Having an Xbox that I can take on the go without having to bring CDs with me or anything as much easier much nicer and I can use it with a portable screen. The great for your casual user

    It works great. No issues with any game so far. I don't have a $2,000 latest tech 65 inch big screen, but it looks great on my 55 inch Samsung. Loads fast, runs fast. I have game pass, so I'm not too worried about storage, but I'd like to see more storage options soon. Reasonably priced storage options. The only downside is the learning curve on some of the navigation and on how to play coop games. It's not obvious how to do splitscreen on fortnite or rocket league for example. I had to search on the internet to figure it out. Haven't had a console since the original xbox, however. My kids are young, still a few years from being teenagers, so they really don't care we didn't get the series x. They just want to play some games! Me too! Your kids probably won't care either. If they do... start teaching more humility! Ha! With game pass and 3 people in my house playing it....i might buy the series x next year to keep us from arguing over who gets to play what and when! Not disappointed with this purchase. I would do again.

    Customer service made it really easy to pick up my Xbox series S, even looked up and answered questions i had about another product. When i got it home unpacked and plugged in the first thing i noticed was the video quality and how quick the load time was. Its perfect! Im obsessed with my new Xbox series S.

    Cant find a cheaper deal on a console so good. If i have to mention a negative it would be that the console does really heat up but apparently its normal so theres that, but with all the good content xbox has its a no brainer

    Bought this console because the others were out of stock and have been for quite some time. So glad we went with this because the Xbox game pass has so many options. We love it and highly recommend !
