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.

    The Xbox Series S has a faster load. The console is space efficient and it is why I purchased this one.

    A very good video game console for the price. Yes it would be nice if it had a blu ray drive but for the price it's hard to justify it. Yes the trade off is that you need a subscription to play online and buy digital games but on the bright side there is more space on the shelf not cluttered with media. The only other sore spot was the on board memory 365GB , darn Microsoft couldn't you make this at least like the playstation and have 667 GB minimum since some games are huge.

    Great purchase! At $300 it can run most games at great graphics. If you're a hardcore gamer go for the Series X, but this will work more than fine for casual players.

    This console is perfect if you are looking for a cheaper next gen option. My kids have this, a ps5 and series X. The S is honestly just as good, it looks and plays awesome on 4k tv's, i cant tell a difference in which system they are playing. You can barely see a difference in 1440p and 4k. Storage isnt really an issue as most games are playable through the cloud. You can also just add a cheap usb thumb drive to store all the games that arent X/S enhanced. Highly recommend..

    Nice improvement even over the older X series. The price point is much better as well. Storage is the only issue.

    Awesome for the price. Great upgrade from a One S. Definitely need an additional Hard drive. Super compact and portable. But if you are willing to buy an additional HD might as well get the X. (If you can find one.) Ended up returning it for the Series X. More power And true 4K.

    Ive owned every gaming console since the inTelevison. Google it. The series s is a great little console with enough horsepower for most people. Its best selling point is ofcourse the price. The resolution is great on a 4k tv. Most people will not be able to tell its not true 4k. Since I’ve had kids ive downgraded to being a casual gamer and this console has been just fine for me. Xbox game pass is also amazing. Ps5 is struggling with putting out games these days so xbox has the edge here.

    Really great system for the price. You might not get that 4k/60fps experience, but for 1080p, it is fantastic. Quick load times and GamePass is a game changer.

    This is a very capable next gen console and for the price you can't really beat that. What's more is that it's small so it fit really good with the setup that I have.
