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.

    I thought I wouldnt mind a digital only console as much as I do. I find myself wanting to go back to older titles I already have on disc but then remembering I am unable to play them. Kind of a bummer but at least you save like $200

    For the price point and gameplay, this is excellent value! Only downside is the hard drive space - it could be larger.

    It is a good game console, really very economical versatile and it works if you do not use disk games, its 120fps I think is evident in each game, but the truth is that its older sister the X series is much better. I recommend it for players who are starting and need a good console to enter the world of XBOX and gaming

    Great Traveling Consele

    Great for traveling, amazing at 1440 or 1080. I got this for when I travel its smaller and lighter than my gaming Razer 15. I does great when I'm at the hotel and they only have 1080p TV. its small and light and you only need to bring the power cable, hdmi and a controller and your set. seems like my gaming computer is on par on graphics as well. If yo want a compact gaming console to travel with you for yourself or your kids this is the one to get and at the same time if you dont want to game and just watch streaming services this works to. I think the price is a bit high at 300 but at 250 which I feel it will be next year around the holidays it will come down in price.

    So far no issues. I like the convenience of not having to worry about game boxes laying around and disks getting broken. The picture quality and graphics are pretty good. My son loves it!

    Perfect for Casual Xbox Gamer. You can use it for competitive, but I typically only have multi-player games that my friends like to play (some Comp some not), so I haven't even needed to upgrade the storage yet. Didn't need a disk drive because a friend and I split Xbox Live Game Pass. The graphics are great even playing old Xbox 360 games (Morrowind). The small design fits great on any Entertainment Center/Desk. Perfect for having a few games just to play with friends, or even some fun Single Players.

    If you’re unsure what to get for next gen consoles this is an amazing option. The price tag alone is convincing enough to buy the series S but the power in this little guy is incredible.

    Incredible value coupled with Game Pass. I’m a long time PlayStation guy. I haven’t had a Xbox console since the original 360 (bought at launch). But man, I gotta say I love my Series S. Game Pass is just an amazing service. Pros: -An incredible amount of content with Game Pass. -Supports 4K@120fps if you have a 120Hz TV. -Fast load times Cons -Not a lot of storage. The SSD upgrade is $200. -No disk drive. If you want to play Xbox games and can’t find a Series X, the Series S is a great value. As long as you’re okay with no disc drive and the storage being what it is.

    Awesome system not being to get a Xbox X is a bummer but the price and power of the S makes up for it. Just get a HDD for extra space for the last gen games.
