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.

    Fantastic system for the money. If you don't really care about 4k, or just want something cheap to use Gamepass, this is the system to do it. It's a lot smaller than you can tell from the picture, so once you open it you will be surprised! Whisper quiet, super fast nvme ssd hard drive, great controller, it's worth the asking price plain and simple. I do suggest looking into the official add on hard drive when it drops in price as you will need more space. But if you just want to store games off to the side, a standard drive will work just fine as well. Happy gaming!

    Great Console - Only Problem is Storage

    I purchased this item worried that it wouldn't run much faster than my Xbox One and be exponentially slower than the Series X, but I was very wrong! The Series S runs quickly, still looks great on my monitor, and is a fraction of the cost! One big downside is the lack of storage space. I can hold maybe 3 games downloaded at a time on my Xbox. This issue, however, is mitigated by buying the SeaGate external hard drive where you can then have 2.5 TB of storage - over twice that of the Series X - and still >$100 less than the stock Series X.

    Great upgrade option from the standard xbox, does 1440p and games load a lot faster.. plus the quick resume is such a nice feature, also very reliable hardware wise.. only flaw is that the storage space is not that great so id highly recommend the seagate expansion 1tb if you plan to have multiple games downloaded at once

    It was cool best buy had this in stock when no one else could for more than 30 minutes but I returned it as game stop had a fresh stock of the series x under the all access bundle exclusively which meant scalpers couldn't out stock it, I plan on getting one of these later on though as the series xbox's play games smoother than anything else I've played and my pc has rdna1 specs, 4k is absolutely optional, just get a 120 display and get the all access bundle because it discounts gamepass for buying in bulk and the first week you will have over 500$ in games played :)

    Excellent console. Might not be as powerful as the big brother X but plenty for a part time gamer like myself. Have it paired with an LG C9 and both deliver.

    Awesome small gaming console

    This is the best next generation gaming system for money and let me tell you why. First and foremost this is amazing gameplay in a small form factor. When you’re playing COD Cold War multiplayer m you’re not going to really care so much about the ray tracing as much as the overall smoothness of the game as well as the fun factor. Additional because it’s a small device you can bring it along with you in a Gaems suitcase so you can play it on travel. I may get an Xbox Series X for home and Xbox Series S for when I travel. So when we play and I progressed in the Series S it reflects on the X as well!

    Love this little console. Bought it to tide me over until I could land a Series X. Been using it to play gamepass games since there’s no disc drive. Plays most games at 1080p 60 FPS. Not as good as a PC or the series X but it’s good enough. The 512 GB SSD is a weakness for the console. After the operating system for the Xbox is accounted for, you get like 350ish GB leftover. An external HDD or one of those SSD expansion cards are definitely recommended in an era where games are routinely 100GB or larger.
