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.

    If you’re a casual gamer who plans on playing on a tv this is the perfect console for you. Games load extremely quick and i havent experienced any console end lag even during demanding game events

    Xbox Series S Review

    For $299, this console is definitely incredible, the only issue with it, is it’s lack of storage, it comes with roughly 376gb of game storage after the initial setup, so after about 4 bug games you’d be out of space. If your an extreme gamer, and know your going to play a huge variety of different games, Get the Series X, but if you only got this just for the fact of having an Xbox next gen console for exclusives, this is fine.

    So fast. Faster boot-up and quieter than my xbox1. The handiness of digital is awesome. I just have a problem with the added monthly charge for game pass, but that's nothing to do with tho box itself. Smooth play and great revolution. This is the S so it does not have a disc option, so if you do not do disks like me its perfect.

    Xbox Series S what can I saw I was blown away. I’ve been playing Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, Back 4 Blood the games look absolutely amazing. This is the best generation of gaming. You definitely need a 4K tv to truly experience the full capacity of this console. I truly recommend that you also get the Sea Gate Expansion Card as well you’ll definitely need it for the big games.
