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.

    Was an amazing gift for my nephew! So far its worked better than we expected. Such a great idea to only get digital games and prevents a cluster on his desk.

    Nice and powerful for a mini console but the small amount of storage fills up quick

    Husband loved it! That’s all I need to say. I don’t understand why they force you to say more. It’s not genuine if you do that. HOWEVER, he said was one of the best gifts I ever gave.

    Great for what my son and I use it for. Which is only gaming. I don't run any other apps on it. Mostly just stuff on Gamepass.

    Great system for those of you who do not care about 4k or have a 4k display. Bought this for my kids who game on a 1080p tv and its amazing for that purpose.

    Very good to play on, it hasn’t given me any problems and it works way better with a gaming monitor 120 frames is so good!

    At the heart of Series X is the Xbox Velocity Architecture, which pairs a custom SSD with integrated software for faster, streamlined gameplay with significantly reduced load times. Seamlessly move between multiple games in a flash with Quick Resume.

    For anyone still a year out of next-gen gaming and still not able to get a next-gen console, then this is the one to get. I got this as a second console to my Series X and to have in a lower resolution TV. The gameplay is flawless, obviously, if you plug it into a 4K TV or monitor, your gameplay will not be the same as a Series X. But this paired with Game Pass is going to keep you busy for days.

    The better option of the two versions of the new Xbox. Not to big that you need to rearrange your furniture or buy new furniture to accommodate it. Save yourself the added cost and pick up the small one and get an ssd to our with it for the cost of the series x

    I caved and bought the s only because of Halo getting ready to drop this year I do love the graphics true 4k and it looks amazing just wish it could play disc games as well but when the x becomes available again I will try to beat the bots to 1

    Console is absolutely wonderful. Runs at crazy speeds and is worth the $300. Gamers who do not have a 4k screen should invest in this console. Sometimes console doesn’t load up games, but I believe the problem is with Microsoft’s connection and not the console.

    I can understand some ppl wanting the X, but it never crossed my mind and I’ve loved every second with the S. Impressed so far but that said I haven’t been stressing it out or anything, only casually playing as I’ll continue to do lol.

    Was definitely debating whether this was going to be a good choice because of the limited amount of storage but definitely best bang for your buck to get into the new gen consoles

    Well... I have been playing for one week now. I tried several games like Godfall (i would rate 4/10), Spider-Man Remastered (10/10 so far), Astro Bots (I'm an playstation fan for over 25 year now - so... 10/10!), God of War PS+ collection (10/10 - even it's only 30fps) and many other games I owned before: CoD Warzone, Battlefield 5, Rainbow Six Siege, No Mans Sky, Destiny 2, Madden NFL, GTA online. All in all I'm very impressed by the smoothness of the PS5 UI. Everything works more fluently and faster. It's very easy and fast to create and join parties! And I really love the new controller as it is a bit bigger, fitting perfect in my hands. I really love the adaptive triggers, as they for example simulates the tension of spider-mans webs when web-swinging through new york! That's awesome!

    I have no plans to upgrade my HD 1080 TV anytime soon..The Series S is exactly what I need and perfect price entry point. I don't need to upgrade my TV! I get just enough power and speed with the S. And I get to play flight simulator too!
