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.

    My son says he like the game. I did curbside pick for this product. I did not have to wait long for my item to be brought to me. There was a delay however on when to item was ready for pick I had to wait a few extra days, but that was understandable.

    The Xbox is definitely one powerful system that I enjoy and love so much. Not having to worry about buying a a CD and just being able to download the game is so great. Also buying it from Best buy made this whole process this whole experience very easy.

    Bought as a cost alternative to the series X. Works great and allows me to play X/S enhanced games without paying for the series X.

    Very fast and super clear picture. Coming from PS4 this device is a must. Battelfield is way more clear and quick and snappy. Halo looks incredible and the load time to install games are fast. Easily can store 5 or 6 games.

    Perfect console for someone who doesn’t play that often or is addicted to one or two games. Got as a gift for my GF who plays Assassins Creed, she was playing on the older Xbox X and loved the improved graphics on this console.

    I love this console and ive had just about all of the different consoles you can buy. I especially love the small compact size of it. Runs 2k and 155fps easily. Must have!

    Hard to get my hands on one, but for it's price and the count of power it's capable of, this is a no brained for casual gamers. All digital does limit it, but game pass and streaming services make this console more than enough for me.

    Great low cost next gen console. If you are playing from a 1080p TV this is the unit for you. Games still look great and half the price of a PS5 or Xbox One and much more availability. Also great to use for emulators and older games.

    Underrated, unless you have a 4K tv, this is the Xbox to get. The graphical improvement of the series x is only worth it if you have a high end 4K tv like an oled. If not, grab this and enjoy! You won’t be missing out on anything!

    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.

    This console is a game changer. Load times, FPS, temps you name it, this thing is rolling over the competition. I play pc primarily and use this when I have friends over. I notice similar load times to that of a multi-thousand dollar rig.
