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.

    Truely an upgrade from xbox one. Much much faster operations and you can have quick lqunch games, something xbox one cannot handle. I got this because i cant find the series x. This definitely suffices and i may not even get the series x now.

    It’s exactly what I wanted. A low-cost casual gaming experience. Plug and play - and game pass makes it easy to log on and try different games

    not bad of a xbox just if you have a 4k tv or monitor i would recommend the series X since that outputs true 4k resolution in games but if you cant wait of getting a series x and want a xbox that does the same just lower resolution

    This make a great secondary console to my Ps5 that I will primarily game on. Loading times on this is phenomenal and I love the resume feature that allows me to jump straight to a game that I am playing. I only wished that this output native 4K resolution. The storage size is ok for now as I will only use the console for game pass games and don’t necessarily need a lot of games installed at once. All in all good value for what you paid.

    Love, love, love this machine. This is my first xbox console and just wow. Lightening fast, super quiet, a complete and total monster. Get the gamepass with it, at least at the start. Totally a no brainer.

    We have always been a Play Station family. We bought this knowing that things would be different. THINGS WERE TOTALLY DIFFERENT! We will never go back. Graphics are clearer, the movements are way smoother and no glitches!

    It provides great value as a secondary platform. I'm a primarily PC gamer and I bought the Series S for its backwards compatibility for the games that missed PC and Game Pass (PC game pass is a technical mess not worth bothering with). Pair that with Microsoft rewards points that you can get from using the Xbox and playing Game Pass games and the value is hard to beat if your taste in games lines up with what's on offer.

    Really wanted the series X but was worried the S would sell out during the holidays so I bought this for the moment, no regrets, still will upgrade whenever shortages come to an end but this xbox packs a whole lot of vaule.
