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.

    Awesome! Super fast and much smaller than expected. It looks sleek, sounds quiet, and is really portable. It's also nice and clean and seems well built.

    Xbox should be smacked in the face for the amount of storage they gave. 1 game is enough to take half you lucky if they are good titles. No real difference Xbox 1 to series s if you don’t have a 4K tv so far the games play faster so I’m glad loading isn’t bad at all.

    Best Buy saved my Christmas 2020, lost sleep trying to get a next gen, it was well worth it, My Xbox series S makes it bit more convenient to get my game on daily with cut loading times and the quick resume.

    Thankful that I was able to get at least one of the popular systems in time for a Christmas gift. The new smaller sleek design and all digital so no more having to buy game disc.

    A great system for a great price. However, if you have a 4K monitor then get the Series X. Also, you may want to consider getting an SSD expansion as 512 GB isn’t enough these days.

    This powerful lil console is pretty ok...sure it doesn't have much storage, it doesn't display native 4k and only sport an 1440p display. But it is very pleasant to the eyes visually and I am enjoying messing around with its features ,tweaking and fine tuning them. Series S isn't so bad I've played forza and gears of War 5 on it..gets a 4 outta 5 from me.

    This is much cheaper than the series x but definitely as good once it was finally in stock. My recommendation is getting this with a storage extension though because it only comes with 500 gb. 10/10

    As long as you purchase the expandable SD card the system works great! I have an LG OLED Tv and the images displayed are crisp and clear! No need to purchase a disc when you can go all digital!

    This works better than the xbox one and is worth it but the only complaint is that it only has 512 GB but if you have a external hard drive its good.
