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.

    Got this on a whim after wanting another Xbox for a while. It’s a good little one. The GB’s are not as much as we wanted only about 300 GBs to download games which ain’t much. But we solved this by getting the WB external hard drive and it works well with this Xbox S no problems so Far. We’re glad we have a Xbox again.

    Great for people that play 1 or 2 games not a whole lot of space for the sizes of games that are being made, but nothing a portable hard drive wont fix.

    I bought it after doing research of which console brand would best suit my needs/wants. I chose this one for its backwards compatibility of several games I like to play from the 360. I also chose it because it's purple. It comes with a game code for Fortnite which you need to have an xbox live subscription in order to play. I don't have that so I gave my code to someone else. I paid $249 for this bundle and have been happy with it. The game play is smooth, I can connect my echo device to it and I can use my phone as a controller to play games and control other aspects of the system. This xbox has so many features that I have found to be very useful.

    It isn’t the console my son wanted , but he’s very happy with it. He found it’s better to download the games then go out and buy them. It also takes up less room then he expected.

    The Xbox Series S is a wonderful console, especially for those on a budget. If you're looking to enter the next-gen fray, but you don't want to break the bank, I strongly recommended this console.
