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.

    Easy to set up and navigate. Love the gaming options with GamePass. Cheaper than the X but still gives the Next Gen experience!

    Ultimate Game Pass Machine

    I purchased this purely to take advantage of the Ultimate Game Pass service and could not be happier. The subscription is worth every penny and the system runs so smoothly. My only complaint is the controller not being rechargeable but that is not worth lowering the score.

    Perfect console for anyone. It looks good and runs great. Only downside is the amount of storage but a hard drive is an easy add on

    Bought this as a present for my little brothers birthday and he loves it! This machine is not only much smaller but way more powerful than his origina xbox one. The performance of yhis little machine blew my mind when conpared to the original. Well worth the price tag.

    We love it! At first we are hesitant and we kept waiting for the xbox series x availability but we never regretted getting the series s instead. We like the fact that we dont have any disc and we can simply switch to another game without putting any discs

    Have had it for a little over a year I think and it still runs as smooth as the day I got it. I travel a lot so the small size of it makes it easy.

    It’s early, but this console is far superior to the original Xbox One. Audio, graphics, speed are all top notch. Older games look amazing, movies are crisp. Couldn’t be happier. I’m using an hdmi 2.0 cable with an LG OLED tv, so haven’t even unlocked the full potential of the console.

    I only bought this thing to resell. I’ve been a fan of xbox but I knew when both of these consoles dropped this would be the dud. It’s basically worthless... mine as well just keep your xbox one :/ If you wanna waste 299.99 go ahead but i’m going to just spend the pennies more for the Series X

    I bought the Xbox series s for both my son & daughter for Christmas last year (2021) my son love his Xbox my daughter doesn’t. I don’t like it neither I want to get the series x because all the games with the console is online. It says that the device has 512 gb but that’s a lie because my son doesn’t have a lot of games & already his storage is full. I wouldn’t really recommend but to each it’s own.

    I just bought it and don't play but, from what I can see, it works great. I like that all the games are streamed and no more game boxes laying around. Bought it especially for the Flight Simulator and it works great. I was worried I'd need the X series to steam that game.

    For the price its really an outstanding choice for people who may not have a 4k TV to run the main benefits of the series X, storage so far has not been an issue. Especially since storage has always been easy to manage on xbox. It runs great and is a very powerful quiet little machine.
