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.

    Solid console at an affordable price. Can't complain too much but I do think the X is a lot better than the S. If you can afford the X, the benefits are worth the upgrade price.

    Got this for my fiance for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. Plays CoD very well, and you can tell that the hardware has been updated. It's like going from a family sedan to a high power roadster.

    The Series S is awesome when you have an Xbox Game Pass. I put the Series S in the upstairs TV, while my Series X is on the main TV. The Series S looks nice and is compact.

    Had it for over almost 2 years before i decided to sell it. The storage is definitely lackluster but you can buy their ssd for more space if you need it.

    Good console to buy, I prefer digital due to you giving more space instead of using your cd's or worrying about them to get scratched up. Also the console is small so a lot more space.
