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.

    A solid new generation console... as long as you don't want to use a disc or game in 4k. The Xbox One X may be a slightly better buy at this price range though.

    I’ll say this swiftly, the Series S with the game pass is the best bang for your buck compared to all next gen console deals so far out.

    This little machine is small, compact and powerful. If you are upgrading from an original Xbox one or One s this is defiantly worth the upgrade

    Love this little console. Bought it to tide me over until I could land a Series X. Been using it to play gamepass games since there’s no disc drive. Plays most games at 1080p 60 FPS. Not as good as a PC or the series X but it’s good enough. The 512 GB SSD is a weakness for the console. After the operating system for the Xbox is accounted for, you get like 350ish GB leftover. An external HDD or one of those SSD expansion cards are definitely recommended in an era where games are routinely 100GB or larger.
