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.

    I was was lucky enough to get this when there were very little available. Its still working great, i use it everyday. The xbox is desinged to be more than just a game console, it works as an all around media device. The menues are very easy to navigate (much more so than the playstation) in terms of use other than gaming.

    The series S is in a weird positional where it only has value for gamepass or exclusive titles. That being said if you're a gamer for the past 10 year and play game daily then gamepass will have nothing you haven't played already and you'll be stuck staring at a store page waiting for an exclusive. The form factor and size is nice, if you get one for $250 during the holidays then thats even better but other than a device that just covers my shelf it gets used once every 3-4 months
