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.

    The older I get the more I move to digital. This console is right up my alley. I got the expansion card for it so the storage isn’t too much of an issue. Would definitely recommend to any gamers out there. May not be quite as powerful as the X, but it does the job pretty well.

    Looked up thhe specs after my purchase and found out this was the same power as the Xbox One X (which i have) was slightly disapointed til I loaded up a game and then saw how fast this thing processed the games. HOLY CRAP! Cyberpunk would take 30-50 secs or more to load and this takes about 5-10. The added ability to play the next generation of games is great too! Considering the Xbox Series X is currently going for $500-600 over the retail value this is a great way to take the first step into the next gen without breaking your wallet.

    Series S for the win

    For 300 you can not do better than this. No need for more expensive items - this thing works great and smooth for everything. Some remarks: if you have huge 4K oled TV - this is not for you and rather go for Series X. There are some games ported from One S - they look terrible graphic wise when Series X enjoys graphics from One X ported games. But there is no difference between this and more expensive model if you use 2K or 1080P monitor.

    For the price of only 300$ you get so much that the xbox one series is lacking, quick resume, fps boost, this console is so quiet no matter what game you are playing. Ive had so much fun playing with my friends all day and never got bored. The controller it comes with is also way better than the xbox one series, These controllers have more grip and the bumpers don’t make noise. I truly recommend you go out and pick your self up an xbox series s.

    I was apprehensive at first with this purchase but was immediately put at ease. This is great for those of us who skipped the xb1 generation and want the next gen experience while we wait patiently for the series X to finally become available. AAA titles look fantastic with this( but keep in mind it’s still nowhere close to the series x) the modern features like NVME storage are a warm welcome as well. If you’re wanting next gen experiences without the scalper premium then I would suggest this hands down!

    This is a great value especially with the game pass included. More storage will probably be necessary if you are a variety gamer however.

    Bought this for my son after getting the Series X in December. With the new updates that are coming out for this baby, don’t sleep on it. If you can find it for now instead of the series, pick it up for a try next gen experience. Fast loading times, quick resume and game pass! The only thing I would say is the memory obviously isn’t up to where it should be but it is upgradeable. Don’t let that stop your from feeling what next gen is really about!
