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.

    Awesome, this system is flawless. The unit wasn’t available for what seemed like ever and then it was there, right before my eyes. Not sold out my mind said. I dare not believe it, my monthly budget hoped it was not true but it was. Now I got the new Xbox and it rocks. I am going to purchase one of the large companion external hard drive that is available to me. No matter how many gigabytes I get I always NEED more. I need those gigs.

    Don't be fooled by the "less powerful" tag that comes along with this console. You're gonna get the next gen experience for a great value. COD Cold War, NBA 2k21 and Dirt 5 run buttery smooth and look beautiful on this console. As far as cons go, the expandable memory card is a must. A MUST! Games are huge now and the base storage will be used up in a short period of time. I know 200 bucks. . . . BUY IT! You won't regret. Welcome to the Next Generation.

    The Series S is an incredible console for the price. In a world where similar performing gaming PC's can cost up to thousands, getting this punchy little machine for only $300 dollars is mind-blowing. Everything the machine cuts out compared to the Series X, are only things that would improve quality of life. If you don't care about getting that 4K 120 FPS gaming experience, or don't mind uninstalling and downloading games constantly, then yes, the Series S is 100% practical, and well worth the investment. Especially if you are considering investing into other devices like the PS5, or are just strapped for cash. I personally wish there was more storage. If the Seagate expansion card wasn't so expensive, I would give this device 5 stars for sure.

    Very good graphics. Like the slim size compared with my old Xbox One. Plenty of games to be downloaded with a lot of disk space. Very easy to set it up. It's an enjoyable experience to play Horizon 5 on Xbox Series S.

    I have a PS5 and primarily game on PlayStation, however; I was definitely wanting an Xbox as well this generation due to the amount of exclusives in the works for Xbox. This Series S is EXACTLY what I wanted. A cheaper alternative that is still able to play all Series console games. The Series S is best paired with Gamepass. I love this little Box!
