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.

    Its a nice good quality new system overall and its real quiet, i got lucky to even find one because nowdays there in demand with the xbox due to shortages and scalpers buying them and selling them for a rip off price, in the long run its worth the $324 for the system.

    Great upgrade from the past gen, smooth transition for those already accumulated into the XB ecosystem. Using the app to set up your Series S is super quick and easy. Along with quick resume. 4K gaming never looked better and this machine is quiet. Certainly beats PS4.

    I’m really impressed with the power and quality of the Series S. I think it’s a great value compared to the PlayStation 5 and Series X. I’ve always owned a PlayStation in the past but this unit and game pass has won me over.

    This is my first Xbox console. I’ve been a loyal PlayStation owner since the PS1. Bought this console mainly to play Halo. Graphics are excellent! Could have bought the X Series, but only bought this to play one game.

    overall this is a good console for anyone who either doesn't care about 4k or that can't find a Series X or Ps5. games download quick, no framerate dips thus far, fast loading times. main issue i have is the storage. If you want to play games optimized for the Series S/X you will need to make smart use of its 364GB of usable storage or fork out another +$220 for the Seagate 1TB expansion card or get a lower spec HDD or SSD for older unoptimized games.

    It is working like a charm. Slipped it between my two monitors and sometimes I switch between my PC dual display to one monitor. Turn my xbox on to display on my 1080p 240hz monitor and bam! you got the best of both words. Shape and Size is perfect to fit on your desk!

    If you really don’t care about 4K resolution then buy this console. If you aren’t a console fanatic then buy this console. If you don’t care about physical discs or don’t see it as a con then buy this console. If you don’t mind the 330gb of usable storage then buy this console. For this price I think it’s capable of delivering next gen performance at an affordable price. It’s small clean and compact sort of. A neat console for its price point.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for recommending Xbox Series S, especially to players ready to go all-digital in their gaming. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015

      Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.

      We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    My grandson loves it. It’s really small and very quiet. I started downloading all of his games so he should have them his whole life. There is no downside to this purchase. All his old Xbox accessories work with this console.

    It may be the weaker of the two new Xboxes, but you'd hardly notice while playing it. I enjoyed it enough that I purchased a Series X and sold this one to a friend who is loving it. Great if you want a new console without breaking the bank to play new games.

    Series S offers plenty of present-day value considering it only costs $300. It's limited to 1440p resolution and has a claustrophobically small storage space, but it's tiny and quiet, with snappy load times, and can play games at 120 frames per second if your TV can support it.
