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.

    as an avid ps5 user, I wanted to be able to also play xbox exclusives and this was the perfect next gen upgrade if you cant find series x. combine it with game pass ultimate and you wont have to spend more on games

    How they put so much power in this thing is amazing. Althouugh targeted as a 1440p machine some games may play at a dynamic 4k, a game like Outriders plays surprisingly well at 4k/60 frame rates. Worth every$300 which is crazy good value.

    Honestly, the Series S isn't really my thing. The purchase came mainly for my partner and our kids, who see great use out of it. It offers a good price > performance ratio and will likely keep many people happy, though as I'm more of an enthusiast with the hobby, had I been purchasing for myself, I'd have gone with a Series X or a PS5 as I already have a more than capable enough for my needs PC for gaming.

    This is the first Xbox I have owned since the original and it's awesome! Game Pass is worth every dollar, the controller is super comfy, and the graphics are spectacular. The best thing was that it was available!

    This is the Best Console you can Buy right now... Because its the only one in stock. If you can find a series X get that. but it you just want an upgraded performance this is smaller and way better than the xbox one x

    Bought this for my son. He loves it for his gaming monitor. Didn’t need all the 4K extras but he says it’s super fast and small enough to put on his desk without taking up a whole lot of room. Had to buy the extra memory for it tho.

    Overall the load times are super fast once you experience games being loaded on the series s and you go back to the other consoles you'll immediately notice the difference between the too.. Games like cod run smoothly in comparison to older consoles.. Is it a must have upgrade I would say no unless you just want to upgrade to have the latest and greatest quick resume is pretty awesome as well.

    Absolutely love my Series S. Got this because I couldn't find a Series X, and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely feels next gen compared to my One X. If you know what you are getting when you buy this it will exceed your expectations.

    This Xbox is amazing, it runs so smooth and fast! The video quality is also nothing short of amazing! I love it so much that I’m thinking of getting my wife one as well once it’s available again. I’ve looked everywhere and there’s no luck.

    The Xbox S was better then my expectations, I wanted the PS5 but know I won’t get one for a while. The Xbox S is lacking in storage space but makes up for the great graphics and speeds the system works at. Very happy with my purchase

    Best valued xbox in the new lineup. All the games work great and it upscaled 4k, which is as good as 4k in my eyes. The only thing of concern is the storage. If you plan to play 10+ games at a time a hard drive is suggested.
