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.

    Amazing game console! I had to upgrade from my old xbox as it was slow and eventually died on me, and this one is just perfect!

    Get the "S" if you are on a budget

    The console is a great way to step into the next gen scene with upscaled resolution. Yes "upscaled" because it isn't as crisp and clear as the series "X" but you can't tell unless you hold up a magnifying glass against the pixel screen. CONS: 1) The console heats up laying down and standing, 2) The console randomly freezes or shuts off possibly due to heat 3) Not enough storage space for games 4) Doesn't support good quality stream apps 5) Attaching a camera to the console causes stutter 6) cameras appear low quality and lag quite severely PROS: 1) games are being upgraded to "X"S" 2) games are upscaled 3) you get to enjoy xbox pass which has better games than sony 4) xbox has the best controller on the market

    Absolutely amazing. Stunning picture and unparalleled gaming experience. Some of the games that have been enhanced for s/x are mesmerizing. Diskless gaming is a plus, and reduces clutter and change for games to be damaged or misplaced.

    Amazing value. Using the fsp boost to get 60 fps with my current tv. Load times are amazing even on a standard external drive. I wish the external SSD was more affordable but this works for now. Game pass is an excellent value.

    Storage size is a downfall, but if you can accept the slower load times it's not bad. I used my 3TB external and I don't see any issues at all good bridge between the One X and Series X (if you have digital games)

    Had it for about a month and I have to say it’s been a great machine. I’ve owned many Xbox’s and this one by far in regards to functionality, performance, and quality is the best one I have owned.

    System loads up fast can go back and forth between games in an instance.. Got it for me son he clearly notices the visual and gameplay difference.. Should come with 2 controllers and more storage for all the money you spend on the system..

    Great next generation device at a small price. My only gripe about it is that the drive is small, if you want you have to spend like 220 for a ssd, yeah you can buy a hdd but let’s be honest at some point those will be obsolete.

    I bought my series s for a early christmas gift. I have to say the exclusives on xbox are fire. On top of that yku can get Xbox Game Pass that unlocks over 400+ games all for free! Definetly worth the 300!

    I bought this Xbox for my little brother. He had been wanting one for a really long time and was watching for it to be available. Once it was, we ordered it for in-store pickup and it was ready a few days early.

    Love it ! Best investment pound for pound new system looks great running 120 frames at 1440 . unless you got a few thousand dollar tv with hdmi 2.1 to reach 60 frames at 4k on the X . This series S is the answer looks amazing and so small !

    Tinier than the Xbox One which is nice.. Super quiet and super fast. If I were upgrading from the Xbox One the only difference would be the noise the console makes to be honest.. Unless you're buying the Series X then just save your money.
