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 Xbox for budget and/or PlayStation fans! I own a PS5 but I decided to buy this to play the game pass games and it works wonderful for that! Also super slim and small so it fits everywhere. 10/10

    Definitely recommend for casual gamers, or people who play only 1 or 2 games. Needs more storage but besides that it works just as well as the series X

    With fast internet connection, this is uncompetitive gaming machine. I really love it. Its ssd blazingly fast. I am more likely on fos side for gaming not resolution. 2k is enough with monitors.

    I'm always going for the best Xbox and since the Series X is currently unattainable, I decided to get this in the meantime. I'm coming from the Project Scorpio so the resolution drop is noticeable for me, but this thing plays games way better with the higher frames. 1 star loss because of the on board 512gb memory, it's 2021 and games are huge.

    Got this on a whim after wanting another Xbox for a while. It’s a good little one. The GB’s are not as much as we wanted only about 300 GBs to download games which ain’t much. But we solved this by getting the WB external hard drive and it works well with this Xbox S no problems so Far. We’re glad we have a Xbox again.

    Got it only because the series X is harder to find than Atlantis, but I’m very glad we did. It is significantly faster than previous gen and games that are optimized for series s/x look amazing!!!

    Wow! I love this machine and the curbside shopping experience was great. I bought this late one Friday night and picked it up the following morning. No regrets. Love Game Pass, too.

    Compact and powerful. I didn't own any xbox games on disc as I was upgrading from a PS4 so having a drive wasn't necessary. I bought a 2TB external HD to expand storage space and it's now it's perfect.

    aside from the storage which is also an issue on series x, the series s does pretty the same exact thing my series x does for half the price. personally I love the size of it the most

    It came in a box with lots of padding so it won’t move around. This is my first console and it’s awesome. It has pretty good graphics and it doesn’t glitch a lot. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
