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.

    I’m glad I decided to go with the series S rather the the series X, I had purchased a PS5 and was able to save money with this product. The series S with game pass is a great value!

    Great console, the graphics are great. The only negative thing is the storage amount but if you don't play that many games you should have no problem.

    The Series S is awesome when you have an Xbox Game Pass. I put the Series S in the upstairs TV, while my Series X is on the main TV. The Series S looks nice and is compact.

    A perfect choice for those who don't need physical copies of games. Graphics and speed are great. Recommend you purchase an external hard drive, though because of the smaller SSD.

    I use this as a secondary Xbox Series Console, since it fits nicely on my desk in my office, and works perfectly for streaming and backup gameplay when I am unable to use the Series X.

    Not an XBOX fan but most of my friends play, so I decided to get this version instead of the X and with cross-Gen gameplay this has been great.
