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.

    Get the Xbox Series X over this.

    I know people have different resasons to get the lower end models, but I'd recommend getting the Xbox Series X over this one. In my opinion, 512 gb of memory is not enough. I mean sure you can get more storage, but you might as well spend a little more and get the disc version. This would be a cool gift, but I'd personally get the X over the S any day.

    It's almost amazing that the Series S retails for $300. Its small size is also a huge plus. I'm content to play digital games for now, so the lack of a disc drive is not a problem for me.

    Very happy with the Xbox Series S. I wanted the Series X but it was sold out. Needless to say that the Series S performs amazingly and I am not sure how much better the Series X can be.
