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.

    The xbox series X’s little brother is no slouch. I feel comfortable playing the wide array of games available. First person shooters, RPGs, triple A games and indies this thing does it all for a very low and unbeatable price! It also is surprisingly small and easy to store. It’s not heavy but it surprised me by how solid it feels.

    Bought this to replace the Xbox 360. Design is sleek and is great for a casual gamer. Recommend for kids to replace all the different gadgets they have in their rooms (thanks boxes, etc)

    Great little machine. Playing outriders and other games at 60fps makes all the difference. Super fast loading , on/off startup is fast. About 3 seconds. And plays great with game pass

    Was surprised how compact it was. Works perfect for my gaming style I have 5 games downloaded and it’s almost at capacity so if you are a heavy gamer that plays larger games just get the X

    Not want it was cracked up to be. Price is great. But wait for the S/X will be worth the extra money. I play Destiny and Borderlands both games have problems with jerky play and skips. Hopefully cloud gaming will come to this console. My be the fix it needs.

    This machine is amazing! This is basically an Xbox one X with an SSD. If you are planning on playing a lot of indie games or less intensive games, then this is all you need.

    Perfect for what I need. I play video games occasionally when I have time and like to bring it with me when I go places sometimes. With it being so lightweight it’s easy to being with me.
