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.

    My son is a huge PlayStation kid and I was hesitant purchasing this since I know nothing about gaming but man, I scored points because he keeps saying how epic it is and super fast!

    You'll be amazed at how tiny this console is. If you want a budget friendly way to get into next-gen or travel a lot for work and like having a console with you, this is the choice to make.

    As a low cost alternative to the much harder to find Series X this tiny little console delivers a lot! Runs cool and quiet and looks beautiful on a 4K display.

    My son is enjoying the new Xbox. As the one that pays the bills, I’m disappointed that there is a fee to play with others. I’m not a gamer myself, so I don’t claim to understand everything that goes into creating games. Getting a console that then requires a monthly fee to do things he could do on his iPad for free is disappointing.

    Certain games will not allow higher graphics options and force frame rate priority, even my older xbox gave me the option. This is an improvement speed wise but was surprised at the apparent down grade of video options which is hard to believe as I thought the video card was supposed to be better then the one x.

    The new Xbox series S is great. It is on digital play so if you are used to using disks this is not for you. I recommend its less bulky than the Xbox one so that's a plus. Great overall.

    Easily the best value for a next-gen console. Combined with Game Pass and cloud gaming, the Series S makes it a great time to be an Xbox gamer.
