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.

    This is a scaled down version of the Xbox Series X. Its really not that bad though. We still get 4k60 w Forza Horizon. Be sure to pick up the game pass as well; its a nice discount. Also, we love that the unit doesn't take up too much real estate. The thing I don't seemingly like is the UI as its not that intuitive.

    This is the next gen console that comes with a next gen experience. Very fast download and load up speeds. Quick resume is the new feature that all gamers should be very excited about.

    Love the game selection, download speed, and graphics are good. Bought this for my son and we were both impressed. We also have the PS5 but this one is a good complimentary system.

    Smaller than expected works fast. Quick resume has a few glitches but really helps get back in the game quicker. Only downside is optimized games for it, but more keep coming out each day.

    I think it is an excellent console because although it is very small, all the power it offers is great, the only thing I miss is using discs but I'm getting used to it.

    Love this system, I was unable to find a series x unfortunately but this was a great alternative with similar performance. And at a cheaper price point.

    This is great machine when coupled with Game Pass. It's not as good as the Series X of course, but it's much cheaper. If you're on a budget, the Series S is great choice.

    Great Budget Console

    Great entry console to enter "XBOX Ecosystem". The load times are amazing compared to the previous generations. Paired this with game pass ultimate and it's perfect for a casual gamer. My only issue is the hard drive capacity. You get about 300+GB for games. Would definitely recommend adding an SSD for backward compatibility games.

    Great system for it being next gen and the smaller version of the Xbox series. Great graphic visuals, good price, quick load times. The only thing is that there could be more hard drive space, you will want to buy an external hard drive or install an internal hard drive yourself.
