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 system works great and everything is as expected. My only complaint would be I got an Xbox game pass trial in the package and when I entered the code apparently someone had already used it so I couldn’t so not sure if someone instore took the code and used it before.

    My favorite console of the current generation. Fast start up is a plus. Storage capacity isn't the best, but that's what they make external drives for.

    I like XBox but the cost versus content is not very good. They need to have more memory in a system that relies on digital downloads.

    Awesome little system. I couldn't find the Series X anywhere so I settled for this one until I can upgrade later in. Not disappointed in the least.
