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.

    Decent gaming system that I primarily use as a Game Pass Machine. The system interface is rather clunky, navigating through system options can feel a bit clunky at times and at others downright obtuse. The hard drive size is a disappointment, as many other reviews in gaming publications have pointed out. The controller feels somewhat cheap and lacks a satisfying tactile experience for me, personally. This is my first Xbox since the 360 and I largely came back because of Game Pass. I would recommend this as a secondary system or perhaps a system for someone who doesn't play a lot or isn't looking for a superior experience.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S for the most part, and that you're a fan of Xbox Game Pass. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015

      Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.

      We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    I'm very happy with the series S. Great graphics and quick load times at an affordable price. The only downside would be that it only has 500 gigs of internal storage. You'll definitely have to buy an ssd down the road.
