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.

    Nothing wrong with the Series S, but I immediately had buyers remorse simply because I couldn’t find value in what Microsoft had to offer at the time. System worked flawlessly, though.
