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.

    Love this little console. Bought it to tide me over until I could land a Series X. Been using it to play gamepass games since there’s no disc drive. Plays most games at 1080p 60 FPS. Not as good as a PC or the series X but it’s good enough. The 512 GB SSD is a weakness for the console. After the operating system for the Xbox is accounted for, you get like 350ish GB leftover. An external HDD or one of those SSD expansion cards are definitely recommended in an era where games are routinely 100GB or larger.

    I’ll say this swiftly, the Series S with the game pass is the best bang for your buck compared to all next gen console deals so far out.

    Our boys were super excited to receive this for Christmas! I didn't want to deal with the hassle of discs so we went with the Series S. So far no regrets with that. The console was easy to set up and works like a charm. The graphics on the games are excellent. The only regret is that we didn't buy one for each kid! :)

    everything came new exactly as expected the series s is definitely faster than my og 500 gb xbox one from the first launch. this only has 500 gb which i didnt mind because i have a 3tb hard drive but unfortunately any games i have on my hard drive tries to download the “upgraded version” onto my xbox and theres no way to stop it from doing it automatically without turning off auto update. super annoying but i needed a new console and games do load quickly and it works great just that one annoying thing. not to mention one of the only places to buy for $300

    Much better than the Series X for sub-4K gaming

    I downgraded from the Series X because it was overkill for my 1440, 60Hz monitor. Also didn’t have much use for disk drive since I only play on Game Pass. I was very pleased with the size of the Series S. It is relatively so much more portable and a pleasure to haul on a trip or to another room in the house. It is ultra quiet and runs cool. The long-overdue solid state drives virtually eliminate load times. Very pleased with this purchase. If you don’t need the disc drive or 4K, go with this instead.

    I just got the Xbox in the mail today. So far with the few games I installed on it, it runs great. Everything opens really fast. I connected it to my 55 inch 4K TV, which doesn't support the full capabilities this is capable of; the picture quality is great still even though its upscaled to 4K from 1440P. The colors are more intense compared to the Xbox One S that I was upgrading. It does run hot when in 4K mode but it doesn't seem to be an issue. I do wish the internal drive capacity was a lot more though, since newer games take up more space.
