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.

    Great System!

    Amazing graphics and realism. Great gaming system for the price. The restriction of not having a drive limits the ability to take advantage of sales on physical games, but other than that, nothing negative to say. I've been really enjoying Flight Simulator on this device, and it looks wonderful! One other negative is that I have never used X-Box before, so I'm having some trouble getting used to how to navigate. More instructions would be helpful.

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. I really didn't think I was gonna be able to find one in time but I'm grateful that best buy put protocols in place to make it harder for bots to grab them all before anyone else had a chance. My husband loves it and has no complaints so far.

    The Series S is a game changer in everything equipped. Im purchasing a expansion card cause im gonna keep this for sure. The graphics and even the controllers feels great and powerful. Glad i got the drop today. Truly an amazing experience thus far. Better than PS5

    Fits great on my son's desk. It's quiet but smooth. Great for 1080p or 1440p resolutions. Awesome deal for the technology you get with this machine. I would recommend getting the expansion card that is made for the new Xbox's, if you're planning on downloading a lot of games.

    Perfect console for anyone. It looks good and runs great. Only downside is the amount of storage but a hard drive is an easy add on

    Great console to have if u lack space in your entertainment center and if your living on a budget. It’s a win also if you don’t care about disk games, but the only bad thing about it, is the memory in it. But you can always upgrade it.

    Excellent machine for $299. It’s small and quiet. Switched from PS4 and it’s night and day from graphics and speed. The controller is much better and gamepass has a lot of great titles. I would recommend an external drive for extra storage until the expansion card comes down in price.

    Very fast loading times and great features for the price. Only issue is the limited storage which can be remedied with an external hard drive. You won’t get the loading speed if you use games on the external drive, but just switch games between it and the ssd and you’ll be fine.

    I couldn’t believe I managed to snag this. So excited. Works amazing. You do have to keep in mind you may need an external hard drive as there is no disc drive so you will need space to store your digital games. Otherwise for the price it’s a great deal.

    Best Buy had this in stock before Christmas. I was leaving the store and noticed a few behind the registers. I asked if they were available and was able to buy for my son. The console is not that big and my son loves it using Xbox Game pass.

    First Xbox ever and it works great. Getting in and out of games is fast and the controller is excellent. The user interface is a bit tricky to navigate, especially compared to Nintendo and PlayStation. Overall it is solid for gaming and I would definitely recommend picking one up.

    Love my new Apple Watch. Works so much better than my series 2. Selection was great. Ordering through the app was easy and the delivery was sooner than expected. But the fact that it was on sale was the reason I made the purchase.

    Really wanted a Series X but had to settle for the S and I am not disappointed. Games load within 8-20 seconds, The frame rate is immaculate. It's so small yet so powerful. Would recommend buying if you can't afford or simply just can't get a Series X.
