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 new console. I didn't notice a difference in this console then the series x. I'm just as happy if not happier with this. I don't use disk though. None of the only 360 games even worked with the series x anyways.

    Nothing on the market beats value for tour money here. Yes the space is small but you can always move games around to make space. Perfect for anyone in their mid 20s who has a life.

    Pretty good system but tbh I’ve had the game pass but found more 360 games more interesting lol bought black ops 2 with dlc and have been playing that since I bought it. In my opinion PlayStation is better overall.

    Awesome! Super fast and much smaller than expected. It looks sleek, sounds quiet, and is really portable. It's also nice and clean and seems well built.

    Xbox should be smacked in the face for the amount of storage they gave. 1 game is enough to take half you lucky if they are good titles. No real difference Xbox 1 to series s if you don’t have a 4K tv so far the games play faster so I’m glad loading isn’t bad at all.

    Best Buy saved my Christmas 2020, lost sleep trying to get a next gen, it was well worth it, My Xbox series S makes it bit more convenient to get my game on daily with cut loading times and the quick resume.

    Thankful that I was able to get at least one of the popular systems in time for a Christmas gift. The new smaller sleek design and all digital so no more having to buy game disc.

    This powerful lil console is pretty ok...sure it doesn't have much storage, it doesn't display native 4k and only sport an 1440p display. But it is very pleasant to the eyes visually and I am enjoying messing around with its features ,tweaking and fine tuning them. Series S isn't so bad I've played forza and gears of War 5 on it..gets a 4 outta 5 from me.

    This is much cheaper than the series x but definitely as good once it was finally in stock. My recommendation is getting this with a storage extension though because it only comes with 500 gb. 10/10
