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.

    Picked this up back when consoles were extremely scarce and loved every minute I used it. It's not as powerful as the Series X but it holds its own as long as you don't mind that all of your games are digital. I mostly use it when I'm traveling and want to game in hotel rooms.

    Couple reasons why you would want the high end one, but for me this was perfect. First off I am over having discs and honestly over buying games. So I got this for the sole purpose of using the Gamer Pass subscription with this. Perfect for that plus it's a rather small console compared to previous generations. If you don't care about discs, I would definitely recommend getting this.

    Xbox Series S is a charm

    After many failed attempts to purchase a PS5 and Xbox Series x, I got lucky and nabbed the Xbox Series S. I’m a PlayStation guy but I did own a few Xbox 360s and the original Xbox and I’m really liking the backwards compatibility. There aren’t any series x/s games out atm that interest me but I’m really enjoying faster loading and smoother gameplay on the older games available on game pass. With all that said, I’m happy with my purchase.

    Surprisingly this is my favorite console. While not as powerful as its big brother it is by far the best value in gaming. Storage is too small but i really use it to stream games from GamePass on my secondary TV.

    I pleasantly surprised by the performance and graphics quality of this Series S. Got it at a great price after using my Best Buy rewards. Despite being 1440p, the resolution is an after thought at the distance we sit from our TV. The steady 60 fps makes a world of a difference. I’m loving this system more than I thought I would. We love our PlayStations and glad we now have an Xbox as well. Gaming heaven.
