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.

    I was skeptical about this little system, but it really good. Not having a disc drive is the only downside, but we game pass I only download 1 or 2 games at a time and then delete them after I beat them and download a new one. With the availability issues of both the series X and PS5, along with the price point of $299, this is a solid choice for anyone looking to get a next gen system.

    A little underpowered compared to the Series X but a nice small and portable console for lesser displays

    The only thing holding this console back is its weak performance and lack of a disk drive. But if its on sale, like around 200 dollars or maybe even less then its amazing.

    The series S is a definite step up from the original Xbox one/one S but if you are coming from the one X just wait until the Series X is more available. The speed upgrade is insane but there aren’t many series S/X games out yet to take advantage of the upgrade. If you buy one of these make sure you have an external hard drive ready to go because I fit 10 games and it was full. Also Game Pass is the best service out for 15 a month.
