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 like it’s a space saver, I would have preferred not to have repurchase all of the physical copies, but it’s the world we live in I guess. Still gonna give it five stars.

    Great console, the graphics are great. The only negative thing is the storage amount but if you don't play that many games you should have no problem.

    Performs very wells for such a small console. Very good for light gaming at the end of the day. Really enjoyed playing titles such as Elden Ring

    Get the Xbox Series X over this.

    I know people have different resasons to get the lower end models, but I'd recommend getting the Xbox Series X over this one. In my opinion, 512 gb of memory is not enough. I mean sure you can get more storage, but you might as well spend a little more and get the disc version. This would be a cool gift, but I'd personally get the X over the S any day.

    Glad Best Buy was able to offer me the opportunity to purchase this. It’s worth. 299 it’s a great value but is definitely not a great as the series x for me because there’s no disc drive unfortunately.

    Preforms well smaller then a box of cereal so placing anywhere isn’t that hard about the quarter the size of the original Xbox one. Graphics are also a improvement.

    it runs pretty well on my 120hz monitor, runs fortnite, modern warfare, and rocket league smoothly (better than some gaming laptops!), and fits in a backpack for easy carry!

    Good console to buy, I prefer digital due to you giving more space instead of using your cd's or worrying about them to get scratched up. Also the console is small so a lot more space.
