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.

    Xbox series S packs a punch especially for the size of the product. 10/10 would recommend buying if it’s available. Had a slight delivery delay but that was through UPS once it was shipped. Best Buy keeps me updated about my product and made sure it got there as soon as possible.

    Got this as a secondary console to my ps5 to play games on game pass. I have been playing Forza Horizon 5 the last couple of days and it has been amazing. Even with the upscale graphics, I couldn’t tell difference between upscale 4K and native 4K. Overall amazing for the price

    This is a small Xbox that fits perfectly in my media center and works perfectly for my needs. I’m able to download third party apps and games, as well as access Xbox Game Pass which is a pretty great value. It runs everything I need. I highly recommend it for the price.

    A great system for a decent price for a non-desk gaming console. The graphics are not bad either and will play 4K if you have a 60 frames per second or 120 per second TV. You going to love game pass to because You only pay nine dollars per month. Trust me game pass is going to be everything!

    Love this XBOX, I use it when I travel. Small enough to fit in my backpack and easy enough to plug in and use at hotels.

    Great product for your buck. However I will encourage on purchasing the 1tb sea gate drive. As this console will only give you around 360 something SSD storage space (to use). Love the load times (just as fast as the series x) quick resume is slightly faster on this console vs the series x but we talking milliseconds. Graphics are great however because of the gpu power is a 3rd of the se series x power you can see some choppiness. “Things in the far will load”

    I bought this for my son, he loves his Bornday present. It's "Next Gen" enough for hom to get the benefits of the higher fps & enhanced graphics, yet easily fit in his room and easy on my wallet. I wasn't sure of the Series S, I own a Series X since launch. However I'm sold on the system.

    phenomenal value for a next gen experience! I have a hard time telling the difference on my 40" 4k screen from my SX console in 4k on my 55" if money is an issue or you need a second room xbox do not hesitate with the Series S, I love how small it is compared to the hulking ps5 and fridge SX

    This console works great and is a huge jump from the older generations. Not a lot of issues with lag that I've noticed. I am considering on purchasing a Series X though because of how powerful it is. But for someone on a budget, this console will work great for you.

    Decent but not Crazy

    The Xbox Series S is unfortunately a bit underwhelming and often times a bit frustrating. The networking gear on it is not vamped up or powerful in any way which really sucks because its a download only console (like why). Besides that point it also tends to close applications occasionally. Lastly the NEXT GEN game catalogue has just been really underwhelming this console generation. It runs really well as a media hub for your home theatre (ie, runs your apps and shows well)] Controllers have stick drift often and storage you can download a half a game and a backstreet boys CD and hit max capacity.

    I was a PlayStation guy. Had been since PlayStation 1-4. But I made the switch to Xbox series S. Best switch ever for me. Very powerful compact gaming unit. I have had it since Christmas 2022. Never an issue.

    I didn't expect this thing to do 120 frames. and the upscaling with 360 games is also really well done. also super small so it was easy to put in my entertainemnt area. overall I really love it
