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 purchased this purely to take advantage of the Ultimate Game Pass service and could not be happier. The subscription is worth every penny and the system runs so smoothly. My only complaint is the controller not being rechargeable but that is not worth lowering the score.

    Cheaper than the Xbox one X but nearly just as good. This this such a good console if you are looking to play next gen games but don’t want to break the bank.

    The Xbox Series S packs a punch in a small and convenient package. This console gives you an insight into next gen gaming without breaking the bank. Although it lacks in certain areas regarding graphics and overall 4k performance it’s still a solid deal for any casual gamer that can look past those imperfections. For me the Series S was the best choice!

    Bought this as a present for my little brothers birthday and he loves it! This machine is not only much smaller but way more powerful than his origina xbox one. The performance of yhis little machine blew my mind when conpared to the original. Well worth the price tag.

    I only bought this thing to resell. I’ve been a fan of xbox but I knew when both of these consoles dropped this would be the dud. It’s basically worthless... mine as well just keep your xbox one :/ If you wanna waste 299.99 go ahead but i’m going to just spend the pennies more for the Series X

    I was looking to upgrade from my Xbox One and decided to go with the Series S since I am only a “casual gamer.” I’m glad I did! The counsel performs very well and the games look amazing. The Series S was a great upgrade.

    This a great option for last generation gaming if you can’t find any other in stock or they want to charge you over the original price. It’s a great gaming console, with a lot of games and simulators. Very happy with it!.

    It’s early, but this console is far superior to the original Xbox One. Audio, graphics, speed are all top notch. Older games look amazing, movies are crisp. Couldn’t be happier. I’m using an hdmi 2.0 cable with an LG OLED tv, so haven’t even unlocked the full potential of the console.

    I liked everything about this xbox the graphic was nice the frame rate was great. The way it plays my games are smooth and no lagging but the only problem that i had out of it was the storage. It takes 2 big games and the storage it already full like come on. My xbox one enhanced has at least 12 games in there and the majority of my games are big sized. With most of them being assassin creed or call of duty. If this xbox cant even handle 2 games without being full then i would reconsider but other than that it was great. P.S for all the i ppl who are gonna say why dont u just buy an external drive its much easier. Do you have the money to give me that if not oh well.

    For the price its really an outstanding choice for people who may not have a 4k TV to run the main benefits of the series X, storage so far has not been an issue. Especially since storage has always been easy to manage on xbox. It runs great and is a very powerful quiet little machine.
