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.

    Easy set-up and performance better than expected. Gamer pass is the best option. Gigablast connection makes this console even better.

    PS4 and PS5 sucks. Tired of waiting for the ps5 and I’m tired of the ps4. This Xbox series S delivered on what I wanted and exceeded my expectations.

    Amazing came on time and excellent condition would definitely recommend for a price of 300 that’s cheaper than the xbox one x and it’s better than that

    The system works great and everything is as expected. My only complaint would be I got an Xbox game pass trial in the package and when I entered the code apparently someone had already used it so I couldn’t so not sure if someone instore took the code and used it before.

    For $300 you can have a next gen console. When you add gamepass, its the best deal in gaming. Im not sure how anyone could sargue against it.

    Good warranty system available, product works great. Came packaged well. The box was a little bit sharp and gave me a paper cut, but not a big deal.

    Peppy and far better than the Xbox One by leaps and bounds! The lack of new content and some 4k bells and whislte = don't give a hoot. Works just fine on my 4k.

    Awesome little system. I couldn't find the Series X anywhere so I settled for this one until I can upgrade later in. Not disappointed in the least.

    Would have given a five star if it weren’t for the controller, nothing you to with Best But but everything to do with Microsoft. If you’ve ever owned an Elite version controller then your going to be really disappointed with the controller. Feels like a fourth market used copy.
