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.

    My son loves this gaming system. I love how I don’t have to buy the disc...don’t have to worry about the breaking or coming up missing. The only down fall was when I had to re-buy the games that we already had because they were on a disc.

    Great little Xbox, good for computer monitor (up to 1440p) but don't expect 4k gaming. Quick resume, game boot up and start up are fast. If 4k and memory are a factor then step up and get the Series X.

    This console is the best!! I had a lot of fun playing. Really convenient too because with the game pass, it allows you to play many games that isn’t available on the switch/ps5.

    As someone who plays games only from time to time, I really enjoy how fast the load times are. This was a great upgrade from the Xbox one. It was a little hard to come by due to Microsoft’s failed launch, but in the end I’m extremely happy.

    How they put so much power in this thing is amazing. Althouugh targeted as a 1440p machine some games may play at a dynamic 4k, a game like Outriders plays surprisingly well at 4k/60 frame rates. Worth every$300 which is crazy good value.

    Great step up from a Xbox One S. Boot and load times are extremely fast, literally night and day from previous generation consoles. Highly recommend the series S if you can't get your hands on a series X.

    I love this console. I love the size of it. The hard drive is to small, but it can be replaced by a external hard drive. Games run and load fast. Planing to buy another one.

    It’s amazing for its price point. It has good graphics and FPS. I love the quick resume feature and it loads games up fast. It’s a travel size console and it’s a great console to get if you’re on a budget, but want to get into the next-gen experience.
