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.

    One Mean Little Box…

    This is a great little box. If you aren’t looking to push 4K this box does it all. It’s fast and silent. Only issue is the small SSD. With today’s game sizes, you’ll be lucky to fit more then a handful of games on it at a time.

    Tiny little guy. I have a Series X as well the big black tower and the Series S is so small comparatively it’s crazy. I don’t personally need the disc drive so the S hooked up to a 1440p monitor is the best of both worlds.

    I hesitated to buy this because there are no titles for the next gen of XBox that you can't play on the XBox One. I picked it up with the Game Pass deal and I am glad I did for the loading times alone. Coming from a Day One XBox One (2013) games load in an instant in comparison to the old XBox One. Solid state drives are amazing. Worth it. I knocked a star off because its 512GB is too small for any next gen console.

    Great console, really see a difference. Get a new gen console for a better budget price with everything I wanted. The only thing I find bothering me is how incredibly small the storage on this console feels now that games are over 100gb each.

    Great for gamepass and cheaper than the x If you have a PS5 get this also gamepass is a great deal and cheaper than buying a gaming pc. Just don't try gamepass streaming it sucks Better to download the games no lag

    A neat small console for 1080p to 1440p digital gaming console which i would highly recommend getting an external storage to install last gen games on also getting game pass for an instant library of really decent line up of current and past games. If you dont have any internet access i highly wouldn't recommend buying since it digital only Overall you get a good product for 300$

    I had to replace my son’s Xbox One (I know it was old and outdated) and replaced it with this Xbox. I love that it’s smaller and faster. My son enjoys it! And for the price it is definitely worth it!

    Spectacular video game console, with access to the entire new generation for a small price, the quality it has in that small space where it was built is impressive, the engineering applied in this console is really new generation.
