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.

    The Xbox series s is a great console to have if you have digital games that you play I wanted that console so I don’t buy physical disc anyway so everyone should buy it because it is a budget system to have.

    It isn’t the console my son wanted , but he’s very happy with it. He found it’s better to download the games then go out and buy them. It also takes up less room then he expected.

    Bought this for my buddy but originally was trying to get a Series X for him and we all know how that’s going right now. He’s had no problems whatsoever and is a really happy guy.

    While this is supposed to be the slightly downgraded variant to the series X, I find it an amazingly good option. It's small, quiet, and works well. For $300 you can really fail!

    Well, it’s a one x in a slimmer form without a disk drive and smaller storage. It’s crazy how small this unit is. It’s less than half the size of the x and like 1/4 size of the ps5. This is so small and light I am going to use it as my traveling console, kinda sad that I can’t put disks in it though, but I am going to attempt to use an external Blu-ray drive.

    Coming from a Xbox one S to this was quite the improvement. Using it for a 1080p setup and the improvement was phenomenal. The storage could be better, but the price is right. So far very impressed.
