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 as a secondary console to my PS5. I didnt expect to use it often, but once I signed up for gamepass this became my primary system.

    Solid console at an affordable price. Can't complain too much but I do think the X is a lot better than the S. If you can afford the X, the benefits are worth the upgrade price.

    I’m glad I decided to go with the series S rather the the series X, I had purchased a PS5 and was able to save money with this product. The series S with game pass is a great value!

    Very compact and light weight, easy to transport and move. Could use some extra storage but that’s nothing an external hard drive can’t fix.

    Purchased this since all other consoles are sold out. Best console for the price especially if you have high speed internet in order to download all digital games. 120k FPS is a very welcomed upgrade.

    crazy how small yet powerful this machine is! And it's SILENT. Only issue is that the actual usable storage is 370gb give or take and that is only good enough for 2-3 games these days. Be aware of that!

    Great next gen console for a low price. Unless you’re needing the ability to play in 4k or the storage this is definitely worth every penny. Haven’t had any problems so far and am loving my purchase!

    I use this as a secondary Xbox Series Console, since it fits nicely on my desk in my office, and works perfectly for streaming and backup gameplay when I am unable to use the Series X.

    A perfect choice for those who don't need physical copies of games. Graphics and speed are great. Recommend you purchase an external hard drive, though because of the smaller SSD.

    Amazing value for a 'budget system". Games load fast and look great at 1440p. I am mainly a PlayStation user but this console is perfect for when I feel like downloading Xbox games and more on gamepass!
