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.

    It's almost amazing that the Series S retails for $300. Its small size is also a huge plus. I'm content to play digital games for now, so the lack of a disc drive is not a problem for me.

    The Xbox Series S, is a next-generation console, I recommend it since you can link it with gamepass and play everything you imagine. It has an accessible price and has great capacities.

    Very happy with the Xbox Series S. I wanted the Series X but it was sold out. Needless to say that the Series S performs amazingly and I am not sure how much better the Series X can be.

    Got this for my fiance for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. Plays CoD very well, and you can tell that the hardware has been updated. It's like going from a family sedan to a high power roadster.

    Not an XBOX fan but most of my friends play, so I decided to get this version instead of the X and with cross-Gen gameplay this has been great.

    Great console. I have both the series s and series x and both are awesome. If you don't want to upgrade to a 4k tv there is nothing wrong with picking up a series s. Games play great on both systems.
