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.

    Love it! My last Xbox was the very first series Xbox as a kid. Big and bulky but awesome! Now that I have a kid of my own he loves this and bitter sweet moment!

    My xbox one broke down at the beginning of the year and finally found this replacement. This little device paired with the new storage device is the simple set up i was looking for.

    Coming from a non-pro PS4, the startup and load times are lightning fast! It didn’t take long to get used to the controller either. I don’t like changing the batteries tho >:(

    An upgrade into the IoT world. Faster, smaller, sleeker and an overall better value than previous versions. Performance is awesome, flexibility is high and specs at price point are impressive.

    Set this up in my living room TV at 4k60FPS because that's what my TV supports. (I believe it's actually 1440P upscaled to 4k) For the budget Xbox this is really nice. Worth it for me to save the money on the series X since I'll only play Console only games(MLB and maybe halo one day) on it or some games for the kids will be on it.

    Amazing product. Works as intended, but exceeds expectations when coming from old gen. Totally worth the $300 upgrade. Best price for this level of gaming

    Great console & you can play remotely on your phone or from your TV to another room! PS5 can't even do that which is why i ended up going with XBOX

    It's not the X but it gets the job done. Bought this for my baby bro for his Birthday. He was definitely very pleased with it...Especially coming from the original Xbox 1.

    This console is a steal, definitely worth the $300, this can also be used as an emulator for ps2 xbox, dreamcast games etc, and fast loading times so much in one tiny console
