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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    MICROSOFT LISTEN - Need Disk Trade In Program!!!

    Great machine ... speed, crisp graphics, super sound. My only complaint is with Microsoft. I have a number of disc based XBOX One and 360 games that are compatible with the Series S however I have to rebuy them; there should be a disc trade in program ... I'd even be ok paying a nominal $5 trade in fee
