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.

    Found a series S on best buy, ordered it online and had it within two days. All after searching since November. Great console and even better with game pass ultimate!

    Without the drive for disk game is a not a problem and price is less the the x style. The speed and loading is super fast. Definitely great at what it can do. Recommend it,

    Totally happy with my purchase, graphics look great on my 4K tv when playing games or streaming. Just bought this and a new TV, big upgrade from my PS4 and 1080p TV.

    Nice console. Cheap and compact also. Plays the same games as the series X at a lower resolution. If u don’t have a 4K tv then this is the next gen Xbox you are looking for.

    I’m really impressed with the size of the unit and what it can do and it’s very quiet and the price is not bad. You will need an external hard drive. Other than that it’s amazing.

    Amazing value for the price. While the graphics are not as good as the Series X, they are still pretty good and next gen is awesome to be able to play now!

    Great console, powerful, a small downgrade from a series X. But for the price, it cant be beat. Smooth 120fps, high quality and fast load times.

    This is the perfect console to get a young gamer, especially if you know that they will be content with the games on GamePass. Its very compact and won't make alot of noise. There are comprimises, obviously, but if your kid is playing this on a 32 inch 1080p television, this is perfect.

    This was bought as a Christmas gift and suffice to say, it is a hit. A number of games have been installed, and still running ok with storage to spare.

    Great visuals, even if it doesn't quite do 4k gaming (it's 2k). Nevertheless, for the price and availability, it's a great deal for most younger gamers (for an 11 year old).
