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.

    Performance has been good, I do not like this controller much especially compared to the default PS5 controller. I don't want to purchase the premium controller due to the cost. The rest of the console is great, and I love how small it is. The speed of loading is good...

    Great value at the lower price. Powerful enough to run most Xbox games at 1080p smoothly. Slim design fits in tight space. Great gaming product!

    Solid upgrade over my launch model Xbox one. Games load quickly, graphics are good enough for me (I am a casual gamer now that I am a parent).

    Purchased online during the holidays when the gaming system was hard to find. I was extremely pleased with the curbside pickup once my item arrived in store.

    Xbox Series S is all I need. I don’t have physical games so this one does it all. The graphics are great, I have an average smart 4K tv and quality is great.

    Being that is pure chaos to get one of the big boy systems this is a good change of pace while the 120hz is nice the graphics aren’t the best obviously at 299.99 you get what you pay for here I’m sure for a lot of people it will work for me not so money long term

    Awesome for its size and price. If you don’t have a 4k tv i would recommend this since you can get 1440 display and 60fps. This is plenty fine for most people.

    It’s a good budget system if you already have a PS5 or Series X. Def a good system for younger kids. Bought for my kids while I have the higher end Series X. If you don’t have either the PS5/SEries X it would be smarter just to save a few more bucks and upgrade to those instead of the series s
