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.

    I was surprised to see how small this is compared to previous generation consoles and something like PS5. Yet, it is very poweful and has great graphics.

    If you’re coming from an Xbox One it will be night and day. If you’re coming from a One X it will still be an amazing difference. Prep for storage management though. An external drive is great even if games cant be played from it because it’s faster to install from a drive than d/l

    Great Console for those who just want to dip their toes into the Next Gen without going all in, plus the Backwards Compatibility is still amazing. And if you get RetroArch on this thing, then the floodgates open up wide.

    My og xbox one was slowing down so I picked this system up. Mostly because series X wasnt available. I do enjoy this S though because its much faster than my og.. Only downside I notice is of course the storage space. Both my external hds work seemlessly.

    Xbox Series S performs exactly how it should for $300. Games play just as good as my Series X and will be very good for entry level gamers.
