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.

    Box was a little damaged when dropped off, and the video flickers quite frequently on video apps even with the correct video settings, the home button and A button on the controller it came with constantly get stuck and the audio jack makes both of my headsets buzz when chatting online. I honestly preferred my Xbox one x over this, I should have just waited until the series X was available. The positive notes are that downloads, game play and menu response are way faster on the series s and the compact side is a plus.

    Downside is the amount of space that the Xbox software uses eats up a good chunk of the storage and lack of disc drive but other than that it works good.
