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.

    What can I say. I was very skeptical about this. I had an XB1X and was thinking the series s was going to be a step down. I was flat wrong. This thing is a huge upgrade. Fast, and sleek. I have it mounted behind my wall mounted 42inch 4k tv. Can’t even tell it is there. The one draw back is the storage. I did get the sea gate expandable memory card and it is better than good

    Great console doesn’t take up any space on your dresser or wherever you would put it and for the digital only lovers I would highly recommend this console now you like to play the older OG Xbox and 360 games then get the series x it’s much easier to play whatever game you want

    Excellent console for a very reasonable price. Downloading games and playing on new faster drives have been a night and day difference from past consoles. This is a great Xbox for those only looking to go next gen and not necessarily going full 4K. Size is small, appealing and can fit in most entertainment centers with ease. Definitely a good way to go into the next gen of gaming.

    I've really enjoyed this little device since I've purchased it. I use it primarily for GamePass and the occasional xbox exclusives. I have a PS5, but having the form factor of the Xbox Series S, plus the lack of physical games, makes this device easy to take with me on long trips. I think this is a great device, my only grip is the little amount of storage in this digital only device.

    I had doubt on getting the Series S but in the current age, it felt nice to be able to buy it online and walk in the store to pick it up (or go curbside). The console is great for people that cannot get the Series X or just want something inexpensive. It is a fun console and I am glad to play on the thing.

    Was one of the lucky ones I guess on preorder launch day that was able to wait it out and refresh 100,000 times. I’m loving it so far. Load times and graphics are just obviously better than my Xbox one. Didn’t need a disc drive and I’m not gaming in 4K 120fps so the series s was in my wheelhouse. No regrets and tbh, the thing was a lot smaller than I was expecting. Packaging was great and the new controller feels great.

    Smaller than it looks online

    My kids had been waiting for this Xbox to be in stock forever. Once it was in stock I purchased and we are very happy with our purchase. Only thing we noticed was that the Xbox is a lot smaller than depicted online. It’s okay because our Xbox One literally stopped working a month before we ordered this one. This Xbox doesn’t require as much counter space as the Xbox one and we love that!

    Awesome little console with no load time and amazing graphics. Really impressed especially for the price. There’s very little storage but I knew that already and got tired of waiting for the X to be available. Could always add storage or upgrade to the X later. I recommend purchasing a chargeable battery for the controller as the AAs don’t last too long and you’ll spend more money changing them out

    Fantastic value, especially if you have the extra ssd storage. I’ve owned this and the series X. Extremely happy I have this one now. I have seen no differences yet between this and the X. I don’t want the physical copies of games so going all digital is perfect. Microsoft made a wonderful gaming console. The UI is smooth, and I’ve had zero graphical issues with games.
