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.

    More powerful than you think. I couldn’t wait to get home and play some of the titles that comes with the Game Pass. Very exciting!

    The Xbox is nice with the new graphics, but it is hard to get logged in through my old account with the new Xbox. It does not seem to want to register my old account making my son have to create a new account which has been very frustrating.

    It's small, it's affordable and it runs games like a champ! Add in game pass for access to over 100 games and you'll have fun for years for a minimum price.

    Perfect Console for Me

    I have had Xbox consoles since the beginning. As an all-around media center, I bought Series S to replace S. The console is surprisingly small and even though it no longer has optical connection, HDMI connection does the job for audio connection. It still works with the media remote and the visual quality for all streaming services I use is as good as i expected. I am not concerned with storage and lack of disc drive. I feel that this is a perfect console for me as it was available to me when I wanted to buy it and BestBuy manager made it easy for me to purchase when I traded in my Xbox One S.

    Okay, not as good as the Xbox Series X, but...definitely worth the price. I have had both systems and can tell a SMALL difference with the performance, but overall, this for me was the better choice because of the price being less than the X by about $200!

    Love the new Xbox... I bought the series S reluctantly as I was not able to get the series X. I won’t go into the feature comparison as that is available at several places. Microsoft has finally got this system right for gamers. The instant resume is amazing. I have verified backward compatibility of games all the way back to 360, but only digital purchases work. I do wish Microsoft would bring back Kinect and some way to access disc! I have several docs through different generations and knew that those discs will not work when purchasing. But the series X if you can get one and have a lot of discs, if not the series S is perfect: small and compact.

    This system is amazing. Easy set up and operation for children and adults. Recommend chargeable batteries as regular batteries do not last long in the controller.
