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.

    A great console for a reasonable price. I have been waiting to get my Series S for a couple months, but it has been sold out everywhere. I finally snagged it here, and received it within two days. The console itself is surprisingly small, but powerful. Runs everything from COD to Forza amazingly. Coming from a Xbox one to the Series S is a game changer for any casual play, who wants to have the option to really exceed in their gameplay. I would recommend it to anyone who is on the Market for a new Xbox.

    Pretty decent budget console with good gaming experience. If you don’t need all the bells and whistles of the series x, this is the one for you.

    Does what it's meant to! Awesome price for what it can do. Digital only! Definitely recommend gamepass subscription (about 15 dollars/ month like a Netflix subscription) along with this as it'll benefit from that the most. Memory is an issue but just give it a year or so to solve that seeing as A) this is literally the first year of next gen gaming (current gen now) and B) it happened during a global pandemic. So for what it's doing during this time this is definitely a must for this holiday, it is very affordable

    Series S Review

    Very good console for the price of what it does. For $299 you are getting a pretty good next Gen console for that price with 120fps, and increased loading times than the Xbox One. The Quick Resume is a very handy feature so you can jump back into a game from another game from where you left off. If you are looking to get a Next Gen console and mostly play digital games, I would highly recommend the Xbox Series S. For the value of it, it does pretty well for most games. In conclusion this is a very good Next Gen Console.

    Xbox Series S

    I purchased this Xbox series s and it is worth the money, have not experienced any problems yet and is enjoying the system. I prefer PlayStation so I thought I’ll get the cheaper version of the new Xbox since I don’t game much on the Xbox systems but it’s worth it if you don’t already own any Xbox games that requires the disc version and if you run out of space you can buy either the 512ssd for 129.99 or 1Tssd for 219.99, which is expensive but I’m sure in the near future the price will drop.
