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.

    Like my disc less version as just a casual gamer and don't use it for DVDs works well and decent deals will need more storage space if you want more games ready

    After many failed attempts to purchase a PS5 and Xbox Series x, I got lucky and nabbed the Xbox Series S. I’m a PlayStation guy but I did own a few Xbox 360s and the original Xbox and I’m really liking the backwards compatibility. There aren’t any series x/s games out atm that interest me but I’m really enjoying faster loading and smoother gameplay on the older games available on game pass. With all that said, I’m happy with my purchase.

    This little console is amazing small and powerful the only reason it gets 4 stars is because it gives me 2 problems when I press the Xbox button on the controller to bring up the home screen sometimes it won’t come up it’ll just make the Xbox noise but won’t bring up the Home screen or the power off screen the Xbox isn’t frozen I can still play the game I just can’t turn it off or switch to a different game my second problem is sometimes it’s like my controller just disconnects even though it’s on but when I’m playing a game sometimes I can’t move and the game still isn’t frozen i’ll have to take the batteries out of the controller then put them back in for it to work again

    The purchase was very quick and convenient! The xbox itself has been amazing and amazing performance and stability. Perfect for my first console, setup took 5 mins or less! Only complaint is they should include a rechargable battery to save waste byt I bought some anyway.
