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.

    The series S is definitely a good console. I think the no cd aspect. and downloading the games will be the new normal in the near future. I use it as an extension gaming for my second home to keep the titles and save anywhere i go. loading time is much faster that previous gen console Affordable Great job

    Better value in my opinion of both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5. This is very mobile, all you need is a backpack that can hold a laptop and then you can hook it up in a hotel or work etc etc. with the proper tv or monitor you get the 120 refresh rate and it is beautiful.

    So I have the regular Series X but I travel a lot for work so this has been a godsend since I can just stick it in my suitcase and it doesn't take that much space. This is the perfect system if you have Gamepass.

    Bought it for my son. He loves it great fun only issue he has had is with the space. We ended up also getting him an expansion hard drive because he could only have 3-4 games with the 512.

    Great console! I just upgraded to this from the One S and it’s way better. The storage could be better but for $300 it’s a really good pickup.

    Purchase this system for my daughter. She doesn’t ask for much often so when I saw this on her Wish list, I knew it was a go. Purchased on sale which was great! She loves her new gaming system and plays with friends and family online too! Happy New Year!
