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.

    Series S I love it

    I had to settle for the series s because I could not find the series x anywhere and when I did find it it was extremely expensive. So with that being said I love my series s. It barely takes up space. Haven't had any issues with downloading or games lagging or anything like that.

    It plays current and upcoming games for a little over $200. Elden Ring alone was worth it to me.The catalog of games available and the ability to play new releases for this amount of money is a great deal. The performance wasn't bad and the quality was decent. Great for kids or people who occasionally play games or who just don't want to fork over 500+ dollar start up cost.

    So this is my first x box. Still learning how it works but so far it’s a ton of fun. My bundle came with a second controller and 3 months of game pass. Forza horizon 5 is a blast. I’m amazed by the graphics. The controllers feel great, love the texture and grip.

    I love how compact this is and how everything loads pretty fast. I added an additional external drive. The graphics are amazing as usual. I don't need a disc as I buy all digital anyway. Would love the system to come out in the future with a bigger hard drive but am happy with the expansion capabilities.

    Excellent console. If it had an external disk drive you could hook up to it, I’d have been sold. I prefer physical media. I buy less of it (beat a larger percentage of the games I do buy) and can resell it down the line. But went with the series x because less pop in and a disc drive

    Great entry level console for those looking to spend time gaming. Along with Game Pass, its an overall great buy for a child or those who would like to spend their downtime gaming.

    Great bang for the buck. If you have a smaller room or do not own a 4K tv its the choice to have. Even witht he 4K its still a nice machine.

    Great system for being the “economic” version! Have t had any issues besides having to move games back and forth from my external storage because it’s not very big. We have 2 of these and 2 of the X and they are completely comparable for us in gameplay.

    Not a bad console for being digital. Only real issue was getting hot once, has not done since. Not enough storage would be my only issue.

    Series S, your only option if you can’t find the X

    If you’re like me and can’t find a Series X in stock anywhere and wanted an Xbox to play the new Forza and Halo then the Series S is your only option. It’s a wonderful little system that packs quite a bit of horsepower in its small size. My only issue, and it’s a big one, is the lack of a disc drive for backwards compatible physical games from the 360 and original Xbox generation. Also the controller feels like a Fisher Price toy in comparison to the PS5 Dual Sense and still retains that signature clicky dpad.

    If your looking to olay aaa titles and dont need the best kf the best this is a great starting point. Storage can be an issue but a really strong internet connection and game pass can really expand the library through the ability to stream games

    I thiufht the whole "upgrade" thing was fake hut it truly is a step up with the extra hardware. There is so much detail and less of that grainy vision with this. Plus the fast switch is pretty epic as well. Worth the money. Jus make sure u got a 4k TV able to do 120hz to truly enjoy all it has to offer

    I was initially concerned that I wouldn’t like this as much as I would have liked a Series X, but I really love this device! It’s perfect as a GamePass machine, and is small and does not take up much space. Seriously, it’s like the size of a Wii. I got the disc enabled PS5, but this is a perfect compliment to that.
