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.

    Great deal for the Holiday! Being a TotalTech member and the low price made BestBuy the only place that made sense to by this from. Super fast, quiet, doesn’t operate as hot as the Xbox One, very satisfied with purchase.

    I was lucky enough to get the Series S before Christmas for my 11 year old son. He is quite happy with it. I was a little nervous about the lack of a disk drive, but it has been a non-issue. He uses the Ultimate Game Pass and uses the console as a way to play online. So far, it has been a big hit.

    bought this for a separate room while i have the series x in the main room. the small storage space is a bummer if you don’t have an external storage drive or the seagate SSD. other than that it handles games pretty much the same as the series x depending on the tv you use

    Sold my series x when I bought my pc. There still a few titles I’d like to play on my Xbox that weren’t cross platform. I Decided to buy this and was impressed how good it look compared to the series x not that big of difference in my opinion.

    The device itself performs great and games look amazing on a 4k 60hz TV. The drop of a star is because games for this device are overpriced. The game I wanted, Watch Dog Legions is $59.99 digital versus $17 for the disk (at this moment). Not being able to resale the game and not wasting physical material including shipping cost should reflect in a digital product for games. This really lowers the value of the device as 4 discounted disk games make the difference between this and the Series X.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    You know what they say...happy son happy life. Our previous gen Xbox broke it was 2 years out of warranty so fixing it was not an option. So happy the old one broke because the new GEN is so much better. Graphics are out of this world. Processor is so much quicker. LUV IT.

    My son loves it! It doesn’t have a disk drive so you don’t run into the issue with the red ring of death. Only issue is the storage, but that can be fixed with an external HD.

    Awesome if you want to go all digital especially with the Xbox app that allows you to stream all your games on your android phone and soon iPhones as well. No more Clutter of gang boxes or where are you going to store all those CDs swapping and changing games it’s so simple best decision I ever made

    Didnt think yhe digital would be as good as the X but its pretty good. Not all games are found w the xbox game pass that I'd like to have. I do love that the graphics are brighter. I wish it came w more storage though.

    I personally don't play video games but my grandsons sure do and the look on his face was priceless when he opened it up on Christmas eve. Price was in the general range across the but they don't offer the warranty and geek squad when you purchase from Best Buy.

    So much faster it’s great it was so worth it. I was concerned but the speed of everything won me over immediately wishing a day. I loved my Xbox now I’m selling my old Xbox one S for 250$ today since I don’t need it anymore and I’m buying another Xbox series s
