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.

    I just bought it and don't play but, from what I can see, it works great. I like that all the games are streamed and no more game boxes laying around. Bought it especially for the Flight Simulator and it works great. I was worried I'd need the X series to steam that game.

    The Xbox Series S packs a punch in a small and convenient package. This console gives you an insight into next gen gaming without breaking the bank. Although it lacks in certain areas regarding graphics and overall 4k performance it’s still a solid deal for any casual gamer that can look past those imperfections. For me the Series S was the best choice!

    For the price it gets the job done, If you are big on gaming or just want the best id go with the Series X for sure.

    This was a purchase for my son and he absolutely loves it. He plays a ton of Fortnite and I love watching him play on the 4k tv. Graphics are really nice. I can buy the hard drive for more storage, but games download quickly and he's not complaining. Overall great product.

    Bought this as a gift. Great value for a next gen (sort of) console. I prefer a disc system which allows me to buy used games

    I bought two consoles, one for each of my kids. I considered buying one Series X instead, but glad I went for the Series S. They only play o e game and are happy with the power of the console.

    Xbox S 512 GB All Digital console is amazing. I love that I don't have to worry about disc scratches running your purchase. In addition, the loading speed of the games is so quick. If you are on the fence, I'd highly recommend purchasing this unit over a PS5

    Very happy with the S, not playing 4k so don't need the big brother. Unit is surprisingly small, which is great - I was able to mount it on the back of the TV so it's completely out of site (custom mounting that I improvised myself) and being disc-free positioning is not a relevant.

    I have both Series X and A. SERIES x is definitely more powerful but I love how compact this Series S model is. If graphics isn't really important to you or maybe you have a 1080ptv and no4, I would really recommend this model over series x. Game pass is highly recommend too

    We purchased this console as a Christmas gift, so the young man who will receive it has yet to test it out. However, he has played with it at friends' homes and he love it. So, I am confident that he will enjoy various games with this Xbox for a long time.

    Xbox is very good but not having the physical games is a draw back but this is the way it is going now. Graphics are great. Controllers could be better. Got it specifically for FIFA and love it. Xbox game pass is a rip off now.

    Love this little Xbox. I’m a PS5 player first and foremost, so I knew the Xbox would take a back seat, but excellent for what I use it for. Lack of disk drive can be frustrating, but super fast and great if you use it for things like Netflix and all in addition to games.

    I was on the Sony playform with the PS3 ans PS4. I couldn’t find a PS5 for the last couple years then opted to get this system and couldn’t be happier. It does everything the PlayStation does. Im glad i have it.

    While the Series X is gold standard, the S provides excellent value. With GamePass (with cloud play!) remote play and excellent back catalog, this provides great gaming. Storage isnt great, but can be expanded.
