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.

    Overall, I’ve enjoyed the console. It’s worked way better than I thought and it has allowed me to play games at close to next gen speed at such a low entry price!

    I've had both the Series S and the Series X and it's hard to see the difference really. For the price, this seems to be the winner. Only downside is the smaller harddrive. Otherwise, great gaming system.

    This is very small and it weighs around 5 pounds and its very quiet and downloading games on the internal storage is very fast. This is recommended for those who have game passes and wants to play it there besides PC cause Outriders is coming to game pass day one for consoles only.

    Plays great and has fast loading times. The only cons is that it has barely any storage and it stays hot all the time.

    This a great option for last generation gaming if you can’t find any other in stock or they want to charge you over the original price. It’s a great gaming console, with a lot of games and simulators. Very happy with it!.

    I have a series x already but needed a next gen for the living room. The series x was out of stock so i grabbed this b4 the proposed price increase. Also picked up a memory card bc 500gb is not enough.

    First X-Box I ever owned, and I’m pleased. I also have a PS5 but each console has its advantages. Game Pass is totally worth it, and Dev Mode is a MUST if you love emulation.

    For the price, extremely hard to beat. Great performance but really the one con is the storage size. Depending on the games you play, this console might only be able to hold 3 games max. Not necessarily Microsoft’s fault that game developers make their file sizes so big though!
