Customers are saying

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.

    Easy to set up although I did have some glitches to work through. Couldn't sign up for the game pass ultimate so I will need to contact microsoft. Wanted to get the X but none were in stock. Also need to figure out how to make additional avatars. Much easier on the old xbox 360.

    Couldn't be happier. Didn't need the series X - this thing can do it all. I got a 1TB expansion card and it can hold a ton. Also small and can fit most places.

    It’s definitely good for what it is but if you can get your hands on it do yourself a favor and just get the series X for the additional storage and better frame rate. My TV could detect that this could do 120 frames per second but certain games lost frame rate with this one

    Minor Upgrade from Previous Gen

    I upgraded from a One S, and for my use case I only see two benefits: 1. The smaller size 2. Faster load times At this point, I personally don't think it would be worth upgrading from the One S if you are using a 1080p TV.
