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.

    So I have been comparing this to the Series X version. If this is for a kid and one that won't need to keep too many games on the system at once, get this one. If you want to future proof yourself for about two years, buy the Series X. This one is great, but has less space on the hard drive, and lower specs for the graphics and more technical aspects of the compared to the Series X. This will undoubtedly be serviceable throughout the consoles lifespan but will not fully utilize the potential of the games that will be made this generation as developers get better at using the technology in the consoles. Still, it's a great console, especially for kids or those who don't like keeping physical games around.

    I had the Xbox One X before this and I liked it, this is just as good. The load times are faster and it was easy to set up.

    For the price it's very good but you have to buy expandable storage to make it truly excellent. Still 5 stars for the low cost.
