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.

    Excellent product and excellent service from Best Buy. The only thing missing is a disk drive so I can use my collection of compatible games on disk. Very happy with my purchase.

    Purchased the Xbox Series S for my son to replace his old Xbox one that was on it's last legs. He's very happy with the difference in download speed compared to his former Xbox.

    My xbox one broke down at the beginning of the year and finally found this replacement. This little device paired with the new storage device is the simple set up i was looking for.

    Purchased as a Christmas gift for my son. I’m more of a PC gamer so I don’t play Xbox too often, but this is a huge upgrade from the Xbox One.

    Coming from a non-pro PS4, the startup and load times are lightning fast! It didn’t take long to get used to the controller either. I don’t like changing the batteries tho >:(
