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.

    Excellent, my son love it !!! If you're just joining the Xbox family for the first time from PlayStation or Nintendo, a must have is Game Pass. You get access to hundreds of games from Microsoft's back catalog and even some new releases, along with the majority of Microsoft first party titles. It's an excellent value.

    This was bought as a Christmas gift and suffice to say, it is a hit. A number of games have been installed, and still running ok with storage to spare.

    Nothing at all wrong with series s. I did end up upgrading to the series x, because I didn’t see a huge improvement over my one x. But perfect upgrade from a base one or one s

    The only place I’ve been able to find either the series X/S or PS5. Got it a day earlier than expected and runs great. Definitely worth upgrading to the next gen
