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.

    The game was what we expected, my son was very happy to get it and even more so because when picking it up at the store it was really easy

    Awesome, this system is flawless. The unit wasn’t available for what seemed like ever and then it was there, right before my eyes. Not sold out my mind said. I dare not believe it, my monthly budget hoped it was not true but it was. Now I got the new Xbox and it rocks. I am going to purchase one of the large companion external hard drive that is available to me. No matter how many gigabytes I get I always NEED more. I need those gigs.

    Overall great console, haven’t had much trouble with it other than the storage but you can easily get more. It can run up to 120 fps and is just like the Series X, just cheaper lol. I recommend.

    Runs very smoothly and graphics are great. I bought this because can’t get a ps5 and am now contemplating a complete switch to Xbox. Down side is it’s all digital but easily overcome with an external hard drive.

    bought for my nieces and nephews. they can't handle discs bc they're kids and will definitely damage or lose them. this fixes that. Microsoft.....why do you make people log in to like 5 different accounts and take like 2 hours just to start up an xbox. what??? I had to download like 3 apps and make multiple accounts and then LOG INTO THEM etc etc took 2-3 hrs to get the Xbox just to let us in. ruined it for. I'll never have an Xbox. but the kids seem to like it.

    Insane value when factoring in Xbox game pass. If you don't have a 4K TV, this is the next gen console to buy

    I have a PS5 and primarily game on PlayStation, however; I was definitely wanting an Xbox as well this generation due to the amount of exclusives in the works for Xbox. This Series S is EXACTLY what I wanted. A cheaper alternative that is still able to play all Series console games. The Series S is best paired with Gamepass. I love this little Box!

    Needed the new xbox to play NCAA 25. Perfect gaming console at my price point. Does everything i need it do. I dont play a variety of games so the need for more storage was a non issue for me.
