Great value, excellent experience, with two notable caveats.
1 of 1 found this helpful 3 years after release, the Xbox Series S still remains an excellent value. Personally, I own a higher-end gaming PC, but I purchased the XSS as I wanted to game on the couch without having to deal with setting up and/or tweaking my PC titles. With my 1080p TV and a Gamepass Ultimate subscription, it fills the niche near perfectly.
The two notable downsides I've encountered with the XSS have been;
* The ad-riddled dashboard
An unfortunate staple of MS system software that's gotten worse overtime. Just the other day I (and every other Xbox user) was greeted with a full-screen advertisement for the new Call of Duty game, with the 'buy now' button automatically highlighted. Terrible.
* The middling storage capacity
Despite being 512gb, a big chunk of that storage is reserved for system use, leaving you with only 364gb of storage. Modern games have been ballooning in size, with many being around (or exceeding) the 100gb mark.
Expansion options are terrible; you're forced to purchase an expansion card for around double the price of an equivalent m.2 2280 SSD, or perhaps more, cutting into the value of the XSS.
The internal cards are m2-2230 (a rare size, though becoming more common thanks to Steam Deck & others) and have a partition 'locking' them to the console. Meanwhile the PS5 provides easy, user-friendly access, and supports any SSD that meets their (non-proprietary!) specification.
