Customers are saying

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.

    Bought this for my sister and she loves it. Fast load times, quick resume, and small enough to fit anywhere. The series s is an affordable way to play on the next generation. Only $300 compared to $400-500. Sadly there is only 512 gb internal but you can use already owned external storage if you need more. If you need more. It runs very quiet and has pretty good performance too. I have a series x but was almost regretting my purchase when I saw the series in use.
