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.

    Xbox Series S

    I love my Series S. How can you complain with next gen graphics, framerate and loading times for 299? Its perfect for my second T.V. or kids room where we don't use 4k. You'll want to get game pass! Remember it doesn't take disks and buying digital games isn't the best deal. I will take this console with me when I travel. It's so small and fits easy in a backpack. Much easier than putting my Ps4 in a carryon or checked luggage and worrying about it getting damaged.

    Great console. Once it was updated it was super easy to sign in and transfer all my setting from the old one to the new one. Graphics are great triple digit framerate in some games, and 70+ framerate 4k in other games, I have a 4k 60 Hz tv. If you don't have a 120hz 4k tv/monitor. This is the purchase for you.

    I bought this console so i could game fron the comfort of my bed as i only have a gaming pc setup at the moment. I was hesitant at first but boy were those fears alleviated. This console has such fast load times that you dont have time to do anything by the time it loads into a game. Definitely the clear cut choice as most people dont have a high end 4K tv to take advantage of the series X anyways.

    Very good graphics. Like the slim size compared with my old Xbox One. Plenty of games to be downloaded with a lot of disk space. Very easy to set it up. It's an enjoyable experience to play Horizon 5 on Xbox Series S.

    The best budget console on the market that can play all these next generation games. If you're only looking to play a handful of games this generation then this is a great box to help you keep up with modern gaming's demands and its hard to beat that price on any other device (be it PC or console).
