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.

    It’s amazing this is only $300. Most people’s eyes will not be able to tell the difference between 4K and 1080p when the game is moving, and you won’t notice any perceived lack of detail because you’re just enjoying the game . Get game pass to go with it, it’s amazing .

    100% love my new XBox Series S 512 gb All Digital System!! I purchased it on line, and it was ready to pick up in just a couple hours. Super easy to set up. Got the Game Pass and have access to over 100 games. We are having a blast playing it!

    This game console was bought for the wife. She loves playing her Fortnite game on it. The graphics are amazing, 4K is on point and being able the connect to the 5G wireless network gives her constant epic gaming experience.

    Great console to ply warzone or zombies on if you don’t have a 4K tv or monitor. Also best bang for the buck. No disks so don’t worry about that. Make sure to buy extra storage space!

    Don’t let 512gb fool you! I downloaded 5 games, and have only 75gb left maybe better to go for the larger size if you want more games. Also seems to disconnect from Wi-Fi frequently, causing me to have to re-join my Wi-Fi and re-enter my password. Also some elements are very hard for visually impaired people to see. Be prepared to sit closer to the TV if you are visually impaired.

    This is great if you have a 4K TV. I was a little put off buy the $299 price tag as to how much better it would be than my current Xbox one S but, the Series S is amazing with the graphics and load times. It’s definitely been a worthwhile purchase !!!

    Purchased this Xbox for my boyfriend so we can both play FH5 when it comes out. He's been using it for a couple weeks now and so far no complaints. These are hard to find so I was ecstatic when I found Best Buy had them in stock near me.

    Xbox Series S has been a great upgrade to game system. When we got a new 4K TV earlier in the year, my old xbox graphics looked horrible on the new screen. The series S has crisp clear graphics to enjoy game system on big screen.

    very impressive system, I was a bit hesitant to get the S over the series X, but have not had a single issue and am very happy with it. It is very fast and a great system. Not sure I would get the X at this point with how great this one is doing.
