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.

    The console tends to freeze sometimes when loading new screens in games and the controller sometimes doesn’t register my inputs. But overall I’m satisfied with what I paid for this all things considered

    First game console in a long time. Works great and don’t miss having a disk drive at this point. Able to download 6-7 games no problem with game pass.

    Best Buy saved my Christmas 2020, lost sleep trying to get a next gen, it was well worth it, My Xbox series S makes it bit more convenient to get my game on daily with cut loading times and the quick resume.

    As long as you purchase the expandable SD card the system works great! I have an LG OLED Tv and the images displayed are crisp and clear! No need to purchase a disc when you can go all digital!
