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.

    Its perfect for casual gamers. Great quality and good enough collection. I know why MS is doing it- to boost sales- but the space is too low

    Great little unit. Nice upgrade from the previous XBOX. Size is perfect. Digital all the way reduces disc clutter and makes life easier for the gamer who doesn’t want to get up to change discs.

    I’ve owned every Xbox model since the first and this is yet another successful unit in a long line. Just wish the X was available, the S doesn’t have a disc drive

    The SSD on the Xbox Series S is awesome. So many games load up almost instantly. I do wish that it came with a 1TB drive instead of the 512GB but I know they had to do that to keep the costs down.

    I love this console. It’s quick and runs great graphics. Just be prepared to buy an extra storage card sometime in the next year or so as the 512 gb goes quickly with big game like call of duty or assassins creed. As long as you don’t mind no disc reader and slightly less graphics and capabilities of the series x this console is great.
