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 came in relatively quick on the first round of pre-orders. I can only review based off of Best Buy’s service because I sold it the moment I received it! 5/5 would do it again!

    This machine is amazing! This is basically an Xbox one X with an SSD. If you are planning on playing a lot of indie games or less intensive games, then this is all you need.

    If you don’t care about having a disc drive, buy it. It’s fast and can hold its own with graphics

    You'll be amazed at how tiny this console is. If you want a budget friendly way to get into next-gen or travel a lot for work and like having a console with you, this is the choice to make.

    Great game system! Only complaint would be the amount of space to store games but that’s nothing an external hard drive can’t fix!

    Great console! Does everything you need for a next-gen console. It is difficult to find the series x but I am 100% happy to save $200 and still enjoy the console.

    Great power in a small package, I had no lags or problems when running next-gen games. Even though the hardware isn’t powerful, it’s still packing a punch.

    I bought this for my girlfriend and its great for her! But if you want the top gaming experience i dont think even the series X or ps5 can provide it i strongly reccomend a pc.

    My son is enjoying the new Xbox. As the one that pays the bills, I’m disappointed that there is a fee to play with others. I’m not a gamer myself, so I don’t claim to understand everything that goes into creating games. Getting a console that then requires a monthly fee to do things he could do on his iPad for free is disappointing.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
