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.

    My son is a huge PlayStation kid and I was hesitant purchasing this since I know nothing about gaming but man, I scored points because he keeps saying how epic it is and super fast!

    The response rate it’s great but the X beats it by a mile, quite annoying that has a very little GBs space and also since can’t have disks.

    From the xbox one to the series s, it's a major upgrade. Games load faster, and almost no lag online makes this worth the money all day long.

    The new Xbox series S is great. It is on digital play so if you are used to using disks this is not for you. I recommend its less bulky than the Xbox one so that's a plus. Great overall.

    Great step up from the original xbox one. The quality I get is exactly what I needed for a light xbox gamer. The load times are awesome and the way everything moves smoothly is perfect.

    What can I say, its an xbox series S, the biggest and only draw back is HDD size and the external HDD price. Other then that it is great.

    Well worth the price point. Really fast load times, amazing upscaling at least on the few classics I've played and nice small footprint. Beast of a system for $300!
