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.

    Small powerful console. Fast loading and fun. Great next generation console. Wanted the series x but couldn't find it. The machine is awesome too. I'll get the series x later.

    Great budget console. I already have the series X but wanted a travel console. This fits the need without breaking the bank.

    Scaled back option, perfect if you don’t need 4K

    If you don’t have a need for 4K this is perfect! Just as quick to load games as the Series X we have in the living room and handles everything on a 1080p display with ease.

    Love this system, I was unable to find a series x unfortunately but this was a great alternative with similar performance. And at a cheaper price point.

    Great value. Upgraded from One S. The quick resume alone is worth the upgrade. As far as capabilities, this unit runs cyberpunk acceptably whereas the One S was unplayable.

    Have no other words to describe it but as perfect, You get 120FPS on some games, and nice picture quality, and also Ray Tracing, for a 300 console what else can you ask for.

    Excellent for the casual gamer! I just hop and play whenever I have some extra time. Graphics are good enough and not really that much off from the series X.

    After installing the system. Very easy to do. The advertisement said “512GB” it’s more like 312GB with operating system. It should state this fact so customers are not mislead. The system itself runs smoothly.
