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.

    This new Xbox is great and is quick with the professing. The only downside is the lack of storage and being forced to use to digital games only. Also, the only way you can get external shortage is by paying for the expensive 1 TB storage from Xbox, otherwise it’ll crash the other hard drives.

    I lucked out finding this at my local BB store. The kids love it. It's much faster at startup than our old Xbox and the controllers have a better grip. We love the purchase.

    Beat system I have had so far. Video quality is unmatched. Hopefully I can land the X soon but I’m truly satisfied with this system and amazed at how small it is!

    Great value for what it is. Don't compare it to the Series X or 4k Playstation experience. This is not for that target market. Happy to have this as my casual Game Pass console.
