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.

    If you don't care about Blu-ray movies, this it's a great console for you. So small, yet powerful enough to be Next Gen! Game loading the is so quick and painless.

    For a much lower price than the other next-gen options, you can't really ask much more from it. Runs all of my games perfectly and fits perfectly basically to anywhere you want it.
