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.

    Overall great console but if you plan on purchasing and are a full time gamer I would consider purchasing a storage drive as well.

    Nothing at all wrong with series s. I did end up upgrading to the series x, because I didn’t see a huge improvement over my one x. But perfect upgrade from a base one or one s

    Amazing console, especially for the price. Only wish is it had more internal storage. Quick download speeds make up for that though.

    Brought it for my Cousin. He’s been really enjoying it and takes over to his friends house to use. Smaller than expected but works great and gets the job done.

    Great purchase! At $300 it can run most games at great graphics. If you're a hardcore gamer go for the Series X, but this will work more than fine for casual players.

    I’m such a huge fan of PlayStation and was thrilled to finally get a system. This was one of those purchases I had to make. I’m thrilled by this item.

    Bought this for my friend’s children! They were super excited and they love it! The graphics are amazing, and they like that they don’t have to keep track of physical games.

    Awesome for the price. Great upgrade from a One S. Definitely need an additional Hard drive. Super compact and portable. But if you are willing to buy an additional HD might as well get the X. (If you can find one.) Ended up returning it for the Series X. More power And true 4K.

    Love the x/s series. Very quite and runs smooth. Power supply is usually a problem with consoles, so we'll see how this one does.

    More amazing than i anticipated. I am actually blown away. Huge improvement over the one s. For those wondering, it's plug and play for your old external hard drive.

    Pretty cool, super fast too. The fact that it was able to transfer all the old games and settings from the old Xbox seamlessly was worth the price for me right there.

    Great purchase and great deal. Bought it when it when $50 off sale. You can’t pass that up. As far as performance, unless you’re a super duper nerd, you won’t see the difference. The biggest kicker is the storage. 512gb is so little that I can only manage to install a maximum of 5-6 games depending on the size.
