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 is a great value especially with the game pass included. More storage will probably be necessary if you are a variety gamer however.

    Tried this out and decided to go with the Xbox X. This product is fine but X is better if you have 120fps available.

    I got this as a promo with 2 years of game pass. Would be 5 stars but 512gb gb is unacceptable for a console system. The internal 2 TB memory expansion is 399.00 but seamless gameplay between external and internal gaming.

    Pairing this with a gaming 1440p monitor is a dream combination. The series S can pump out amazing frame rates and performance on games like Forza Horizon 4 and other larger games while making indie games run to their best potential. Its a gamepass machine with a ton of tricks up its sleeve. If you're considering it just get it, its such a joy and has such a cool sleek design and minimalist footprint.
