Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Xbox Series S's ample storage, impressive performance, and crisp graphics. Many appreciate its compact size and ease of use, finding it a great value for the price. While some miss the disc drive, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive. A few users noted that the resolution isn't 4K and that the console can get warm during use.

    I was excited to try out this little mini console. I figured it wasn't much difference between this and the series. X the only difference was the extra power and RAM and 4K capabilities between this and the series X. Ever since I got this console I have issues all the time and by issues I mean random static on my TV. The console will freeze up entirely and will randomly disconnect from the Wi-Fi so I switch to ethernet which it still continues to disconnect from that and most games freeze up on this console and I don't understand why my series x has never given me this many issues before, but ever since I got the series s I figured since all of my titles are digital and because as one terabyte of memory it just made sense to get this smaller version of the Xbox, but it's been mostly a headache. I even considered trading it in for a PS5 but who knows I just might in the near future.

    The system is streamline and perfect for gaming or general streaming. The system is set up similar enough to the older xbox1 systems that it only takes minutes to get it readu to play.
