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.

    Love it, use it every day. Most playing COD and RL. Definitely didn’t need to spend the extra money for an X.

    I wanted the X but you know the struggle of finding one if youre reading this. I had a first generation Xbox one and call of duty was not having it. Let’s put it this way; my friends stopped yelling at me while we game because my console is up to date. No regrets here

    I bought this when everyone was still desperately looking for one. It came fast. Did not have that “repeating power cycle error” that I’ve read about online. I added a two year Geek Squad warranty and I love it. The entire purchase and getting my info went very smoothly.

    Like anyone else i couldnt wait to set it up. It took all of ten minutes, not kidding. Downloaded one previously purchased game in roughly an hour And it was ready! Processing speed is Mind blowing. It is also a fraction of the size of the older models. Thumbs up on a super clean design.

    Love the digital Xbox series xs. Not a fan of gaming discs that eventually where down and get scratched. The graphics are amazing, controllers fit my hands nicely and the size of the Xbox series xs is smaller and that’s a huge plus for me . Microsoft keep up the great work .

    very good just needs more internal storage, it’s sleek and it fits in a lot of good places and the graphics are very very good i would recommend this one over the more expensive one but the controller that came with it got a drifting stick very quickly. also it’s very customizable as u can see in the photo

    Great console, beat my favorite game ever on it Elden Ring. Would definitely recommend buying it if you’re into consoles and don’t want to drop the big bucks on the better version. The storage capacity kind of sucks, but other than that it’s great.

    Its a xbox i love it , but be aware if you want more then 3-4 games you have to get Seagate. 1tb expansion for $212. Probably be better to get the series X i mean its actually cheaper at $499 then the $299 & $212= $511 for the series s & seagate.
