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.

    Purchased this for my brother who is a semi-Xbox gamer, and it was such a good deal that my best friend and other brother went and bought their own after. A great deal for a gamer who wants the option of modern titles without the bulk and price of a Series X.

    Awesome travel console

    I own both Series X and now S . Honestly besides 1tb storage and the disk drive its the only big difference between both consoles. You can use a standard HDD to put your old games but I recommend putting XSX/S games in the internal hard drive or buy the SDD hard drive. It’s half maybe even smaller than the XSX and really great for travel as well. I recommend this console to who’s not quite ready for next gen (Example : if you don’t own a 4K tv 120hz with hdmi 2.1)

    Xbox Series S is a 4k 60fps monstrosity of a beast console! I definitely recommend Best Buy Shipt overnight shipping for $6 bucks! I ordered this awesome machine at 7pm friday nov 18th 2022 and product was delivered to me saturday nov 19th 2022 at 1pm sharp! do not buy a Xbox Series X or a PS5 right now because in my opinion neither next gen consoles have shown us it's true power and lack of good games for both and they are overpriced at $500, get the Xbox Series S for $250 & save yourself $250 or $300 with tax included!

    The best budget console on the market that can play all these next generation games. If you're only looking to play a handful of games this generation then this is a great box to help you keep up with modern gaming's demands and its hard to beat that price on any other device (be it PC or console).
