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.

    With it being very early in the Next-Gen still, I think Microsoft potentially has a home run value here. However, maybe as we stretch further along in the years, we see the S being susceptible to lagging behind.

    Purchased for my 16 year old. He loves the compact size he can easily pack it for road trips or even use it in the SUV's entertainment package and its not taking up much space in the vehicle! We actuall purched the external hard drive recommended and its very small too! Its a win/win for me. One thing he wishes is that the controller had usb charging capability, right now he is using regular batteries or the lithium rechargeables.

    Surprisingly this is my favorite console. While not as powerful as its big brother it is by far the best value in gaming. Storage is too small but i really use it to stream games from GamePass on my secondary TV.

    I have a PS5 but wanted to get back in the Xbox ecosystem. This is the perfect way to do it at a better price than the Series X. I had the X as well but took it back and decided to keep this console instead. Perfect for the man cave and I the PS5 and a gaming laptop if I need to game at a higher resolution. Also, this is a great console to use with the dev app, boot in to dev mode and have some fun testing or maybe even create apps!

    Absolutely love this tiny machine! Pros: Small Very accessible Quiet as a mouse Cheap compared to other next gen consoles Supports 120 fps Cons: Does not support 4k Small storage No Disc Drive I wanted a way to experience gamepass since I missed the X1 gen and gotta say, this was seriously a great way to get introduced! It may not be as powerful as the Series X/PS5 but it’s a great way to get started on gamepass!
