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.

    Xbox Series S

    Great Microsoft product, however, after comparing the graphics storage space, and performance of this Series S to my PlayStation 4 Pro and my Xbox Series X, I’d have to recommend the Series X to anyone who can afford one. It was a great alternative during Covid when nothing else was available on the market. Now with most consoles back in stock, the Series S wouldn’t be my first pick. It is very light weight, slim, and has very fast upload times with Farley decent graphics, just make sure your Tv and console are both set to 1080p though, 4K will cause quite a bit of lag in games like MW2.

    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.

    The console tends to freeze sometimes when loading new screens in games and the controller sometimes doesn’t register my inputs. But overall I’m satisfied with what I paid for this all things considered

    Great system little system. I went from a one s to this and the user interface is exactly the same. So visually I couldn't really notice that I just upgraded to the next gen system. However, it is much faster at loading. Nearly instant in a lot of cases, the download speeds are faster and the controller has some subtle changes that make it feel nicer. I am surprised by the lack of exclusive games, but I typically use the Xbox for the apps available such as apple tv that aren't available on my TV. My son loves it, he can tell that it's better than the one s.

    Best bang for your buck! Graphics, performance, & portability for 299? This thing is a steal! I wanted something to compliment my gaming PC for when I wanted to switch it up or when I was on the go and the series S is in a league of its own.

    Runs smooth like a champ. Definitely recommend if you’re getting into the Xbox eco system. You really can’t beat the price. Pair it with gamepass and you’re set.

    I haven’t had a Xbox since 360. Since it was difficult to get a PS5, I decided to give Xbox a try. You will not regret it at all. Little system with big power, fast and perfect for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
