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.

    Great Value

    It is really a great value. Fast load times and great graphics. Perfect for Xbox Game Pass. The Series X is superior in the graphics department, but honestly I don't think I would be able to tell the difference unless I had a top of the line TV (I have a 55" 4k with HDR, but only 60hz). The only real issue is storage and I ended up getting the storage expansion, which was kind of expensive.

    This is the second time I’ve purchased this item. I got one for my son and then my other son liked it so much we got another one. Haven’t had any issues yet. Works great. I do honestly like the PS5 more, but I still think this is a great console and it does the job. Would have rather had a Series X but those are pretty much impossible to find. Still,

    Santa delivered the Xbox series S to my daughter for Christmas. She has been asking for an Xbox for 2 years. Best Buy has it in stock and on sale. I walked in and told the salesperson what I wanted. And Poof I was at the cashier and paying. She loves it. She still believe in Santa.

    Great device! My 17 year old son hasn’t had any complaints so far. The graphics are top notch and the speed of this system all seem worth the upgrade from the previous model. If you’re deciding between this model and the more expensive model that’s currently still on back order then go with this model. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll save yourself a few dollars.

    Little powerhouse

    A fantastic little powerhouse! The difference in FPS from a game like AC Odyssey is very noticeable! Runs incredibly smooth and clear. Storage is a downside of purchasing this console, but if you don’t mind removing and downloading what you’ll play most of the time, then it’s fine to work with. The true storage space is about 356GB out of the advertised 512GB.

    I don’t miss the physical disc slot at all. Perfect with Game Pass and way faster than my current Xbox One (day one). Quick resume is great, plays well with CEC. Wish I had more storage but it’s pretty fast to download games so it’s not that bad to swap them in and out. I have a USB 4TB I think I can use to just move games back and forth and avoid re downloading…

    The S is Better Than the X.

    Have had both a Series S and X. The S is a much better Value. Sure the X has 4k and a blue ray player. But that's all it has going for it. I have not played a game that has pushed the X and 2 years later still have not found anything to justify me selling my S for the X. Also the S is so much easier to take with you places along with costing you less on your electric bill. Thing is also super quiet.

    I haven't had a console since the original Xbox One and I decided to get the Xbox just because I bought the backbone. I love the fact that I do not have to worry about scratched disk and I can play the old Xbox games I loved.

    Theres no questions that this is a great console, but it depends on who's shopping. Good performance for light gaming and fits almost anywhere. However, it does lag behind quite a bit compared to other consoles. If you're a gamer between a PS5 or series X and this. Save up the extra money and buy the ladder, this console will leave you wanting. Nevertheless, if youre a casual gamer and dont play anything demanding, id say save a couple or bucks and buy this one
