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.

    Was an amazing gift for my nephew! So far its worked better than we expected. Such a great idea to only get digital games and prevents a cluster on his desk.

    I have both the s and the x in two different setups. I actually think I like the S better. Sure the X has more bells and whistles, but the S does just fine and I don't miss the other features

    We have always been a Play Station family. We bought this knowing that things would be different. THINGS WERE TOTALLY DIFFERENT! We will never go back. Graphics are clearer, the movements are way smoother and no glitches!

    Was definitely debating whether this was going to be a good choice because of the limited amount of storage but definitely best bang for your buck to get into the new gen consoles

    I bought a Series X when it came but upgraded our other Xbox One X to this and it is a night and day difference in loading times. Storage sucks but Seagate makes a SSD addon to increase storage.

    Love, love, love this machine. This is my first xbox console and just wow. Lightening fast, super quiet, a complete and total monster. Get the gamepass with it, at least at the start. Totally a no brainer.

    When paired with an external drive, this thing is a beast. I've been using it nonstop since I got it and I cannot suggest it enough. No issues at all. If you might play on a few different monitors/TVs, it's perfect because it's nice and portable.

    I was hesitant on getting this console since I had the Xbox One S and it was working just fine. I'm beyond glad I did, the difference in performance is massively noticeable. I don't purchase discs so this is perfect for me and what I use it for.

    Really wanted the series X but was worried the S would sell out during the holidays so I bought this for the moment, no regrets, still will upgrade whenever shortages come to an end but this xbox packs a whole lot of vaule.
