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 machine for the price. Great graphics and game load times are quick as advertised. However, make sure your TV is a true 4k and check for updates on it. The frame rates are resource intense. If you’re a disc player, you’ll either repurchase your titles or start fresh with the many X/S versions available and remastered coming. And if you’re an “eye candy” player like me, it’s worth starting fresh with the X/S versions. I was waiting, as others, for the X, and who knows when it’ll be available but I’m satisfied with the S. This machine rocks!

    There's a lot of power in this small console for reasonable price . The audio and video are improved from my previous xbox one s , in a slightly smaller package . The one and only complaint I have is that you can not use this system if you don't have a smart phone , my ps5 is plug and play no smart phone activation required .

    Slim line durable Xbox S series system. Ease of travel and can increase memory with use of Flashdrive. Took some adjustment as to a no disk system but seemless in game transfer. on account.

    Excellent little console. While it may not have the power of it's bigger brother or the PS5, this guy punches far above its weight class. Quick loading times and solid picture quality for most games. The small size form factor is also a bonus, if you take business trips, this will fit in your backpack.

    I got this system simply due to the fact that the Series X was almost impossible to find. I was worried that games would run poorly or be held back due to the lower specs of the Series S. My worries were put to rest when every game ran extremely smooth. Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, and Flight Simulator all ran great.

    The Xbox Series S is a steal for $300.00! You can game in 4K at 120Hz if your TV can handle it and you can actually find these to buy. Streaming services are a breeze and the interface is exactly the same as my Series X for $200.00 less. A no brainer gaming upgrade.

    Daughter loves it. I have my own series x and wanted her to have something of her own using our family game pass subscription. It’s a nice small size and the graphics are better than I thought for the lesser powered variant of these new Xbox consoles. Scales surprisingly well on a 4K tv, smooth frame rates.

    Solid Budget Option for Next-Gen Gaming

    I purchased this as a way to access next-gen gaming without breaking the bank or waiting for the main consoles' availability. Needless to say, it is a big upgrade, even without some of the features of the Series X or PS5. If you want a budget option for next-gen gaming and you aren't looking for anything PC-related, this is a solid option.
