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.

    Compact but powerful - it gets warm where we placed ours under the shelf on our computer desk, but that was expected based on the initial feedback from other customers for the Series X

    Bought this fella to hold me over until I could get a retail priced Series X and let a scalper starve. Honestly don’t know that I’ll even bother now, the Series S is underrated af.

    The Xbox series s is a great console to have if you have digital games that you play I wanted that console so I don’t buy physical disc anyway so everyone should buy it because it is a budget system to have.

    An amazing value. Great way to get a next gen console. You can play Xbox One, Xbox 360 and first gen Xbox games off an external hard drive too. It's a wonderful machine!

    Went ahead and got this to replace my old box. It’s very small and sleek. Boots up quick and the fact it’s “next gen” you get the upgraded games. Very impressed good power for price

    I got this Xbox for my boyfriend for Christmas. Originally we got the Oculus but he shouldn’t find any games that interested him. He loves the Xbox though. His favorite game is Madden, but he’s always yelling at it lol. It was a good price compare to other game systems.

    Small console fits perfectly with my set up and great price too considering that it plays Fortnite and warzone at 120 FPS . Highly recommend it if your thinking about buying one . It’s silent too

    Better than I expected, wonderful choice. Never played Xbox before so switching for PlayStation to Xbox was a big transition, but I'm really enjoying it. I only wish I switched over earlier!
