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.

    Certain games will not allow higher graphics options and force frame rate priority, even my older xbox gave me the option. This is an improvement speed wise but was surprised at the apparent down grade of video options which is hard to believe as I thought the video card was supposed to be better then the one x.

    Great little machine for the price. It has full backwards compatibility and I was able to play my old games without issues. Much better buy than a PlayStation.

    Well worth the price point. Really fast load times, amazing upscaling at least on the few classics I've played and nice small footprint. Beast of a system for $300!

    Great experience with online sales process. Best Buy is doing an admirable job keeping ‘resalers’ from snatching up every available Xbox. And friendly support during pick up.

    Smaller than expected works fast. Quick resume has a few glitches but really helps get back in the game quicker. Only downside is optimized games for it, but more keep coming out each day.
