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.

    Since I am unable to get my hands on a Xbox series X, I saw that this was available so I grabbed it. Sense I currently do not have a 4K TV I think this will do for now even know I can’t get any games from GameFly for this unit since it is a non disc model. Looks good to me on my 2007 50 inch pioneer plasma. Will be upgrading to a 4K TV as soon as my plasma goes out. Until then this is the only way that I was able to step up to next GEN gaming. Hopefully sometime in 2022 I will be able to get a Xbox series X and PlayStation 5. Until then my Xbox series S and PS4 pro will have to do.

    This console is great for a Game Pass subscriber. I skipped Xbox during the Xbox One era but this console + Game Pass is making it easy for me to play the games I missed out on.

    Great product it enhances the game play. The pictures are sharper with more textures. The box does not get as hot or make as much noise as the previous versions.

    Held out for a Series X for a year or so, finally bought this since it was actually in stock. As a console it's fine, but the lack of a disk drive is annoying because I'll either have to re purchase backwards compatible games I already own or else just not play them until I find a Series X.
