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.

    Xbox Series S

    Bought this as an upgrade from a xbox one S. This is much faster and displays better graphics, but what stood out above anything else is the load time. You can jump right in to your favorite game much faster the the 1S could even boot. It does have a few issues, mostly connectivity with the controller and glitches (expected with a new generation. And in case you were wondering, we don't really miss the lack of a disk drive.

    Good console for the bare minimum

    If you're looking for a new console and don't care for 4K, don't care about a disc drive if you play your games digitally, and don't want to pay an extra $200 for the Series X, then get the Series S! The downside is there's only 364GB of useable storage out of a 512GB that it comes with so it's recommended to get an expansion card with the console but it runs faster and smoother than the Xbox One at least.

    Great if you like seamless console gaming. The only thing to you have to worry about obviously is storage space.

    Truely an upgrade from xbox one. Much much faster operations and you can have quick lqunch games, something xbox one cannot handle. I got this because i cant find the series x. This definitely suffices and i may not even get the series x now.

    Very compact great for kids. Perfect traveler console fits easily in backpacks. Discless so dont have to worry about kids scratching disc. There is also a company out there that sales a attachable monitor called (xscreen) for the series S.

    Great next gen gaming for an awesome price. I was initially skeptical of purchasing this entry level console, but it backs a punch. For those concerned about storage space, add the optional hard drive and you are on in a good place.

    This is well worth the money. A lot of earlier reviews said just wait and buy a series x, but I don’t agree. Graphics are great and it’s perfect as a Games Pass machine. Still prefer PS5, but this was only $300. Definitely worth purchasing

    Was skeptical about making the jump to get an Xbox. But I’m glad that I did, wish I’ve bought one sooner. Runs so smooth, thought it was an exaggeration on fast it loads. I love it

    Great xbox! Small and lightweight, better than the Xbox one. Only thing I would change is the storage space, definitely needs more.

    Waited a long time for a series X to be available through Best buy but settled instead for the series S. Graphics and game play are definitely improved on the One but also falls short of the X. Storage fills up quite fast with the size of games and updates, to help this you need an additional ssd which brings th total cost in line with an X. Mostly happy with purchase, wish X had been available instead though.

    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.

    Love my new Xbox S. Husband thought he was getting an upgrade, he has One, but I ended up using this. Only thing is it gets hot, I had to purchase a cooling fan to place underneath.
