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.

    The ability to play games at 120 frames is amazing! I'm happy with how this system performs and it's size. It is not the Series-X, but this system is perfect for us.

    Best gaming console for low price and best fits for those who don’t play very often and for those who don’t expect super high display resolutions.

    Pleasantly suprised. Ordered during pre order, eventually scored a ps5 before Christmas. Play this console more than ps5. Only 364 gb usable space, but is fine.

    My grandson really enjoys this system. Had to buy an extension card because the base unit doesn’t hold many downloads. No discs mean less to break.

    Al most a year i was looking for a console but finally bought XBox s , its a great and quality product, but one thing not all the games are migrated to cloud yet. So we have to buy an external hard disk if you want to install many games , minimum each game requires 25 gb space

    There is only good things to say for this console it’s pretty much the same as the X but better for the price. Don’t waste your money grab this one instead.

    Great for the money. Use as a Game Pass box. I will upgrade eventually but not until I get a TV that can do 120. Until then im enjoying the next generation.

    Couldn't be happier. Didn't need the series X - this thing can do it all. I got a 1TB expansion card and it can hold a ton. Also small and can fit most places.

    Easy to set up although I did have some glitches to work through. Couldn't sign up for the game pass ultimate so I will need to contact microsoft. Wanted to get the X but none were in stock. Also need to figure out how to make additional avatars. Much easier on the old xbox 360.

    It’s definitely good for what it is but if you can get your hands on it do yourself a favor and just get the series X for the additional storage and better frame rate. My TV could detect that this could do 120 frames per second but certain games lost frame rate with this one
