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.

    good picture, wanted the series x but they were sold out. This one does pretty good for about half the price.

    everything came new exactly as expected the series s is definitely faster than my og 500 gb xbox one from the first launch. this only has 500 gb which i didnt mind because i have a 3tb hard drive but unfortunately any games i have on my hard drive tries to download the “upgraded version” onto my xbox and theres no way to stop it from doing it automatically without turning off auto update. super annoying but i needed a new console and games do load quickly and it works great just that one annoying thing. not to mention one of the only places to buy for $300

    My daughter and her bf love it. They said it's a big improvement over their xbox one s and so much faster! They are very pleased. Only downfall would be the storage, but for the holiday bundle price, can't beat that. All in all I guess dad finally picked out a good xmas present ;)

    I purchased this while I waited out the strangle hold scammers and Microsoft had on the availability of the Series X. By the time I write this review, I have finally purchased the X and have been highly unimpressed with the X and the lag/glitchy performance of my X. My Series S performed exceptionally better then my X does and for the value, the S is highly superior especially due to the manipulation of the availability of the X and price at which most owners have been forced to pay to get the X.

    It was alright. Definitely not as good as the series X, but for the price, really good starter box. It plays most optimized games well. Can't ask for anything more than that.

    Worth it to get if you’re a casual gamer. I got this version for a friend and wish I’d have kept it for myself. Getting the game pass is also recommended.
