Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Xbox Series S's low price, excellent performance, and crisp graphics. Many also praise its compact size and ease of use, finding it a great console for the family. However, some users point out the limited storage space as a significant drawback, and the lack of a disc drive is also a recurring concern for some buyers. While some experience occasional heating issues or lag, these are not universally reported problems.

    Bought for Forza and Starfield, little did I know Forza was pulled from the Microsoft store due to expired licenses, YET previous owners are allowed to continue to play and engage in online races. The Xbox interface is slow and clunky, the storage is desperately lacking with it only capable of holding 3 decent sized games. There's a reason playstation outsells Xbox despite all the exclusives Microsoft has courted... Playstation has a enjoyable/fun experience whereas Xbox is just frustrating, unfulfilled and cheap.

    Not to happy, my xbox s lasted 2 month and started a issue of not able to sign in as well wont add another user or create a new one. Maybe its just faulty. Microsoft help is a joke as you cant talk to anyone. Everything is automated.

    Device died 1 week after warranty expired. No issues before then, just completely died. Geek squad refuses to work on it, microsoft charges the price of a new xbox to work on it. Would give 5 stars if it was advertised as a paperwieght. Very dissappointed in device.
