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.

    Had a Xbox X with lots of problems. Warranty ended and so did the X. Already have a Xbox S which had no problems with it, so I bought another to replace the X. It was on sale on a flash sale so I picked up a Xbox S. Hopefully it worked like the first one I bought.

    Excellent system, as someone who’s had the original Xbox one since release this is a major update. Only issue in my opinion is the storage space but they covered that with the new console dropping next month with 1tb of storage to fit everyone’s needs. A+ Microsoft

    An improvement over the last, with small issues

    Love it, much better than the previous console. Only two issues. The small storage space means I can only get a few games at a time without purchasing a specific storage drive for 200 dollars, as other external storage doesn't work with it. Second issue is a desynchronization of audio and video when watching YouTube

    No problems. I purchased this because I needed to update to play Starfield, which I no longer play. It’s faster than the previous gen, but not life altering

    Cloud gaming saves console

    I haven’t noticed a huge difference in any performance quality between my series s and my one s but I do not recommend if you like having multiple games downloaded. The console only has 356gb of usable storage space for your library, which isn’t the best if you’re like me and enjoy picking up games at a whim. This can be avoided by having a subscription to the game pass and using its cloud gaming option to run the games via a server rather than down and offloading.

    Delivered on time and to a good friend, my friend has had financial hardships and never owned a current-gen console so I decided to surprise him for his birthday. His joy was worth every dollar. Great console at an affordable price- wjat else can you ask for?

    My son loves his Xbox, so much so he rarely uses his PS4 anymore. Both my kids have this system and neither have had any complaints. Very happy with the purchase.

    What a great product! I was one day looking at Xboxes to buy and this was a great deal for an Xbox! It included in game currencies and cool accessories for three games that I love. I highly recommend this because Xboxes are the superior console!

    I purchased this Concole for my Younger brother who loves to play game as his birthday gift and he looks way happy to have it in his room. Easy installation and setup. I would recommend to buy another joystick with it so that another player can play as well.

    If you are a gamer, I recommend the Series S. The download speeds are fast, and the graphics are AMAZING! Only complaint is if you are downloading something you can NOT do anything else on the Xbox till the download is complete. Other then that it's fantastic!

    OK, EK system, I bought one for the children and they love it, very small, very easy to travel with. You could also get an external storage drive if needed. System load up pretty quick also the games.

    I've had older xbox consoles in the past but am pretty much a Playstation gamer. I bought so i could purchase classic titles on the xbox store. Final fantasy xiii, blue dragon and castlevania lords of shadow look great. Very happy with my purchase!

    My son’s previous console stopped working so I purchased this as a graduation gift. I thought I was buying the exact same model he had previously but it turned out that this was an upgrade so it was a nice bonus surprise for him!
