Customers are saying

Customers love the Xbox Series S for its affordable price, impressive performance, and ease of use. Many appreciate the compact size and the inclusion of Game Pass, although some find the storage capacity limiting and the lack of a disc drive inconvenient. Positive feedback frequently highlights the console's smooth graphics and quick setup. A few users mentioned occasional overheating and short controller battery life as minor drawbacks.

    Quick and easy pickup, although the guest service rep could've been a little more personable. People have bad days, so I looked past it. The console is awesome. My grandson loves it.

    It was simple to set up, kind of laggy on paring with the app but everyhting else was easy and simple, the game pass adds automatically witch it’s perfect because you don’t have to type the code.

    My nephew loves this Xbox. The only thing I would say is base models need to have more storage space for games.

    No complaints about this one. My son has played it every day without any issues. It was a little difficult to set up for an age appropriate game but figured it out.

    The Series S works great for what we wanted, a second system so that my wife and I can play games together. Setup was simple and we have been enjoying our his/hers setup.

    I bought my xbox series S a couple months ago and so far it has been great. I debated the series S vs series X for awhile and I am glad I went with the more affordable option. Great performance so far!

    I wouldn’t say I’m a gamer…I just like to play some video games. Paramount Plus has a show based off of the Halo video game and after watching this show, it made me want to play the game so I went out and purchased this console. Definitely a tad pricey just to play a simple video game; however, it’s so much more. I didn’t realize you can not only play video games but also for watching streaming services like Netflix and Paramount Plus. It’s a true “Entertainment System.” Have been very pleased with this purchase and finally was able to scratch that itch and have played Halo many times since purchasing.

    I love it so much, How its so cheap and its playing games at 120 fps and also if you want to use its full 120fps you will need, a monitor with 120 refresh rate for it to run super good.
