Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point.

    Great system and I was grateful to get it from Best Buy when I couldn't find it anywhere else. I don't have the need to play too many games, just a few, and I'm fine not having the physical disk drive. I like how compact and well designed this is. Very quick and simple to set up anywhere.

    Compact, Purpose Built, Economic This console boots up, installs, and loads games significantly faster than previous gen consoles. Other key difference between this machine and the previous gen consoles is that it has Quick Resume. NOTE- if you get the the Series S or X, your TV HAS to be hdmi 2.1 ready in order to see the true Next Gen X'periance

    By far a better unit than the previous Xbox One S, it's seemingly quicker to the punch, graphics seem to load more readily. Only downside is it seems to eat up more bandwith.

    Originally I was a PlayStation player, I own both PS3 and PS4. I have to say that buying this Xbox is honestly one of the best decisions I could’ve made. It is incredibly fast and smooth. The GamePass is also one of the best things I could’ve gotten with it. I will be getting a PS5 at some point not the future but for now, I’m loving my Xbox 10/10 recommend.
