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.

    My only complaint is that I had to buy an expansion card 2 days after turning it on. About half of the internal memory was taken up with only 5 games. Some games like marvel use over 80gb, so 500 gb goes fast.

    Best Xbox I’ve ever had so far

    I really love how small, powerful, and quiet this console is and having digital only actually takes all the stress of storing physical games. Microsoft has put a lot of Xbox 360 games on the store so that’s pretty cool too. For the price this is definitely a great deal and the fact that the console is actually available right now in 2021 is a huge plus. I just wish I could find a ps5 somewhere but oh well this is more than enough for now

    I also own a PS5 and compared to that it’s not quite up to the challenge. That said, it has some things that it does well. Load times are great, and it has a built in web browser as well, (the ps5 does not) which was helpful setting up new internet! It concerns me that it runs so hot too. Not sure if it’s normal, but it’s still pretty quiet. The biggest downside is the controller. The stock controllers are trash, so I bought the Power A fusion pro as well. It completes the system for sure. Overall, I’m happy with the experience and the gameplay has been good for all the games I’ve played. Paired with game pass ultimate, it’s a good buy!

    Fast and very nice to play with, if you have game pass, its goated but if you don’t then it's basic yet nice.

    I know these are hard to find right now, keep looking. If you’re thinking of only getting the series x because of “better” game experience and you pass up the series s you’re making a mistake. I have both and honestly the series s is just as good as the x and it also loads a little faster then the series x. The only down fall is the series s is disc free so everything is bought through the store. Also, I would recommend getting the extra expansion card for memory.

    Excellent value for those who don't have 4k TVs, or who are okay with slightly less performance in 4k (fewer FPS in some games). Get a large external HDD for all your games (I recommend 5TB easyStore on sale at Best Buy for around $100). Console will be futureproof for some time, and if you don't care about the disc-free design, this is a great-looking, compact console that you will keep for years.

    Next Gen Gaming at a great price point. May be less powerful than its counterpart but was a no brainer for my wife!

    This was a Christmas present for my son, and he absolutely loves it. The only downside I see is the storage is really small so it only fits 5 or 6 games on it.
