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.

    Got a trade in offer for my Xbox box one which was nice. Well worth the upgrade honestly . Whole new gaming experience frfr. Graphic and all. Just really either get the bigger Xbox or invest in a external terabyte. Other than that solid system nicely priced.

    Highly recommend it if you are new to gaming, only game every once in a while, a kid, or a teen! I have an external hard drive (HHD) hooked to it for extra storage:) Really simple to use. Can't go wrong if you don't like to get up to change out games. It's ALL digital. XBOX has deals on games all the time, so it's easy to go into the game shop and see if something cheap catches your eye or that certain game you've been wanting finally goes on sale! The controller batteries do not last long. I would recommend a battery pack or a docking charger! Mine only lasted less than a month.

    Even though this system is marketed and a less powerful cheaper version of the Xbox series x. The SSD alone is worth it. I bought this system because couldn’t find a ps5 and wasn’t going to pay some scalper 900 bucks for one. This system exceeded all of my expectations. For the money this is great system and it’s an emulation powerhouse. Microsoft need more 1st party killer apps, but this system is worth the buy if you are looking to take that next gen leap.

    I love my Series S. How can you complain with next gen graphics, framerate and loading times for 299? Its perfect for my second T.V. or kids room where we don't use 4k. You'll want to get game pass! Remember it doesn't take disks and buying digital games isn't the best deal. I will take this console with me when I travel. It's so small and fits easy in a backpack. Much easier than putting my Ps4 in a carryon or checked luggage and worrying about it getting damaged.

    Great console. Once it was updated it was super easy to sign in and transfer all my setting from the old one to the new one. Graphics are great triple digit framerate in some games, and 70+ framerate 4k in other games, I have a 4k 60 Hz tv. If you don't have a 120hz 4k tv/monitor. This is the purchase for you.
