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.

    I bought this on a whim because saw it was available and it has been difficult for everyone to get ahold of the systems overall. Little did I know that the Series S has now saturated the market. Long story short, I didn’t do much research and assumed, like the PS5, that this was the same as the X, just digital. I already own the PS5 disc version so figured I didn’t need the Xbox disc version. Was disappointed to learn that it is not as good as the X beyond just the disc. However, it is a good system and I love gamepass. I bought this mainly for the exclusives. May upgrade to the X eventually.

    Great system, as someone who has been looking for a PS5, I decided to switch to looking for a Xbox, and the Series S is a great choice to get if you decide that you still plan to stick with 1080p gaming cause it runs beautifully on 1080p. Storage could be a problem since there's only 350gb of usable space but external storage should be enough. Perfect for the casual gamer.

    Bought one purely because I was a able while staying glued to Twitter waiting to scoop up the PS5( ended with G@me$t0p bundle). Was going to sell this Xbox but it actually started to grow on me after awhile. The dif features and point my TV isnt 4K quite kinda makes any graphic difference non existent para me. Worth the $ if you can get one, who knew they’d still be so scarce.

    Next Gen Performance on a Budget

    I absolutely love this little beast of a console. It puts last gen to shame and truly lives up to it's promise of delivering next gen performance. Playing old games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 at 60fps breaths new live into them that has to be experienced to appreciate. For $299 this is the best value in gaming right now hands down when coupled with Gamepass. If you can find one BUY IT.

    Great Game Pass Box, But No Surprises

    Really great console for the price. Can't even buy a GPU that does 60fps 1440p, let alone one that does ray tracing, for $300. The most "next-gen" feeling feature here is the Quick Resume. Everything else sort of feels like my older Xbox One X. I attribute most of that feeling to the lack of a meaningful dashboard/UI upgrade. I have a PS5 as well, and that had a from the ground up brand new UI. Over all, super great Game Pass machine. Haven't tapped into the RetroArch emulation you can do on this thing with a dev account, but I'll definitely give it a shot. Giving it a 4/5 because it's a great price vs. performance value, but doesn't really carry the weight of a "next-gen console."

    Peak Next generation

    This is the definition of next generation console gaming… smooth 1080p 120 fps on most popular games like fortnite, call of duty modern warfare and warzone. and even if it isnt 120 fps capped the game still looks and feels smooth and amazing. 300 dollars for a mini pc beast is the best bang for the buck, especially if you add a 144hz gaming monitor if your a hard gamer

    I was originally looking to buy the Series X,but it was hard to find. I bought the Series S until I can get the Series X. All I can say is that aim very happy with my purchase. It’s a great gaming system. There isn’t much storage space,but there are other storage devices on the market that work well with it.Dint hesitate to buy this. You won’t regret it !!

    Gifted to our third squad mate to play Rainbow Six and the new COD. Seems to perform very similarly to my own series x, save for 4k and double storage. Be mindful of no disc reader!
