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.

    It is an xbox not much to review downloads just fine through ethernet but has CD drive causing you to pay full price almost all the time since you can't get used games

    The product is great!! I was just taken by surprise that you wanted to charge me 11 cents for a bag when I spent over $1,000 dollars on my last purchase. Not sure I will ever forget that one.

    Good game system for the average user, but based on Microsoft, kind of sounds like they are going to take your money and throw it away by coming up with a new generation above the series x/s.

    I can’t see a reason anyone would pay for a Series X. For most people this is plenty fast enough. My only complaint is that to expand the memory you must buy a special card that cost $200. Games will not play from simply an external hard drive.

    100% love my new XBox Series S 512 gb All Digital System!! I purchased it on line, and it was ready to pick up in just a couple hours. Super easy to set up. Got the Game Pass and have access to over 100 games. We are having a blast playing it!

    I bought this console for my girlfriend and she loves it. Best bang for the buck if you don’t want to buy the Series X or if it’s out of stock. The console is really powerful and a great option if you like to buy your games digitally and have Gamepass.

    It’s just what you need if you’re a casual gamer like myself. With the size of games today a little storage management is required, but not a deal breaker.

    My son truly enjoys gaming during the weekend and holidays. It is a big difference playing on an XBOX Series S compared to the Xbox One. I am glad the price went down and is more affordable

    Never was an XBOX fan but I figured I would give it a try, I did not want to over commit to a gaming system I may not like, So for the price, I felt it was a good investment, still not a big xbox fan. LOL.

    very impressive system, I was a bit hesitant to get the S over the series X, but have not had a single issue and am very happy with it. It is very fast and a great system. Not sure I would get the X at this point with how great this one is doing.
