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.

    Great new console. I didn't notice a difference in this console then the series x. I'm just as happy if not happier with this. I don't use disk though. None of the only 360 games even worked with the series x anyways.

    Nothing on the market beats value for tour money here. Yes the space is small but you can always move games around to make space. Perfect for anyone in their mid 20s who has a life.

    First game console in a long time. Works great and don’t miss having a disk drive at this point. Able to download 6-7 games no problem with game pass.

    Awesome! Super fast and much smaller than expected. It looks sleek, sounds quiet, and is really portable. It's also nice and clean and seems well built.

    Best Buy saved my Christmas 2020, lost sleep trying to get a next gen, it was well worth it, My Xbox series S makes it bit more convenient to get my game on daily with cut loading times and the quick resume.

    Xbox should be smacked in the face for the amount of storage they gave. 1 game is enough to take half you lucky if they are good titles. No real difference Xbox 1 to series s if you don’t have a 4K tv so far the games play faster so I’m glad loading isn’t bad at all.

    Pretty good system but tbh I’ve had the game pass but found more 360 games more interesting lol bought black ops 2 with dlc and have been playing that since I bought it. In my opinion PlayStation is better overall.
