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.

    Not enough storage, you’ll need a external hard drive. Small and compact can take anywhere

    Very impressed by this. i have a Series X and PS5. Neither of which you can travel with. This little guy. 1440p is good enough for trips and gaming while on vacation. Very impressed. Paired with Game Pass. Can’t beat it.

    Great console! I still prefer a disc drive, but for the money it's well worth it. The size, or lack of, is the most amazing aspect of this console. The series S has an amazing amount of power for such a compact design.

    Actually very disappointed in the XBOX series S. It is mainly the performance. I have a series X and am mainly a PC gamer. the X and S are TOTALLY different devices and are seemingly years apart with graphical power and speed. Do not get an S if you care about having good graphics. It simply does not have the power output it should for the price of the console. The ONE X is actually much better graphically than the S without the NVMe storage for load speeds. The games that are at 120hz honestly look like Xbox 360 titles downsampled to 720P and even 480. Look the GPU specs up for yourself. The series X is worth way more than the price gap between the two. Get the series X! Trust me.. I have both and a one X!

    Great entry console. Packs a punch graphically into a cost effective package, if you can live without discs. Son loves it, no complaints.

    The xbox series x is definitely worth it. It has super fast loading speeds compared to last gens and I personally noticed higher resolution and better gaming performance. Too. All around plus for me. Get it 9f you can. You will be happy.

    I have a 1080p TV and do not plan to upgrade soon. The fast load times are worth the upgrade to the new generation Xbox. I also think that the picture is better (even at 1080p - 60hz)...but that could also be placebo effect.

    My 11 year old son loved his console. Xbox Series S is a very good console for kids but; If you want a console with all the toys and that is something more full gaming then the option would be the Series X.
