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 am very happy with my purchase. My new Xbox series S arrived a day early and setup was easy. My only gripe was how hard it is now to open the controller to put in batteries. I had to use a butter knife to open it. But it works perfectly. I would have loved to get an Xbox series X, but this is perfect.

    I love the console everything about it is amazing. The load speed is unbelievable. The graphics quality amazing. To be able to quit a game load another then come back to the game in the same spot amazing. Wanted the series X for the disk drive but couldn’t get it. But love the series S. So I’m glad I bought it

    I have enjoyed playing Xbox again. I love not having to keep up with the disks since I move a lot. The disks were extra weight and kept getting "misplaced" during packing and moving. This new system is so much better. I can play any game my family, friends, and I choose at any time. I love it.

    Awsome for people who are unsure if tje want to commit a lot of money into next gen gaming. Definitley want to buy segate expansion storge card cus 512 gbs not even after intial set up is enoigh for maybe 4 big games if your lucky def gnna need the xtea gig. Know witb that said youd be better off buying the seris x because of the limited storage problem is u cant get one anywhere so if your eager to see what a dumbed down verision of next gen gaming is like this is hout the only option and its looing like at leat another year before pst and seris x is readily avalable.

    My boys and I love our Xbox! I enjoy having the subscription for us but there are a few that I had to purchase which is cool too. The picture quality is amazing and I enjoy the sound effects on our surround sound system.

    Gor $250, you can't get better than the Series S. Especially for someone with a 1080p TV, the X was unnecessary. This is the way to go for using Game Pass

    X versus S

    Lacks storage and 4k. Overall if its your secondary gaming platform its convenient and affordable. I did had to buy the Seagate 1TB Xbox memory card since an external hard drive is only good for loading last Gen games. For optimized games or X/S games it only installs on internal drive or Seagate Xbox memory card for the $250. So, XBox X pays for it self since you already get 1TB, 4k player, and you can buy used games at GameStop for way less. but i got what i could at the time of extreme demand for any new Gen Consoles. And Best Buy was able to accommodate me at a professional matter. thank you

    For the money its perfect 4k next gen, buying at least a 1tb external hard drive is a must. If you don't need or won't 8k for future this console is for you.

      Hi there,

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S. Investing in an external hard drive is an excellent suggestion, especially if you have a library of Xbox games that haven't been enhanced for the console's internal SSD. Thanks for sharing your experience; we hope you have fun with it.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    For those who desire to stick with Microsoft products, this is a steal. A next generation console at this price was impossible to ignore. It’s very compact for a console. Can pump out 1440p at 60fps but probably won’t run 1440p at 120fps. Perfect for those who don’t need 1TB of space or can support 4K.

    I find this device very fun and useful! I love not having to use a disk! It saves so much more space! And the console itself is smaller which is great! It helps with keeping less space used!

    Upgraded from XBOX 360 and it’s amazing value for $300. Game pass ultimate together with this will assure hours and hours of amazing entertainment with incredible graphics. Thought I might need X series but I’m blown away by games like Assassins creed that look phenomenal.

    I bought two of these for my kids for Christmas. I figured it would just be a smaller digital version of the Xbox One S consoles that they were replacing. I finally checked it out for myself and was very surprised to notice a big improvement in graphics. The Xbox menu is also a lot snappier in performance. The kids are very happy with it as am I.
