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 wanted the series x but could not find it at best buy they were sold out. This unit actually fits better in my entertainment center and is super fast! Love the fps in my new monitor!

    Great Xbox and if you like 1440p gaming for the most part this is for you. Long live Xbox! Once you add GamePass, you will never want for another game to play again

    I really wanted the series x but became impatient and these are a lot easier to get. I got the xbox, a lime green controller, and the game pass ultimate. A pro tip is to get the game pass from Microsoft for a dollar and then when you buy the series s, bundle the game pass ultimate for three more months for 33 dollars or so. Then you have six months of ultimate for about 35 dollars. The series S makes the pictures on my 4k tv look awesome. I already had an external hard drive from my original xbox one and I didn't have to transfer one thing. Setup was easy. Would highly recommend if you are willing to buy the game pass because that is the cheapest way to own this system. For reference, I am a casual gamer, don't play much and watch a lot of movies on my consoles. Hope this helps.

    I got this system before I got the Series X and it is basically the same thing just less expensive and with Game Pass you are in gaming heaven. Save your money and get this one instead of the X if you are a casual gamer.

    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.

    Really enjoy the Series S - great opportunity to get a foot in next Gen without breaking the bank. Playing with friends on the One X really made apparent the impacts of the M2 drive. It’s much smaller than I anticipated which is great!

    Had it for about a month and I have to say it’s been a great machine. I’ve owned many Xbox’s and this one by far in regards to functionality, performance, and quality is the best one I have owned.

    Even without the disk slot, it is still an amazing console. I have quite a few games on disk, but they still run just fine on my Xbox One S. Got this console to play driving games like Forza.
