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.

    Nice system. Everything written about this system is accurate. A little difficult to get use to an all digital system. Not sure why there isn’t more apace offered but I suggest getting and external hard drive immediately.

    Finally got series s after a month of looking for either series x or s. Got it delivered with no issues, and its smaller than i thought so it saves space. Great console, i recommend it for the casual gamer.

    This console is a fantastic entryway to Game pass and quality HD gaming. It doesn't have as much storage space as the Series X but it's very easy to transfer games from an external storage device if you want to make use of the fast SSD.

    I just made the switch from PlayStation. I was worried I wouldn’t like Xbox but it’s turned out amazing. System runs great. Great size.

    I finally was able to get the new xbox series and it is way better than the Xbox one. The speed is faster. I am kind of disappointed that the price for the online games are higher than the actual disk. I would recommend this system

    I wanted the newer model, but couldn't find it anywhere. Found this one & snatched it up before anyone else did. I'm an occasional gamer who uses Xbox to relax, unwind & work out any issues that might arise in my life.

    Best entry level console for Xbox. If you can find one at a lower price it’s great having some games at 120 and also ways to use as a emulator power house.

    Super quiet, you could forget its on. Love the fact that if you have an Xbox one you can setup the series s with an app. Instructions in the box. Super small footprint. The load times are in the single digits for almost every game.

    Love this thing. Already have a PS5 but wanted Starfield. Might just drop PS plus and stick with Gamepass. Would recommend.

    These new Xbox consoles are great! Much faster than the older ones and I enjoy running them on my new TV from BestBuy. This gives me much better frames in Call of Duty and I love it! And this digital version was an awesome price!
