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 for anyone with Xbox GamePass! Highly portable. The black one coming out in September will have 1TB of storage onboard, but this one is upgradeable if you want to buy expansion cards. A good bargain! I play it every day!

    I was skeptical coming from a PC. But honestly the performance and convenience is awesome. The quick resume is amazing and storage can be expanded with an external drive.

    I know people have different resasons to get the lower end models, but I'd recommend getting the Xbox Series X over this one. In my opinion, 512 gb of memory is not enough. I mean sure you can get more storage, but you might as well spend a little more and get the disc version. This would be a cool gift, but I'd personally get the X over the S any day.

    I’m glad I decided to go with the series S rather the the series X, I had purchased a PS5 and was able to save money with this product. The series S with game pass is a great value!

    I use this as a secondary Xbox Series Console, since it fits nicely on my desk in my office, and works perfectly for streaming and backup gameplay when I am unable to use the Series X.
