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.

    It’s a really cool system beautiful graphics and fast processing but I’m old..lol and use to physical disc so it’s odd playing without one. I’m gonna get the X Series as soon as I can.

    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.

    It was a great XMAS gift for a friend. He hadn't upgraded to any NEXTGen console, this was a nice priced half way entrance for him.

    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.

    The Series S is awesome when you have an Xbox Game Pass. I put the Series S in the upstairs TV, while my Series X is on the main TV. The Series S looks nice and is compact.
