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 little machine for the price. It has full backwards compatibility and I was able to play my old games without issues. Much better buy than a PlayStation.

    Love the game selection, download speed, and graphics are good. Bought this for my son and we were both impressed. We also have the PS5 but this one is a good complimentary system.

    This is a scaled down version of the Xbox Series X. Its really not that bad though. We still get 4k60 w Forza Horizon. Be sure to pick up the game pass as well; its a nice discount. Also, we love that the unit doesn't take up too much real estate. The thing I don't seemingly like is the UI as its not that intuitive.

    Great power in a small package, I had no lags or problems when running next-gen games. Even though the hardware isn’t powerful, it’s still packing a punch.

    No disc drive makes it impossible to play previously owned Xbox games unless you bought them digitally and the storage space gets used up quick. Get a series X if you had a previous generation Xbox system or else you will end up regretting this purchase

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Okay, not as good as the Xbox Series X, but...definitely worth the price. I have had both systems and can tell a SMALL difference with the performance, but overall, this for me was the better choice because of the price being less than the X by about $200!
