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.

    Pretty cool, super fast too. The fact that it was able to transfer all the old games and settings from the old Xbox seamlessly was worth the price for me right there.

    I purchased this product for my boyfriend. He did mention that there were some glitches but after updating our internet service no further problems have been noted. He will need to buy more storage since it’s all digital and some games take up a lot of storage. Otherwise, it’s a good buy. (Wish I got the X though)

    These seem to be easier to get than a series x, i got it for game pass as i mostly use my ps5 for gaming. It's a solid little machine no complaints here.

    Its a good Budget console for game pass older games that are small in memory if you play cod you will need an ssd in total you will stll pay around the same price as the x but will get more memory if you get the samsung 1 tb or a 2tb hdd for the same price all if you dont mind the wait a few min to transfer files its not that bad but in total a great console but i gave it a 3 star due to the fact it only has 368gb in free storage if Microsoft made a pro version for the s with all the same spec as the x wouldn't hesitate on grabbing that too and have this as my bed room

      Hi Jorge,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your new Xbox Series S. If you're also playing older backward compatible Xbox games that aren't enhanced for Xbox Series X/S, you may also add more storage by adding a standard external hard drive. While enhanced games may not be played directly from it, all other games can be.

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck
