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.

    Really great console. Way faster than a last gen console. Better graphics,speed,and capabilities. Took me a few months to find one but finally did on the best buy website. Was worth the hunt. I would definitely suggest not skipping this console.

    This make a great secondary console to my Ps5 that I will primarily game on. Loading times on this is phenomenal and I love the resume feature that allows me to jump straight to a game that I am playing. I only wished that this output native 4K resolution. The storage size is ok for now as I will only use the console for game pass games and don’t necessarily need a lot of games installed at once. All in all good value for what you paid.

    Great Console, very good purchase and would totally recommend to friends. Works great after a month of use, and was easy to pick up. Terrible storage though, might want to get a hard drive such as a segate to make your storage better :)

    A tiny beast, can rarely tell the difference of games played on my series s and my series x. A viable affordable option for those new to gaming

    It provides great value as a secondary platform. I'm a primarily PC gamer and I bought the Series S for its backwards compatibility for the games that missed PC and Game Pass (PC game pass is a technical mess not worth bothering with). Pair that with Microsoft rewards points that you can get from using the Xbox and playing Game Pass games and the value is hard to beat if your taste in games lines up with what's on offer.

    Very fast and super clear picture. Coming from PS4 this device is a must. Battelfield is way more clear and quick and snappy. Halo looks incredible and the load time to install games are fast. Easily can store 5 or 6 games.

    This should hold me off till the X is available. Originally didn't want the series s or x as I have a PS5. After getting game pass it is totally worth it and now just waiting till I can buy an Xbox series. I need the disc drive for my older games.

    Perfect console for someone who doesn’t play that often or is addicted to one or two games. Got as a gift for my GF who plays Assassins Creed, she was playing on the older Xbox X and loved the improved graphics on this console.

    I really wanted my grandson to get the series X but I could only find one of those. So this is what o got him and he loves it. It’s really fun playing online and being able to just play and not have load times or freezing frames.

    This console is the best!! I had a lot of fun playing. Really convenient too because with the game pass, it allows you to play many games that isn’t available on the switch/ps5.
