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.

    Only problem that I have with this system is that it heats up very quick. I suggest buying a third party party fan to keep it cool.

    Much better quality than previous one, loads fast. I’m getting some errors when loading some games. I’m really missing the disk reader, still have games disks from the older one. If you have a bunch of game disks and if you can wait for the X model, do it.
