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.

    I mean, after the system software, the available memory is only 265 GB, and it takes forever to install games, and the "A" button on the controller is already sticking...but aside from all that, it's an amazing little machine!

    I just love this Xbox. I'd already begun buying online games, so I don't miss the disk. Added external HDD and great system at a great value.

    Cannot get the Series X, so I settled for this. It works as designed but the storage, for an non disc machine, is incredibly lagging.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
