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.

    It was alright. Definitely not as good as the series X, but for the price, really good starter box. It plays most optimized games well. Can't ask for anything more than that.

    Amazing console for the price. The faster drive makes load times minimal. Hopefully the Series X will become available sometime.

    So fast. Definitely worth it if you don’t want to spend the money on the other Xbox that is supposedly faster.
