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.

    Bought this for my son, aside from needing external storage it works phenomenal. Haven’t seen him much since I got so I know he loves it.

    Great backup to my ps5, I only play halo and sports titles but it does what I need it to as far as streaming movies and shows! Ps5 is miles better than this specific version of the Xbox but I get plenty of use out of it. Would highly recommend as a great budget console if you mainly play sports games. Biggest negative is lack of any first party games that are any good…

    It might be small but it packs just as much power as the Xbox Series X. Fun system and can be placed anywhere without taking up muck space.
