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 got this console for my son and he loves it. Games start so much faster than the last xbox consoles plus the size is still small.

    I wasnt expecting this to be much better than an Xbox One. But there's no comparison. I later bought a Series X for my son and I honestly dont see much of a difference between them. I'm happy with it and would buy it again.

    This Xbox by far exceeds my Xbox one. The only thing is the low storage. Definitely recommend getting some kind of extra storage. I got a swathe 2tb external storage from Amazon.

    Excellent system would be greater if it had more storage space (I know this is smaller than the X). Overall excellent.
