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 bought this thinking it was gonna be OK it actually felt like I was playing a PS3 yeah it reached 1440 resolution but it was nothing great it was slow low times and when you have a PS five it doesn’t obviously compare to it but for what it was it was cheap $300 it did his job I actually bought the CVs Xbox because I could not play this anymore and I wanted more storage on my device still a great device for a budget but not what I would recommend for anyone who has a real gamer I guess that quote is true go big or go home

    Wait/Save for Series X

    My experience with the Series S was horrible. Only installed 2 next gen games (NBA 2k21, Call of Duty) because I intended to give it to my kid once my Series X came in. Not only did those two games take up more than half of the available storage, I had a ton of issues with crashing. Especially on NBA 2k21. Issues that don't exist with the Series X I have now. If you play lots of AAA titles, please try to secure a Series X. Extra 200 bucks for double the storage and superior performance.
