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.

    Great for what it is. If you have a 4K HDTV, I recommend the Xbox Series X. However, if you have anything less than 4K, the Xbox Series S has all the capability you need for a digital setup.

    The console itself is very impressive when considering what it is capable of relative to its size and price. One note is that storage is a bit low after downloading the OS updates, so an external hard drive is necessary. Had to return because the controller was defective, even after Microsoft service repairs. Overall, great purchase for kids to begin their gaming journey!

    This is about the streamline for the Series S product. Getting access to the games is very efficient, and I realize that the disc version is very powerful. However, it does the trick in providing entertainment.

    Best Budget Console On The Market!

    Best bang for your buck console on the market currently. $300 for this absolute powerhouse of a console. Only thing I'm pretty sad about is the disc drive but that's fine, It's a good trade off. Switched from a Xbox S To This console and the comparison is like night and day. Cooling on the console is decent it's what you'd expect definitely dust the console every other month. Playing cyberpunk 2077 is super smooth, Apex Legends so much smoother and no constant freezing! If anyone has a older gen console and looking to upgrade, get this console. To me, this is the best console for just regular gaming which is what consoles are meant for! 10/10 Product Good Job Xbox!

    I purchased this for traveling (I have a Series X at home). I have been very pleasantly surprised with the performance, I don't notice much of a difference compared to the X. If you are on a budget and lean towards downloads anyways, I would highly recommend this model. Only thing I would do differently is purchasing the newer model with more storage...probably worth the price difference.

    SMALL CONSOLE, BIG FUN

    I bought it after doing research of which console brand would best suit my needs/wants. I chose this one for its backwards compatibility of several games I like to play from the 360. I also chose it because it's purple. It comes with a game code for Fortnite which you need to have an xbox live subscription in order to play. I don't have that so I gave my code to someone else. I paid $249 for this bundle and have been happy with it. The game play is smooth, I can connect my echo device to it and I can use my phone as a controller to play games and control other aspects of the system. This xbox has so many features that I have found to be very useful.
