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.

    Very reliable. For the price of the console you're really getting a lot. Quick resume is a great function, just don't rely on this function for online games, for obvious reasons. It loses one star because the xbox one controller that is included got stick drift within 6 months.

    Solid next gen console for a great price! Know what you’re getting before buying. Great as a secondary console or the gamer who’s not ready to totally dive into all that next gen gaming has to offer.

    Okay, not as good as the Xbox Series X, but...definitely worth the price. I have had both systems and can tell a SMALL difference with the performance, but overall, this for me was the better choice because of the price being less than the X by about $200!

    Not a fanboy, just an average gamer

    So far so good. I'll start by saying I'm not the Xbox fanboy. I went for both systems but couldn't snag a PS5 but was able to get the series X and S on the first drop. Now for the series S, the console has been running very smoothly and is quiet. I've seen a noticeable difference in download speed which is a nice improvement. As for the temperature, I have noticed a fair amount of heat being put off after running for an hour on the same game as the series x model which isnt the best. It feels a bit like a small infrared heater. I did check the temperature of the series S model after an hour of 2k and it read out around 113 degrees fahrenheit. Overall the series x and the S are built very well.

    I am not a gamer. But this is a great console to play casually for a few hours over the weekend when you've got free time.
