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.

    Simple set up. Nice design. Easier to navigate TV functions with the controllers than with our universal remote!

    I don’t use physical copies of games so the digital version has been perfect. I also usually try to only play 1-2 games at a time so the space on it is not an issue at all, but it’s nice that you can expand storage if necessary, It’s quite small so it fits perfectly where I need it to and it’s super responsive and quick. I haven’t owned a new game system since I was in high school so it’s quickness was a nice surprise. Also picking it up at the store was the easiest thing I’ve ever done(as opposed to finding one to purchase).

    Truly a great value for a console. Although you do forego a disc drive, you can store games on an external hard drive.

    The series s is a great console for casual gamers. Pair it with game pass and you get a very affordable way to play next gen games. The biggest con is the storage size, which will fill up quickly with games. If you plan on expanding the storage, I would recommend just going to the series x which starts with double the capacity. The official storage expansion is over $200 for 1tb of data, so you aren't saving much money with the series s of you want more space. If you don't care about 4k and just want to game, the series s is great.

    Storage is a bit small for being an all digital console, but if you can look past that this is a very capable gaming machine at the pricepoint, even better so with gamepass.
