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.

    Great system. It runs smoothly and I haven’t had issues. Get the SD card to increase storage and you won’t be sorry

    Awesome new Xbox and great graphics. It just really needs a disc drive. Microsoft should make a Series S with disc drive option. Because I can't play any of the games I have on disc. It is a good system but if it had a disc drive I would give it 5 stars.

    Beast of a system. Although you sacrifice memory the Xbox still performs just as good as a series X. Personally I’d wait till series X become more available. I just got the S for the living room.

    Perfect for Warzone!

    Warzone player here. Perfect to setup with a gamin monitor. Get it with AMD Freesync technology and use variable refresh rate. The x box has AMD freesync tech FYI. 1080p at 120fps. It’s the closest to a pc at a fraction of the cost. Fast load time and I am able to download warzone, multi player in Cold War and modern warfare. Memory is at 68%. No need got memory expansion if I don’t download the campaign etc. I pair it with the series x and go ham! Best bang for your buck!! Get it! You won’t be let down.

    The series S is sleek and compact. The SSD delivers fast load times and the hardware itself provides improved frame rate over previous generation. The only gripe is you can't use the full 512 GB of memory and does not upscale image to 4K.

    I honestly only bought this because it was the only kind of next gen console I could get my hands on, but it's actually a pretty impressive piece of hardware. Runs smoothly and the games are legit. Only downside is the small storage space

    Easy to set up, but I would recommend getting an external drive or upgrading the memory. I filled it up fast with the game pass.

    This is my 2nd xbox series s that ibuy. We have a total of 4 systems in our household for family fun. 2 series s and 2 series x. If u can i recommend getting the series x. This only has 400ish gigs of space. So if u need to buy the seagate expansion pack the 1 tb is alone 220, which this sytem with that expansion turns out more expansive then the seriesx. But if u just playing cloud games, this will do the trick.
