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.

    Internet hardware issues right out of the box. Was a dud. My son is very upset that his christmas present didn't work. The premise of this thing is internet only, so it doesn't work at all.

    Decided to return it. Not enough memory and less power. Time you upgrade the memory it will cost more than series x. It doesn’t improve much over the Xbox one x.
