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.

    Would recommend this console, but the downside is that there is no place to put your disk in, so you have to buy digital.

    If you can afford the X get it over this. Storage capacity is annoying. Other than that totally worth it

    The item is great, although the decision on delivery was very sub-par. I ordered directly from a store nearest me and they (Best Buy) decided it should come from 3,000 miles away when it was already in stock from the specific store I ordered from. Fail on beat buy’s end.

    Cant play baldurs gate lol

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Well the series s is starting to show that it is holding back the X. Baldurs gate 3 release on ps5 already. Was supposed to launch same day on xbox…nope. Because they having problems with the S. The S is fine for streaming movies and playing most games on gamepass. Its a casual machine at best. If you want to make sure your system will run newer games get a series x or ps5. But the S is a slap in the face from microsoft. But its microsoft. 3rd place every console gen.

    Faulty product, Xbox Support Won't Help.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Came with a faulty controller. The replacement Xbox sent was lost in the mail, and 3 months later, regularly contacting Xbox support, no one can help me get a new one sent. Honestly, if I could still return it I would, because this has been a headache and I ended up having to buy another controller because Xbox won't help me. All in all, I've wasted money and wasted way too much time on phone and email trying to get this sorted out.
