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.

    21st Birthday and my gaming son wanted the new Xbox Series S. Loves playing Madden and the new College Football games on it with his friends. Doubles as a smart device letting him get on NetFlix, Max etc so he does not need a Smart TV at college.

    It’s worth the money for all the entertainment it provides. Both boys fight over who gets to play first. My boys love the game pass you can purchase to have access to over 100 games.

    My son loves his new Xbox. He had an older model for years before this new model. He especially likes that it is so much smaller than his older model.

    Lucked out finding this at the local BB; intent is ultimately to use this system as a placeholder until the Series X becomes more readily available due to its increased power, optical drive and increased storage. As it stands, this is a dandy little system, even smaller than my Xbox One S. Already had Gamepass Ultimate so I transferred a few titles onto the (tiny) 364-gb SSD and fired them up after installing the 4K texture packs that Xbox recommends - didn't increase the size nearly as bad as I'd feared. Titles like Outriders and POE2 loaded insanely fast, markedly improved from even the portable SSD I was using to launch them on the One S! The improved frame rates and textures were a vast improvement and I'll never go back! All of it really whets my appetite to see what the Xbox Series X is capable of with three times the processing power, but again, as a holdover this system is perfectly adequate. Careful swapping around of titles due to the limited storage will allow for optimal play conditions at all times - and if you're like me and have a substantial disc-based collection of title, you'll need the Series X to take advantage of them as well. But for what it does, this system is quite an improvement over even the One X and really shows what gaming will look like in the near future!

    Console works great, Citizens One problems.

    Console is good and I have not had any problems with it, DO NO DO USE THE CITIZEN'S ONE FINANCING OPTION. As far as I can tell so far it is just a run around making you call in each month to get a new code for Xbox Game Pass. You are better off to either buy the console by itself. Or just keep calling to get codes everyday until you have a years worth of codes.
