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.

    Always have been a playstation guy, but the game pass is amazing. I never have to buy a game just buy ultimate game pass when on sale. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to be much better then the previous xbox. I might not realize the difference if I wasn't paying attention.

    This is very small and it weighs around 5 pounds and its very quiet and downloading games on the internal storage is very fast. This is recommended for those who have game passes and wants to play it there besides PC cause Outriders is coming to game pass day one for consoles only.

    Purchased this after I was one of the lucky ones who was able to get the series X at launch, tried getting one for my brother, but this one was the only one available and I was lucky enough at the time to get it for him. He likes it, it's fast for being it's amazingly small size.

    I gave this as a Christmas present and my son absolutely loved it! He owned a Xbox One S before this one and he was really happy about the extra storage, the controller ergonomics and faster start up. Definitely recommend if don’t already have one.

    This little box is so amazing man if you’re on the fence about it just get it. You got so many game choices with game pass and fast speeds and doing 60fps or even 120 at a $300 value is amazing. Very smart on Microsoft for making this

    Anyone buying this has to also consider the series x. While this offers astounding value for 300 dollars. Versus the series x (200 dollars more), you are giving up over half of the internal storage (external does not work with this generation of games), and the extra power to play most everything in 4k. This console is fairly compact and light, but for the entire generation ahead of us, lacking 4k is going to hurt more and more.

    My son loves it and it works perfectly. Added bonus that it does not take up very much room on his desk. We bought it to replace a defective PS5 and I think my son likes it even more than the PS5 because of how easy it is to use.

    This thing is a great bit of fun along side the ps5 and my gaming pc. I really enjoy using this for gamepass stuff but i might be disappointment if it was my only system. Very similar graphics than the one x, more frames and faster load time but looks similar

    No complaints at all…it’s what is advertised. It’s the cheaper and mych more available alternative to the Series X. If you don’t mind downloading your games rather than using discs, this suits you. It’s remarkably small as well, very transportable.

    Incredible loading times and entry level storage capacity, the controller feels good, ad both are very portable and easy to store as the power cable doesn't have the large adapter as older gen consoles.

    For the price, extremely hard to beat. Great performance but really the one con is the storage size. Depending on the games you play, this console might only be able to hold 3 games max. Not necessarily Microsoft’s fault that game developers make their file sizes so big though!
