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.

    Had this for almost a year now and I love it. I originally bought it just because i couldn't find a series x but i dont really feel the need to upgrade to the x because this is doing the job.

    Good Travel Unit or 2nd Xbox

    Small form factor, easy and intuitive setup. The device fan is extremely quiet. Launches games much faster than my previous gen xbox. If the series x were available, though, I would pay the extra $200 for it instead. This unit has 512GB storage, no disk drive, and processes 4 teraflops. 512GB proprietary memory expansion costs ~$200. For the cost of a memory unit I could upgrade to the series x which includes 1TB storage, a disk drive, and processes 8 teraflops.

    I love that I don’t need a special place for disks anymore. If you have a small space, love gaming, and need to keep the clutter down to a minimum, this is the system for you. Great graphics, the sound quality is fantastic, and you will love playing this system for hours.

    I couldn’t possibly be happier with this purchase. I was fortunate enough to find one of these before they sold out again but it was worth keeping up with the stocking. Getting my Xbox was quick and smooth. It’s everything you should expect from a great console and more.

    Great product. New to xbox but the load times and graphics are amazing. The game pass is nice as i can download games on my pc now too. The quick switch is also a nice plus. Downside is storage but I think everyone getting this unit is aware of this.

    Couple the Series S with Gamepass and you've got the best value in gaming period. I also have the PS5 which beginning to collect dust since I've gotten this system with the endless list of incredible games.

    Great cheaper option

    This system is best for kids who just want to do things like play fortnite. Parents this is the device you want for your kid if they are younger than 15. The bigger option series X is more for the older generation. This device is cheaper and plays games like fortnite at the same speed and power as the bigger version X. My only concern is sometimes it heats up after a while but it can easily be avoided if you stand the device up and let it breathe.

      Hey there,

      Thanks for recommending Xbox Series S, especially as a starter console for younger players. If you're still experiencing an issue with overheating, we recommend making sure that it's placed in a well-ventilated spot with 2-4 inches of clearance around it and that its vents are unobstructed. We hope you and your family have a lot of fun with your new Xbox.

      Happy gaming,

    This was a great little piece of machinery. I enjoyed everything about using the XS. Enjoyed it so much that I decided to return it for the Series X. I don’t notice much difference between the two but I always buy the highest model.

    I got the series x first and then the series s console. The series s is my spare portable No difference other than storage. The Seagate Ssd card is 219 so for another 80 dollars you get a portable next gen xbox. I will get the seagate since you can use it on both.
