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.

    Excellent, Superfast load speeds, 120 fps on select games, next-generation experience at an affordable price! It is quiet it fits in smaller spaces and was super easy to set up if you have an existing Microsoft account.

    I love my little system. I've always been a console behind, PS3 when 4 is out etc. I got this system just before Christmas and I love it. Memory sucks so I paid for the 1TB stick which I recommend.

    For those of us who can’t get ahold of the X the S is a very suitable substitute, especially if you dont have a 4k capable display, does everything the x does minus the disk drive but in this day of digital gaming i find myself less and less worried about a disk drive every single day and as far as storage, expandable memory is so affordable these days its not even an issue. Definitely worth it.

    My 11 year old son loved his console. Xbox Series S is a very good console for kids but; If you want a console with all the toys and that is something more full gaming then the option would be the Series X.

    Great console! I still prefer a disc drive, but for the money it's well worth it. The size, or lack of, is the most amazing aspect of this console. The series S has an amazing amount of power for such a compact design.

    Very impressed by this. i have a Series X and PS5. Neither of which you can travel with. This little guy. 1440p is good enough for trips and gaming while on vacation. Very impressed. Paired with Game Pass. Can’t beat it.

    I have a switch oled and it costs more yet not quite as powerful. And I get that Nintendo markets and appeals differently. But this system performs awesomely!

    Bought this because I at on PS primarily and intend on getting the ps5. But with upcoming titles on xbox I knew I'd want to get a next gen xbox. The series s will work perfectly as I also am only running a 1080p display atm. Runs fast, little bit if resolution drop on some titles but solid for it's price. I recommend if you want to save money on next gen and/or if you plan on primarily gaming on another system.

    What can I say, a relayable little piece of machine, small, fast, 120 fps, looks great and you can play the next gen games with this, even at 1080p, in some cases up to 1440p, the graphics look awesome.
