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.

    We absolutely love playing on the new Series S. With game pass, switching between games is instant. The system is small enough that it can fit anywhere. Highly recommended!

    I'm glad I bought this. I thought about getting the version with the disk player, but I mostly game online anyway, so I figured it wouldn't be worth the extra money.

    My next purchase after a switch gave me the gaming bug again. Last xbox i owned was a 360 and this is quite the upgrade. I know M$ was aoming for a price point but the only 512GB (like 384 usable) is not enough for an all digital device. That being said, unless u have a newer 4k 120hz tv, this is plenty of console and likely easier to get than the series x.

    Great system for a value price definitely worth every penny. Can play system for several hours and no overheating or system shut down. I am a huge Playstation fan but with these new upgrades xbox is giving sony a run for their money!

    This console is by far one of the best consoles I have ever own. I have switched to digital games for a while already and this console is perfect if You switched from the actual discs to digital. It super fast and the graphics are great.

    This is great, it plays new games and it is very quiet and size is easy to fit on your shelf. Only down side is internal storage capacity. Should be 1TB as this is today what is standard storage size.

    Does everything the series x can do save the storage and native 4K. Neither a big deal for me as it upscales. Up to 120 fps when supported. I’ve been buying digital forever so that’s no issue either. Love it!

    I wanted the newer model, but couldn't find it anywhere. Found this one & snatched it up before anyone else did. I'm an occasional gamer who uses Xbox to relax, unwind & work out any issues that might arise in my life.

    Great gaming console with an even greater price. For $300 you get a lot of gaming power and the Xbox still comes with the best controller ever made. Pair it up with an hard drive expansion and you are good to go!

    Great system, graphics are top notch, super fast loading of games as well. Size of the console it's self is cool too, small enough to put anywhere. If you are ok with not have a physical disk drive, this console is perfect for you.

    This console is a fantastic entryway to Game pass and quality HD gaming. It doesn't have as much storage space as the Series X but it's very easy to transfer games from an external storage device if you want to make use of the fast SSD.
