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.

    Love this console! Combined with gamepass, ive been able to play a lot of games on here that i was surprised theyd even have on the next gen consoles! Batteries that came with the xbox lasted me maybe a month or so, however.

    I finally was able to get the new xbox series and it is way better than the Xbox one. The speed is faster. I am kind of disappointed that the price for the online games are higher than the actual disk. I would recommend this system

    Great little console. Even when playing on 4k/60hz TV, it looks great while sitting on the couch. I play few hours every week and so far it is excellent. It is wiser quite. Only negative is small storage.

    Overall love it ! Unboxed it a few days back and i’m fairly impressed. Runs fast and has some great new features. Don’t pay attention to the size of the console so much ur not using the outside anyways.

    It's smaller than I expected. Space is limited if that matters to you. No disk drive if you have games on disk. If you're on a budget and this is what you're looking for, get it, otherwise I'd recommend the series x. Other than that, a good unit. Ordered for curbside pickup, which was a good experience.

    I can't say enough good things about this Xbox Series S. Great console that was definitely not on my radar but I took a chance on it and it delivered. Yes, it doesn't go to 4K, but that doesn't stop it from being great.

    I love the Series S. It's small, easy to travel with and a perfect Game Pass gaming console. You can't get used games or trade disks with friends anymore which sucks but its only 300 bucks. Perfect for a second T.V. or a kids room.

    The graphics & load times are improved but the 512GB fills up fast. The system requires 140GB which leave around 372GB for games... not much. You can only storage games on an external HD, not play directly from the external HD. If you want to store more games on your console, you need a Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S 1TB Solid State Drive ($220.00)

    These new Xbox consoles are great! Much faster than the older ones and I enjoy running them on my new TV from BestBuy. This gives me much better frames in Call of Duty and I love it! And this digital version was an awesome price!

    I originally bought this for the master chief collection, but ended up buying other things I grew up playing when I had my 360. My only complaint so far is the controller. It feels good to hold, but the logo button is unresponsive at times and takes several presses for it to do anything.

    Super quiet, you could forget its on. Love the fact that if you have an Xbox one you can setup the series s with an app. Instructions in the box. Super small footprint. The load times are in the single digits for almost every game.

    One of the best price to performance consoles that has ever been released. Seriously you can do so much with this thing and it is so much quicker than an X1X for the same price.

    Needed to upgrade my game system and since Sony bent the knee to China. My first Xbox since the very first one made. It’s amazing! Picture quality I just take a moment to look at the backgrounds and the details on the 4K.
