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.

    Just as good as series X. Not exactly all the super high end add ons but it loads super quick and keeps up with my series X. Plus you can actually find them in stores lol

    Son enjoys this Xbox. Works great, only drawback is this version does not have ability to play disc games so no ability to buy any preowned games to play on it.

    The compact size and minimalistic design should be a perfect fit for any scenario. Performance is good today but will show signs of weakness a few years ahead if you dont mind 1080p gaming this is good. For 300 it is a great value and as long as you are willing to manage the small storage capacity. if you plan on paying $200 extra for the expanded storage option just buy the series x instead

    I’m a casual X boxer and this is perfect for me. I use it as a game pass rig and love it. It’s mind blowingly small and the UI is super fast and snappy! The perfect thing to hold me over while I was looking everywhere for a PS5!

    Easy hook up. You can see the upgrades in game performance. Game Pass is the best value in gaming. I can finally play on XBL lag free. The only negative is limited storage space but my next buy will be the larger storage.

    Best deal in next gen gaming. I have a series X and the S is for my older non 4K TV. If you don’t need 4K this is the way to go. Only downside is the storage space but I bought the expansion drive to switch between the X and S.

    Awesome Xbox. Downloads games way faster than my original Xbox one. Paid the same amount as when I bought my Xbox one so it wasn’t bad at all. Digital is better for me since I have a kid that likes to destroy Xbox games.

    Worthwhile upgrade even for next gen lite. Upscaling for older games makes the ol' slog of something like a full new vegas playthrough a dream, not to mention the possibilities of that combined with the dev kit.

    Waited for this to drop and battled for months to grab a console. LOVE it. Switched back to Xbox after being on PlayStation for a few years. Compact design fits anywhere. Stage lack of hard drive space is the only issue.
