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.

    Great product! Everything about this console is superb! The only thing I would recommend is that you make sure to get a TV that has Hdmi 2.1 connectivity otherwise your defeating the purpose of having a next gen console!

    This item caught me off guard as you wouldn’t expect anything from it in terms of performance and power due to its size but I was totally wrong! This console has the power and performance to keep up with the best of them!

    Incredible product and I honestly don’t miss the disc drive. Lightning fast and incredible graphics. Easy to set up and I don’t care for 4K as these graphics are incredible enough (plus I don’t want to have to buy a new TV)

    This is the best Xbox ever made only the series x is better and in my opinion better than all the PlayStations because you can almost every Xbox game on this system starting with the very first Xbox Amazing.

    Previously owned the first xbox one that launched, so this upgrade was very worth it. The console boots up/launches games up very quick compared to older Xbox’s. Would recommend if you are trying to play on next gen hardware.

    Xbox Series X is nice but if you just want it to experience the next-gen gaming then this is the one for you! I just wanted it to play certain Xbox-only games and it worked like a charm.

    I’ve had this console for about 3 weeks now and it’s amazing. The loading times on games are very fast! If you’re coming from an Xbox One S, the loading times will be the biggest difference. Highly recommend!

    If you’re not really big on gaming and only buy a couple games every few months, model is an ok starting point. A lot of games take tons of storage so if you aren’t looking to buy an external, keep a careful eye on what you download.
