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.

    Coming from a non-pro PS4, the startup and load times are lightning fast! It didn’t take long to get used to the controller either. I don’t like changing the batteries tho >:(

    The SSD on the Xbox Series S is awesome. So many games load up almost instantly. I do wish that it came with a 1TB drive instead of the 512GB but I know they had to do that to keep the costs down.

    My xbox one broke down at the beginning of the year and finally found this replacement. This little device paired with the new storage device is the simple set up i was looking for.

    Great machine ... speed, crisp graphics, super sound. My only complaint is with Microsoft. I have a number of disc based XBOX One and 360 games that are compatible with the Series S however I have to rebuy them; there should be a disc trade in program ... I'd even be ok paying a nominal $5 trade in fee

    Set this up in my living room TV at 4k60FPS because that's what my TV supports. (I believe it's actually 1440P upscaled to 4k) For the budget Xbox this is really nice. Worth it for me to save the money on the series X since I'll only play Console only games(MLB and maybe halo one day) on it or some games for the kids will be on it.

    Good device. I’ve had only one problem and that’s the Wi-Fi connection. Sometime it disconnects and doesn’t show no Wi-Fis at all and won’t connect to no services until after resetting and turning, off and on.

    Awesome console at a fairly affordable price point. Perfect if you dont plan on getting a fancy new 4k tv and game on a 1080p television or 1080/1440p monitor

    This console is a steal, definitely worth the $300, this can also be used as an emulator for ps2 xbox, dreamcast games etc, and fast loading times so much in one tiny console
