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.

    I purchased this product for my boyfriend. He did mention that there were some glitches but after updating our internet service no further problems have been noted. He will need to buy more storage since it’s all digital and some games take up a lot of storage. Otherwise, it’s a good buy. (Wish I got the X though)

    Bought this for my husband and he’s very happy with it. I like the size and the way it’s slim look differs from the old clunky Xbox looked..

    Really great system for the price. You might not get that 4k/60fps experience, but for 1080p, it is fantastic. Quick load times and GamePass is a game changer.

    my husband loved it, it’s a good option if you want the xbox but don’t want to pay the series X price, the differences are minimal

    It’s definitely good for what it is but if you can get your hands on it do yourself a favor and just get the series X for the additional storage and better frame rate. My TV could detect that this could do 120 frames per second but certain games lost frame rate with this one

    This is pretty good the price. Not that big of a difference in terms of performance and graphics on the other next gen consoles such as the ps5 or the Xbox series x.

    I use mine with an ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor which natively streches to fit. Load times with the ssd are way faster than the older xboxes. Got mine around black friday for $240 and it came with a controller too. If you dont play a lot of disc games and arent using it with a 4k tv this is the one to get.

    Great console for the price - only thing I could harp on is the storage, just isn't enough for a digital only console! Would for sure recommend a external hard drive. Other than not having 4k gaming, the 4k video makes up for it. Glad I was able to get the last one in stock at my location.

    Al most a year i was looking for a console but finally bought XBox s , its a great and quality product, but one thing not all the games are migrated to cloud yet. So we have to buy an external hard disk if you want to install many games , minimum each game requires 25 gb space
