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.

    Awesome for its size and price. If you don’t have a 4k tv i would recommend this since you can get 1440 display and 60fps. This is plenty fine for most people.

    Best way to game, with the prices that graphic cards are now, and all out of stock, this is the most afordable way to play the best games out there.

    It's a pretty good system the only too problems I have with it is you are at the mercy of their online store and #2 Microsoft's DRM is not good But hopefully they fix it So it doesn't impede on people that are getting the games legally.

    5 stars for what it is. Perfect for me because I'm not buying a new TV to be compatible with the X. S is much more tailored to my setup.

    It’s a good budget system if you already have a PS5 or Series X. Def a good system for younger kids. Bought for my kids while I have the higher end Series X. If you don’t have either the PS5/SEries X it would be smarter just to save a few more bucks and upgrade to those instead of the series s

    If you’re coming from an Xbox One it will be night and day. If you’re coming from a One X it will still be an amazing difference. Prep for storage management though. An external drive is great even if games cant be played from it because it’s faster to install from a drive than d/l
