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.

    Excellent purchase for light gamer. The original Xbox started at $299 forever ago, that just shows the value you get for this next gen hardware.

    Life saver I got this for a gift for my husband and got it just before his Xbox one died! It doesn’t take up as much room as the Xbox one.

    To me it does the same thing the Series X does just no disc. The graphics are good even on a regular 1080 tv

    The xbox is good and i like the size compared to my old xbox one s. However there are not a ton of games made specifically for the hardware.

    Great Console for those who just want to dip their toes into the Next Gen without going all in, plus the Backwards Compatibility is still amazing. And if you get RetroArch on this thing, then the floodgates open up wide.

    Bought it for a friend and and it was a substantial upgrade from their base Xbox One. At $300 this is a great value, especially when combined with Game Pass.

    Very good console for casual gamers. It is a great investment if coupled with Xbox ultimate pass with tons of games and you don't worry about changing disks.

    A nice speedy upgrade from last gen. If you have a great Oled tv, go for the Series X. Otherwise this works well for the rest.
