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.

    Some opportunities

    Had the series s for almost a month and have been noticing some hardware issues (system turning itself off during gameplay or the display from the system to the tv momentarily going out). Will definitely need to contact Microsoft. Other than that the system is great and the disc free set up is definitely a great space saver. Would suggest getting an external hard drive for additional memory though.

    Great console if it's an addition to your Switch/PS5. Highly recommended for those on a budget and/or with older 4K/1080p TVs.

    *An amazing console, but only when it’s on sale. For 300$ you could spend 100 more and get a ps5 digital and get Xbox series X performance. Very compact and could be good for traveling.

    I LOVE this thing! My favorite part about the console itself is how small it is. It's smaller than my NES! This was a great move by the XBOX team.

    One of the best console so far. The load time is better and graphics are very good. I have to invest in a hard drive to store more games
