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.

    If you're into a budget and looking into next-gen gaming, this is the console for you, much more powerful than the ONE X and at an affordable price

    My boyfriend loves it! He can now play with his friend who has series x. It's small but powerful! Loads a big game like GTAV in just seconds.

    Much better quality than previous one, loads fast. I’m getting some errors when loading some games. I’m really missing the disk reader, still have games disks from the older one. If you have a bunch of game disks and if you can wait for the X model, do it.

    Great next gen console. Not as powerful as the new Xbox X, but it plays all the same games, is smaller, and costs $200 less. Very satisfied

    Cheapest next gen console in the market. With XBox Game Pass you can play lots of games without a mess of discs. The small size is a plus.

    Great upgrade from my older XBOX s. 120 frames is smooth as butter, and it loads games much quicker too. Def worth the hassle of trying to buy one
