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.

    Broken Controller

    I bought this about two weeks ago. Everything is perfect except the controller it came with was faulty. Basically, the left bumper gets stuck everything I shoot. Tried taking it back to Best Buy to get a replacement but they wanted to replace the entire system too which is very annoying bc of my games and what not. I’m very disappointed I was sold a faulty product and I was forced to purchase a new controller in the mean time.

      Hi Leah,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with the Xbox wireless controller that came with your new Xbox Series S. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer warranty from Microsoft so we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    First Xbox I’ve owned since the 360 and holy cow is this quick. It is the perfect game pass machine. Just wish it had a little more storage.

    Works very well for what it is. Very small and quiet. Only real complaint is lack of 4k and very limited hard drive space.
