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.

    Runs fast, is quiet, is a definite improvement from our Xbox One. Have had some issues with downloading games though.

    Only thing I don’t like is that the games on the external hard drive load the same if not slower than the Xbox ones.
