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.

    If you can live without the disc drive and smaller

    Absolutely love it! I was one of the few lucky ones to be able to order an S 2 days ago at 11:27 AM. Performance for my needs is out standing. I’m an avid PC gamer but like to play console from time to time when I come home from work, and don’t quite feel like going on PC. Console I can just boot up and be on my way. Plus I can take it places easier than my huge desktop. I plan on upgrading to the Series X when available at a more steady rate, but this is awesome for now. 2 pics, 2nd one has controller for size comparison. (I saw how small it was online, but MAN when I pulled this sucker out of the box my mind was blown at how small it REALLY IS!

    I came into the store after the Thanksgiving sale. I bought this as a gift for a friend's son. The sale price flyers where still up. Although I said it was not necessary the store Manager honered the sale price. He was incredibly professional & friendly along with informational. He took down the sale flyers after he finished with my purchase.

    This is by far a great choice for 4k content streaming and 4k upscaled gaming. I cant hear it no matter what i throw at it which makes it the most quietest console to date especially for you late night games. If you’re a minimalist, it leaves a really small footprint to where you cant see it and a beautiful white theme. And if you’re on a budget but want to game I wholeheartedly recommend the Xbox Series S!

    Very underrated console that does everything you need it to for such a little price! Impossible to get anything these days so I decided to give the Series S a try and couldnt be happier! Switched from a ps4 slim and couldn’t be happier! No more noisy ps4 fans and laggy gameplay with terrible graphics that take 10 seconds to load in textures in games. It really surprised me how such a tiny console can be so quiet and run smoothly. It is dead silent all the time, even when I downloaded 1/3 of xbox game pass while playing Forza Horizon 5 for hours it made zero noise! Highly recommend it!

    This game console is one of the best that I have purchased. I previously purchased the 1T version in black.from Microsoft and experienced complications with the console. My son is very satisfied with this version of XBOX consoles and hope to purchase my daughter rhe smae version very soon. It was a great value and awesome console.

    The console works great, plays great, has tons of great games. I don’t know how I can give it less than 5 stars. The only problem is the storage, or rather lack thereof, but that’s what’s advertised and you can buy a bigger storage model.

    After many years, I’ve finally returned to Xbox. This is the perfect entry point for anyone that it is looking to get into the new generations. It provides most of the features you’d expect in a new gen console, while also being at an incredibly affordable price. It does have its limitations, but the price and games available make it totally worth it!

    I’m gonna start this off by saying I only really use this console for Forza Horizon 4 and 5 not really any shooter games so I cannot tell you how it looks and or performs with them, but I can tell you that it performs and looks very good with Forza Horizon 5, and 4, the only complaint that I have is it doesn’t have a digital audio optical cable like the last generation of consoles so that sucks but other than that I personally love it!

    This system worked as expected, and is good alternative to the more expensive Series X.
