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 are looking for next gen gaming on a budget, look no further! Whisper quiet operation, 1080p up to 4k 60FPS, and easy operation. I have had no issues with this console in my first few weeks of use. Do not mistake this console as a second rate experience. This small console is a monster of a gaming experience!!

    So the scoop on this little guy is that it's about as powerful as the Xbox one X from last gen. If you mostly play games that have been around for awhile (destiny, GTA 5, halo games), this console will do a good job. It is important to note that some games aren't well optimized for the S, even though MS requires it. Ascent, for example, struggled until several patches addressed it.

    The pickup was simple and easy, as well as the order. As soon as I got it home, my son loved every moment of the reveal. It didn't have any problems, it came with its own controller, and also with the wiring HDMI cord. So it was perfect in every way.

    We’ve been super impressed! My daughter was thrilled to finally have an upgraded XBOX; I was smart and purchased an external 2TB Game Drive (black p10) to make downloads easier and to prevent lagging, PERFECT! And I went ahead and purchased an extra wireless remote (Heads Up! It needs an Xbox Wireless adapter or USB-C cable) and a dual charging station. Our setup is working flawlessly and the whole family has been utilizing the new system.

    I am fairly impressed with the console even though I wish it had more storage it plays everything at a decent resolution and it's very fast. I added a 2tb seagate hdd to store all the non optimized games and got a rechargeable battery pack for the controller. With game pass I'm set for years of gaming. I also got the ps5, but I enjoy both

    I bought the Xbox series s to have it as a travel console because I didn’t wanted to take the series x everywhere since it’s a bigger console and I can’t be more satisfied with it , it is small enough to have it as a portable console , and the performance is outstanding , highly recommend

    Great little machine. The games run smooth, quick resume feature works seamlessly, the console makes no noise whatsoever. As a first time xbox user, I’m truly happy I switched from playstation. Xbox S + gamepass pretty much cover all my gaming needs. I don’t have a 4k TV so that never was something I considered. I would highly recommend it, especially if you’re trying to get a big console but can’t due to restock issues. This will do you just fine for a few years.

    Best video game console value of this generation. Series S delivers next-gen flavor without making you spend so much. Its fast, clean, doesnt heat, its so silent. Gives you lots of game, new and old with backwards compatibility. New games looks awesome even with the limited Ram. Xbox Ssd make loading times super fast. As a PS fan since 1995, i very impressed by this console, a true marvel.
