Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Xbox Series S's low price, excellent performance, and crisp graphics. Many also praise its compact size and ease of use, finding it a great console for the family. However, some users point out the limited storage space as a significant drawback, and the lack of a disc drive is also a recurring concern for some buyers. While some experience occasional heating issues or lag, these are not universally reported problems.

    Great product. Was some confusion at the store during pickup but overall it was awesome. Internal storage does suck though. Wish i wouldve waited for the 1tb to come out.

    Wanted an inexpensive console with a large library of games (with gamepass subscription) to help keep someone entertained and distracted from chronic medical issues. This fit the bill. Just wish the built-in storage capacity was greater and lack of manufacturer competition for storage expansion means you pay a higher premium for the optional storage.

    Quick shipping. Bundle extras were unnecessary. Wouldve paid less for something that wasn't bundled with things ill never use like empty metal game cases and fortnite credits.

    Very much so an upgrade from my Advanced Warfare Xbox One. Old girl quit on me in the middle of a game so I had to purchase a new one and couldn’t be happier with the upgrade.

    Finally had to upgrade from my Xbox One, but I wasn't ready for an Xbox X price point. There is definitely a noticeable difference in speed and video quality.

    As a casual gamer (if even that), I love that most everything is web-based and simple to use. If I played more regularly, etc, the memory size would be a disappointment. I think that’s been updated in newer versions that stream most games now.

    Love it but would it have killed Microsoft to add a proper HDMI 2.1 4k 120fps cable and rechargeable controller battery instead of two AA batteries. Not best buy fault. Best buy selling rechargeable battery with charging stand for $10 and a proper HDMI for $15, problem solved.

    Got this for my fiancé's birthday. Salesman was very helpful and didn't push the bundle which i appreciated. I wanted to try one of the games so I got it anyways. Works great.

    Sleek and looks great! A good compromise if you don't want to shell out 200$ more on the X and don't care too much about the slightly worse performance
