Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Xbox Series S is amazing! It's fast, and the lack of a disk allows for a small, sleek design.

Right when I opened it from the box it has a weird funky smell. No, it’s not the “new” smell. It’s like the new smell mixed with the musty smell you’d get from a house full of pets. Is it new? Refurbished? I don’t know, I had to wait almost two weeks for it to arrive so I’m assuming it’s new and the smell is from manufacturing? Other than that gross smell. It’s alright, does exactly what an Xbox is supposed to do; play games. 512GB is pretty limited, but nothing storage expansion won’t fix. The new revision to the controller that launched with the Series X|S is pretty nice and leagues above the old 360 controller I’m coming from. It’s also compact and quiet, has a nice modern look to it that doesn’t go all extreme. The upscaling doesn’t look all that great when compared to native 4K. You can see within the consoles Home Screen/menus options isn’t as sharp (yes, I know it’s target resolution is 1440p, but it does have the option to select 4K in the settings and no, I’m not using a cheap TV I have it hooked up to a LG CX). I intended to use this strictly for Game Pass so those short comings don’t bother me, except that weird smell. Makes you just wanna vomit, anyway, if you are bothered with the Series S’s shortcomings and want something more you are better off getting the Series X.

This was a gift fpr my daughter she loved it and it works great

I havent had a xbox since the original one came out, but so far this xbox s is very small and load times and very impressive. This is plenty small enough to be mounted behind a TV on wall as well. Love it so far

I love this little thing. It’s so small and compact but full of power. Only limitation is the space. Get an external SSD to move games back and forth and it will help a lot!

Great Console. Small, portable and best of all High performance. Don't expect XSX or PS5 kid of performance but very close. The only one thing I didn't like was the low capacity of the HDD..

Let me start by saying that this is not nearly as good as the Series X or the PS5. If you are someone who does not have a 120hz 4k tv, this is your system. If your worried about space, ask what games do you play and how many do you constantly play. I play a couple of Series S/X games but put all the Xbox One games on an external drive. So, this works perfectly.

Cheaper, compact, yet effective its the same thing as the X sure the X has some unique performance but both are still able to plsy new gen and both are still powerful!

I really like this console. You get a lot for only $300. Quick Resume is a great feature, although it doesn't always work and some games don't support it. Like previous Xbox consoles, the controllers use double-A batteries which is good in that you can always replace the batteries unlike Playstation controllers. Also, the amount of old Xbox games available on the online store thanks to backwards compatibility is arguably the strongest selling point of Microsoft's platform. My biggest complaint is the lack of internal storage and the fact you have to pay $219 to buy one specific memory card in order to upgrade, whereas PS5 gives you options.

Great console! Wanted to upgrade my Xbox one and there was a major difference. Faster load time is a nice feature along with how compact the console is. The only downside is having a small storage.

Awesome deal for the price! I seriously love it, so happy this version of the Xbox exists. It’s great for the casual gamer or anyone looking to give Xbox a try.

Very easy to set up and doesn’t take up much space, so it is an incredible edition to have on your entertainment center!

The best Xbox option. The value is unmatched and games look good even on a 4k display. With AMD FSR coming to games this will be the BEST purchase for next gen Xbox titles.

Got it only because the series X is harder to find than Atlantis, but I’m very glad we did. It is significantly faster than previous gen and games that are optimized for series s/x look amazing!!!

Like this system. I already have a ton of different video game consoles and have a lot of different kinds of Xbox games on my PC. Just wanted to transfer a few of my games to a system instead of connecting my pc to a 4K tv. Works great if you play a few games. It’s recommended to just get game pass since the systems hard drive can only hold a few new titles. Since the new titles general size are around 100 gb and after the systems operating system takes up about 180 gb of space. You’re only left with about 365 gb of space which means that this system can hold only a few games. Since I’m a casual gamer, that’s the best option

its perfect for a 2nd next gen console, but it can't be your main. It compliments my PS5 well, I enjoy gamepass ultimate on the system and the ability to either dl or stream games

Its much faster. Some of the S/x optimized games are around/greater than 100GB so you might run out of space soon. It also cant play my old games but overall it was a decent upgrade.

This Xbox Series S is digital only. I returned this as my grandsons wanted the Xbox X series so they could use the Xbox one game discs they already have. With the Series S you have to buy your games digitally or pay $14.99 monthly or quarterly for $44.99 to get Xbox game pass which gives you access to all of the Xbox games. It gives you immediate access to any newly published games but at ongoing cost.

I like how slim it is and the price is great. We mostly buy digital games anyways so we didn’t mind not having the disk drive and saving some money.

For the price this is unbeatable. PC that allows running games at similar quality will cost at least 2.5 times more. And take up 2.5 space. Wonderful little console
