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.

    Like anyone else i couldnt wait to set it up. It took all of ten minutes, not kidding. Downloaded one previously purchased game in roughly an hour And it was ready! Processing speed is Mind blowing. It is also a fraction of the size of the older models. Thumbs up on a super clean design.

    Love the digital Xbox series xs. Not a fan of gaming discs that eventually where down and get scratched. The graphics are amazing, controllers fit my hands nicely and the size of the Xbox series xs is smaller and that’s a huge plus for me . Microsoft keep up the great work .

    very good just needs more internal storage, it’s sleek and it fits in a lot of good places and the graphics are very very good i would recommend this one over the more expensive one but the controller that came with it got a drifting stick very quickly. also it’s very customizable as u can see in the photo

    Great console, beat my favorite game ever on it Elden Ring. Would definitely recommend buying it if you’re into consoles and don’t want to drop the big bucks on the better version. The storage capacity kind of sucks, but other than that it’s great.

    Its a xbox i love it , but be aware if you want more then 3-4 games you have to get Seagate. 1tb expansion for $212. Probably be better to get the series X i mean its actually cheaper at $499 then the $299 & $212= $511 for the series s & seagate.

    As a PlayStation fan boy and I don’t own any gaming pc , I think it’s worth it because of the Xbox game pass and other Xbox exclusive games I miss out on over the years. This is the first Xbox I have ever bought and I’m happy with my purchase.
