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.

    I personally don't play video games but my grandsons sure do and the look on his face was priceless when he opened it up on Christmas eve. Price was in the general range across the but they don't offer the warranty and geek squad when you purchase from Best Buy.

    If you are new to the Xbox portfolio or an existing user, the Series S works out very well for an additional console. We have a Series X for the main TV and started adding Series S consoles for secondary TVs. Plenty fast, smaller than the older Xbox one S, and faster by a wide margin,

    The boot up is really fast, the graphics are a little better than the xbox one and the download times are fantastic. I downloaded a 156GB game in 10 minutes and it took my bf 2 hours on his xbox one. Biggest flex over him lol. Buy it at 12am to 3 am for pickup in your area, you have a higher chance of actually getting it while it's in stock without delivery fees; Same with the series x. They restock roughly every Tuesday or Friday that Microsoft ships out from what I have observed.

    Everything seems great so far. The only unfortunate thing is the lack of optimized games at the moment. Fast loading, and great graphics. The system is a lot smaller in size and doesn't take up a bunch of room. So far I'm happy with the price point, and as of now am not missing having access to a disc drive. The only issue I had was trying to set it up through the app. If you don't do it then it takes a bit longer to set up. Also, if you miss the code the only way to get it is by doing a factory reset.

    The device itself performs great and games look amazing on a 4k 60hz TV. The drop of a star is because games for this device are overpriced. The game I wanted, Watch Dog Legions is $59.99 digital versus $17 for the disk (at this moment). Not being able to resale the game and not wasting physical material including shipping cost should reflect in a digital product for games. This really lowers the value of the device as 4 discounted disk games make the difference between this and the Series X.

    Best so far. Somewhat miss having the disc slot due to using for movies (yes we still play dvds sometimes) but the gaming system is great. We own 2 of these

    Quick, powerful, and quiet. Size is larger than the original Wii, but smaller than most consoles ever made. Quick Resume is an amazing feature. Hooked up a 1 terabyte external HDD to play Xbox One games on it. Have already beat 4 different game campaigns since obtaining the S. Can't recommend it enough.

    I bought this xbox about 1 year ago. It has very good price because if you wanna buy an xbox series x you have to pay about $500 for more 500gb space, but I bought a 1Tb hard drive. It was more cheaper for me.

    Love how small the console is but dont let its size deceive you. Theres a whole lot of power packed in this little console. Looks stylish, controller has a nice feel to it, games load quick, just what I was looking for.
