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.

    Great system for those of you who do not care about 4k or have a 4k display. Bought this for my kids who game on a 1080p tv and its amazing for that purpose.

    At the heart of Series X is the Xbox Velocity Architecture, which pairs a custom SSD with integrated software for faster, streamlined gameplay with significantly reduced load times. Seamlessly move between multiple games in a flash with Quick Resume.

    A great compact system that runs games beautifully at a competitive price. Only downside is the low storage space since modern games take up a lot of room.

    I can understand some ppl wanting the X, but it never crossed my mind and I’ve loved every second with the S. Impressed so far but that said I haven’t been stressing it out or anything, only casually playing as I’ll continue to do lol.

    Decided to upgrade to a new Xbox after having the OG One for five years. Had hoped to pick up a Series X, but figured a digital only box would work. Speed is fast and graphics look good. Enjoying the next gen features.

    The better option of the two versions of the new Xbox. Not to big that you need to rearrange your furniture or buy new furniture to accommodate it. Save yourself the added cost and pick up the small one and get an ssd to our with it for the cost of the series x

    I bought this for my brother’s birthday because he’s been wanting a new Xbox. He absolutely loves it. However, Best Buy using OnTrac to deliver the Xbox was so stressful. Overall Xbox has never let me down. But Best Buy using OnTrac has let me down before.
