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’ve had no issues and it runs the way it should. Would recommend an external drive for serious gamers. I only keep 2 or 3 installed at one time.

    Really great console. Way faster than a last gen console. Better graphics,speed,and capabilities. Took me a few months to find one but finally did on the best buy website. Was worth the hunt. I would definitely suggest not skipping this console.

    Really wanted the series X but was worried the S would sell out during the holidays so I bought this for the moment, no regrets, still will upgrade whenever shortages come to an end but this xbox packs a whole lot of vaule.

    It provides great value as a secondary platform. I'm a primarily PC gamer and I bought the Series S for its backwards compatibility for the games that missed PC and Game Pass (PC game pass is a technical mess not worth bothering with). Pair that with Microsoft rewards points that you can get from using the Xbox and playing Game Pass games and the value is hard to beat if your taste in games lines up with what's on offer.

    This should hold me off till the X is available. Originally didn't want the series s or x as I have a PS5. After getting game pass it is totally worth it and now just waiting till I can buy an Xbox series. I need the disc drive for my older games.

    Great Console, very good purchase and would totally recommend to friends. Works great after a month of use, and was easy to pick up. Terrible storage though, might want to get a hard drive such as a segate to make your storage better :)

    Compact well built unit....SSD memory a little limited at 512GB but you can expand memory further with memory expansion accessories. Happy with purchase overall, just remember there is no DVD loading slot on series S model

    Very fast and super clear picture. Coming from PS4 this device is a must. Battelfield is way more clear and quick and snappy. Halo looks incredible and the load time to install games are fast. Easily can store 5 or 6 games.
