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.

    Purchased for my 16 year old. He loves the compact size he can easily pack it for road trips or even use it in the SUV's entertainment package and its not taking up much space in the vehicle! We actuall purched the external hard drive recommended and its very small too! Its a win/win for me. One thing he wishes is that the controller had usb charging capability, right now he is using regular batteries or the lithium rechargeables.

    Absolutely love this tiny machine! Pros: Small Very accessible Quiet as a mouse Cheap compared to other next gen consoles Supports 120 fps Cons: Does not support 4k Small storage No Disc Drive I wanted a way to experience gamepass since I missed the X1 gen and gotta say, this was seriously a great way to get introduced! It may not be as powerful as the Series X/PS5 but it’s a great way to get started on gamepass!
