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.

    Excellent console that I’ve had now for a year and it has not let me down at all. Furthermore, this console is entry level with low space and a cheap price. Also, with three HDMI plugins it’s very useful and has an amazing performance.

    The Xbox Series X, was never available, so purchased the Series S instead. This is quite an upgrade from my old Playstation and Wii consoles. Everything needs to be digital these days. The convenience of purchasing games online is awesome. Processing speed seems to be just fine as I never see frame rate drops on any games. The only down side to this all-digital system, is the limitation of the HD. 512 GB is too small, and I can only have about 5 or 6 games on the console at a time. Sure, expansion HDs area available, but you obviously have to spend more $$. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 based on the HD size. Totally be 5 stars if it had a 1TB drive. Other then that, amazing gaming console and totally recommend.

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to share my thoughts on the Xbox Series S. I recently got mine and I have to say, it arrived in great condition! The price was also really good, which made it even more exciting. The only downside I found was the storage. It's a bit limited, so you might need to manage it wisely. But overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and can't wait to dive into some awesome gaming sessions!

    Highly recommend it if you are new to gaming, only game every once in a while, a kid, or a teen! I have an external hard drive (HHD) hooked to it for extra storage:) Really simple to use. Can't go wrong if you don't like to get up to change out games. It's ALL digital. XBOX has deals on games all the time, so it's easy to go into the game shop and see if something cheap catches your eye or that certain game you've been wanting finally goes on sale! The controller batteries do not last long. I would recommend a battery pack or a docking charger! Mine only lasted less than a month.

    Purchased this for my brother who is a semi-Xbox gamer, and it was such a good deal that my best friend and other brother went and bought their own after. A great deal for a gamer who wants the option of modern titles without the bulk and price of a Series X.
