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.

    Only system available during the dark times. Great price and paired with online games streaming it's amazing.

    Get the "S" if you are on a budget

    The console is a great way to step into the next gen scene with upscaled resolution. Yes "upscaled" because it isn't as crisp and clear as the series "X" but you can't tell unless you hold up a magnifying glass against the pixel screen. CONS: 1) The console heats up laying down and standing, 2) The console randomly freezes or shuts off possibly due to heat 3) Not enough storage space for games 4) Doesn't support good quality stream apps 5) Attaching a camera to the console causes stutter 6) cameras appear low quality and lag quite severely PROS: 1) games are being upgraded to "X"S" 2) games are upscaled 3) you get to enjoy xbox pass which has better games than sony 4) xbox has the best controller on the market

    Love this console. So annoyed with not being able to get a “next gen” console without overpaying, I tried the Series S. So far, I love it, buying the Game Pass is a must. My only complaint would be the lack of storage.

    Great system but if you can spend the extra for the X! The processing power is good but on the X it is noticeable!

    System loads up fast can go back and forth between games in an instance.. Got it for me son he clearly notices the visual and gameplay difference.. Should come with 2 controllers and more storage for all the money you spend on the system..

    Amazing value. Using the fsp boost to get 60 fps with my current tv. Load times are amazing even on a standard external drive. I wish the external SSD was more affordable but this works for now. Game pass is an excellent value.

    Honestly I was gonna get a ps5 but couldn't find it at retail. So i settled and I'm surprised on what i was missing out. Maybe if i would've bought a 360 back in the day i would've been an Xbox guy.

    Tinier than the Xbox One which is nice.. Super quiet and super fast. If I were upgrading from the Xbox One the only difference would be the noise the console makes to be honest.. Unless you're buying the Series X then just save your money.

    Great next generation device at a small price. My only gripe about it is that the drive is small, if you want you have to spend like 220 for a ssd, yeah you can buy a hdd but let’s be honest at some point those will be obsolete.

    Storage size is a downfall, but if you can accept the slower load times it's not bad. I used my 3TB external and I don't see any issues at all good bridge between the One X and Series X (if you have digital games)
