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.

    This is a streaming Xbox. Streaming is the future. As long as you have high speed internet you are good to go.

    Had i had exp. With playing new gen consoles prior to release day. I would have only got this (i also own a Series X console) because had i known going forward when you put in a game disk you will never press "PLAY" , you will first be "Installing" it, for how ever long that may take, then you can play it. Wether i get them digitally or a physical disk they gotta be downloaded(also the disc downloads are way slower than digitally, by Hours!)

    Got a trade in offer for my Xbox box one which was nice. Well worth the upgrade honestly . Whole new gaming experience frfr. Graphic and all. Just really either get the bigger Xbox or invest in a external terabyte. Other than that solid system nicely priced.

    Great console to hold me over until I get Series X

    Couldn't find an XBOX: Series X due to its shortages. So for now, I decided to get the Series S to hold me over until Series X stock increases and more readily-available to get. On a different note, the design of this smaller form-factor console looks better than the simpler "all-black" box of the Series X...not a deal breaker but looks better when you have it sitting next to a PS5 for color consistency: white and black.

    Despite the fact that it's weaker than the Series X, I love this machine. It's got a nice punch for a mere $300. Also, if you don't have a newer 4k TV, than the Series X may be more than you need anyway. This would be a great economical gaming choice for kids, 1080p and lower-end 4k TVs, casual gamers, new gamers, and for those just wanting a machine for Game Pass. It runs silent and cool. It will play next gen games, even if a lower level.
