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 love my little system. I've always been a console behind, PS3 when 4 is out etc. I got this system just before Christmas and I love it. Memory sucks so I paid for the 1TB stick which I recommend.

    Very impressed by this. i have a Series X and PS5. Neither of which you can travel with. This little guy. 1440p is good enough for trips and gaming while on vacation. Very impressed. Paired with Game Pass. Can’t beat it.

    Outstanding Little Console

    Excellent support console! The SSD alone should be enough to convince anybody of purchasing a Series S. Add the “quick resume” feature and it becomes a must-have support console. Absolute best value when paired with a Game Pass subscription.

    My 11 year old son loved his console. Xbox Series S is a very good console for kids but; If you want a console with all the toys and that is something more full gaming then the option would be the Series X.

    Excellent gaming console! I've had very few issues. There were a few times where I had the console on for more than a day and it would overheat and refuse to run a game but after a 30 minute to an hour rest, it would be as good as new!

    Much better console than I thought. Very fast speed, games run great and look great. Gives you the taste of next gen without hurting the wallet. Only knock is the storage capacity. But can be upgraded with memory cards.

    Really enjoy the Series S - great opportunity to get a foot in next Gen without breaking the bank. Playing with friends on the One X really made apparent the impacts of the M2 drive. It’s much smaller than I anticipated which is great!

    What can I say, a relayable little piece of machine, small, fast, 120 fps, looks great and you can play the next gen games with this, even at 1080p, in some cases up to 1440p, the graphics look awesome.

    Really digging this console. Game Pass is a solid value and this console plays current gen games very well. While I prefer my PS5 overall, I get to play with my PC player friends through crossplay so that's awesome.

    I have a 1080p TV and do not plan to upgrade soon. The fast load times are worth the upgrade to the new generation Xbox. I also think that the picture is better (even at 1080p - 60hz)...but that could also be placebo effect.
