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.

    Great system, graphics are top notch, super fast loading of games as well. Size of the console it's self is cool too, small enough to put anywhere. If you are ok with not have a physical disk drive, this console is perfect for you.

    I wanted the newer model, but couldn't find it anywhere. Found this one & snatched it up before anyone else did. I'm an occasional gamer who uses Xbox to relax, unwind & work out any issues that might arise in my life.

    This console is a fantastic entryway to Game pass and quality HD gaming. It doesn't have as much storage space as the Series X but it's very easy to transfer games from an external storage device if you want to make use of the fast SSD.

    My next purchase after a switch gave me the gaming bug again. Last xbox i owned was a 360 and this is quite the upgrade. I know M$ was aoming for a price point but the only 512GB (like 384 usable) is not enough for an all digital device. That being said, unless u have a newer 4k 120hz tv, this is plenty of console and likely easier to get than the series x.

    Great gaming console with an even greater price. For $300 you get a lot of gaming power and the Xbox still comes with the best controller ever made. Pair it up with an hard drive expansion and you are good to go!

    Does everything the series x can do save the storage and native 4K. Neither a big deal for me as it upscales. Up to 120 fps when supported. I’ve been buying digital forever so that’s no issue either. Love it!

    This is great, it plays new games and it is very quiet and size is easy to fit on your shelf. Only down side is internal storage capacity. Should be 1TB as this is today what is standard storage size.

    I finally was able to get the new xbox series and it is way better than the Xbox one. The speed is faster. I am kind of disappointed that the price for the online games are higher than the actual disk. I would recommend this system

    Love this console! Combined with gamepass, ive been able to play a lot of games on here that i was surprised theyd even have on the next gen consoles! Batteries that came with the xbox lasted me maybe a month or so, however.

    I love the Series S. It's small, easy to travel with and a perfect Game Pass gaming console. You can't get used games or trade disks with friends anymore which sucks but its only 300 bucks. Perfect for a second T.V. or a kids room.

    With all the recent sales of the XSS this is the best value in gaming. The small design and amount of game pass games makes this the go to console for Xbox.

    Super quiet, you could forget its on. Love the fact that if you have an Xbox one you can setup the series s with an app. Instructions in the box. Super small footprint. The load times are in the single digits for almost every game.
