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.

    its perfect for a 2nd next gen console, but it can't be your main. It compliments my PS5 well, I enjoy gamepass ultimate on the system and the ability to either dl or stream games

    I like the new Xbox series s. Definitely an upgrade graphics/speed wise from the Xbox one s. Only negative is the storage. I bought a 1TB memory card at $219 to make sure I had enough to fit all of my games on. Total for everything $520… could’ve just gotten the series x for that price. (Good luck finding them)

    For the price this is unbeatable. PC that allows running games at similar quality will cost at least 2.5 times more. And take up 2.5 space. Wonderful little console

    Went ahead and got this to replace my old box. It’s very small and sleek. Boots up quick and the fact it’s “next gen” you get the upgraded games. Very impressed good power for price

    Great for people that play 1 or 2 games not a whole lot of space for the sizes of games that are being made, but nothing a portable hard drive wont fix.

    Its much faster. Some of the S/x optimized games are around/greater than 100GB so you might run out of space soon. It also cant play my old games but overall it was a decent upgrade.

    With fast internet connection, this is uncompetitive gaming machine. I really love it. Its ssd blazingly fast. I am more likely on fos side for gaming not resolution. 2k is enough with monitors.

    Got it only because the series X is harder to find than Atlantis, but I’m very glad we did. It is significantly faster than previous gen and games that are optimized for series s/x look amazing!!!

    I'm always going for the best Xbox and since the Series X is currently unattainable, I decided to get this in the meantime. I'm coming from the Project Scorpio so the resolution drop is noticeable for me, but this thing plays games way better with the higher frames. 1 star loss because of the on board 512gb memory, it's 2021 and games are huge.
