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.

    Love this little Xbox. I’m a PS5 player first and foremost, so I knew the Xbox would take a back seat, but excellent for what I use it for. Lack of disk drive can be frustrating, but super fast and great if you use it for things like Netflix and all in addition to games.

    I bought the Xbox series s for both my son & daughter for Christmas last year (2021) my son love his Xbox my daughter doesn’t. I don’t like it neither I want to get the series x because all the games with the console is online. It says that the device has 512 gb but that’s a lie because my son doesn’t have a lot of games & already his storage is full. I wouldn’t really recommend but to each it’s own.

    Love this Xbox. I went with the S because I couldn’t get my hands on an X, but honestly it’s more than enough for me. I upgraded from an original Xbox one, so the leap is enormous. The speed that this Xbox runs in comparison to the Xbox one is night and day.

    Great Console with fast speeds, the one downside this that you can only download literally 3 games and run out of storage so be prepared to buy an extension hard drive and they can run up to $220 for the lates model of Xbox extension card. Xbox can run up to 120GHZ and Run 4K

    This is the best $300 I've spent in a long time. I bought this as a gift and they love it. The Series S isn't in quite as high demand as the other consoles so there was no panic when i hit the link. The person i got it for loves it. So that makes it worth every penny.

    Always have been a playstation guy, but the game pass is amazing. I never have to buy a game just buy ultimate game pass when on sale. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to be much better then the previous xbox. I might not realize the difference if I wasn't paying attention.

    This is very small and it weighs around 5 pounds and its very quiet and downloading games on the internal storage is very fast. This is recommended for those who have game passes and wants to play it there besides PC cause Outriders is coming to game pass day one for consoles only.

    Love this console. It’s perfect for the living room, where I have a Series X in my media room. I’m able to play this one with my wife and with guests we have over on the comfort of our couch and it honestly performs just as well as the Series X does.

    Purchased this after I was one of the lucky ones who was able to get the series X at launch, tried getting one for my brother, but this one was the only one available and I was lucky enough at the time to get it for him. He likes it, it's fast for being it's amazingly small size.
