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.

    Just wait for the series X. In all honestly this is a great value for what it is. If you plan to buy this and pair it with game pass, great, it’s perfect. That said, expect to pay Xbox prices on all games and be subject to only their sales. I personally prefer to have the option to buy disc games for much cheaper. That alone makes the X worth it to me, not to mention the obvious power difference and increased load times etc.

    This is great. I wish the larger model was available. I use it for gaming and as a multimedia device for streaming. With games, they are so much faster and the wait time is practically eliminated for hi graphics games like assassins creed.

    Bought for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. I wasn’t sure since it was the Xbox that you used without disks but it’s much more convenient.

    For the price, extremely hard to beat. Great performance but really the one con is the storage size. Depending on the games you play, this console might only be able to hold 3 games max. Not necessarily Microsoft’s fault that game developers make their file sizes so big though!

    If you're looking for a console for next gen gaming, and you're not willing to spend much for it. This is the console to go for.

    This is a great option to get a new gen console in your home without breaking the bank. I really enjoy this console. It has provided hours of fun online gameplay so far. If you're considering buying this console I say do it cause you can't go wrong with next gen technology at this price.

    Priced this all over at a dozen stores. Compared cost and value of X/S models. By far, Best buy had the best deal. In stock, ready for pick up when I arrived.

    This thing is a great bit of fun along side the ps5 and my gaming pc. I really enjoy using this for gamepass stuff but i might be disappointment if it was my only system. Very similar graphics than the one x, more frames and faster load time but looks similar

    I gave this as a Christmas present and my son absolutely loved it! He owned a Xbox One S before this one and he was really happy about the extra storage, the controller ergonomics and faster start up. Definitely recommend if don’t already have one.

    Not the best performance but it is the cheapest new console. At least you get to play all the latest and newest games.

    Anyone buying this has to also consider the series x. While this offers astounding value for 300 dollars. Versus the series x (200 dollars more), you are giving up over half of the internal storage (external does not work with this generation of games), and the extra power to play most everything in 4k. This console is fairly compact and light, but for the entire generation ahead of us, lacking 4k is going to hurt more and more.
