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.

    Perfect console for anyone. It looks good and runs great. Only downside is the amount of storage but a hard drive is an easy add on

    I would have preferred the Xbox Series X, but I couldn't find one to buy. However, this system is perfect for my needs. Love the speed, the price was right and the system is compact enough to store practically anywhere. I have not had any issues or concerns as of yet

    My mom-in-law purchased this as a gift for our Princess’ 15th birthday. She says it’s fast and easy to use and doesn’t wish to share it with her much younger siblings; yet. A 2nd console is still up for debate.

    If you don't play a tone load of games and you use a lot of streaming services, the Xbox Series S would be a amazing device to use. Pros: Streams 4K, next gen games, portable, light weight Cons: Limited storage

    Fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to upgrade from the XBOX ONE. This is super-fast and performs like no console I have used before. Obviously, the small hard drive is a pain, but it is it what it is. So worth the low cost, in my opinion.

    Worth the cost for both Game Pass and Emulation

    Simply put.. If you want to play games using Game Pass, Digital Purchases and/or want an an amazing Emulation Beast... the Series S is for you. Otherwise, wait for the Series X to be more available if you have physical game discs. Highly Recommended.

    Its a nice good quality new system overall and its real quiet, i got lucky to even find one because nowdays there in demand with the xbox due to shortages and scalpers buying them and selling them for a rip off price, in the long run its worth the $324 for the system.

    Great upgrade from the past gen, smooth transition for those already accumulated into the XB ecosystem. Using the app to set up your Series S is super quick and easy. Along with quick resume. 4K gaming never looked better and this machine is quiet. Certainly beats PS4.

    My husband purchased this for a friend since he has helped us a lot and he loved it! It's not the newest version, but he only needs it for one thing and that is COD so it gets the job done.

    This console is much smaller than the original Xbox One I previously had, which is what my brother liked about it. It's perfect for him since he only buys digital games and doesn't want to swap out discs every time he wants play a different game.
