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.

    I bought because it’s the easiest console to get at the moment. I do enjoy the setup seeing as how I haven’t owned an Xbox since Xbox 360. I do enjoy it cause it’s small and if I want to take it somewhere I wouldn’t have a problem carrying it around. The only complaint I really have is, after you install the updates you’re only left with like 392gb outta 512. I did end up purchasing the seagate external 1TB though. But nonetheless I enjoy it

    I can’t see a reason anyone would pay for a Series X. For most people this is plenty fast enough. My only complaint is that to expand the memory you must buy a special card that cost $200. Games will not play from simply an external hard drive.

    100% love my new XBox Series S 512 gb All Digital System!! I purchased it on line, and it was ready to pick up in just a couple hours. Super easy to set up. Got the Game Pass and have access to over 100 games. We are having a blast playing it!

    This game console was bought for the wife. She loves playing her Fortnite game on it. The graphics are amazing, 4K is on point and being able the connect to the 5G wireless network gives her constant epic gaming experience.

    It’s amazing this is only $300. Most people’s eyes will not be able to tell the difference between 4K and 1080p when the game is moving, and you won’t notice any perceived lack of detail because you’re just enjoying the game . Get game pass to go with it, it’s amazing .

    Don’t let 512gb fool you! I downloaded 5 games, and have only 75gb left maybe better to go for the larger size if you want more games. Also seems to disconnect from Wi-Fi frequently, causing me to have to re-join my Wi-Fi and re-enter my password. Also some elements are very hard for visually impaired people to see. Be prepared to sit closer to the TV if you are visually impaired.

    Great console to ply warzone or zombies on if you don’t have a 4K tv or monitor. Also best bang for the buck. No disks so don’t worry about that. Make sure to buy extra storage space!

    This is great if you have a 4K TV. I was a little put off buy the $299 price tag as to how much better it would be than my current Xbox one S but, the Series S is amazing with the graphics and load times. It’s definitely been a worthwhile purchase !!!
