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.

    Fun for the family and kids. It does works well, there are some issues with storage but they only play a few games

    Tinier than the Xbox One which is nice.. Super quiet and super fast. If I were upgrading from the Xbox One the only difference would be the noise the console makes to be honest.. Unless you're buying the Series X then just save your money.

    Xbox is not bad if you have it hardwired to ethernet cable otherwise using Wi-Fi it is terrible even on 5G Wi-Fi with the ethernet cable connected the speed of the connections 179 mega bites per second

    Great next generation device at a small price. My only gripe about it is that the drive is small, if you want you have to spend like 220 for a ssd, yeah you can buy a hdd but let’s be honest at some point those will be obsolete.

    Honestly I was gonna get a ps5 but couldn't find it at retail. So i settled and I'm surprised on what i was missing out. Maybe if i would've bought a 360 back in the day i would've been an Xbox guy.

    Great system but if you can spend the extra for the X! The processing power is good but on the X it is noticeable!

    Extremely fast console with crisp graphics. Can't wait to get the Series S when more are available and move this one to the man cave cuz the Series S goes to the Master Bedroom to watch HI DEF BLU RAY. TELL THEM PRONTO CREDIT sent you!

    Storage size is a downfall, but if you can accept the slower load times it's not bad. I used my 3TB external and I don't see any issues at all good bridge between the One X and Series X (if you have digital games)

    I bought this Xbox for my little brother. He had been wanting one for a really long time and was watching for it to be available. Once it was, we ordered it for in-store pickup and it was ready a few days early.
