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.

    Excellent, Superfast load speeds, 120 fps on select games, next-generation experience at an affordable price! It is quiet it fits in smaller spaces and was super easy to set up if you have an existing Microsoft account.

    This review is only after the reveal of the new black xbox series s, which will have a better storage capacity (1TB compared to ~300GB) than the original. It is still a good buy if youre not planning on playing a lot of games, but if you are save for the black S.

    I bought my series s for a early christmas gift. I have to say the exclusives on xbox are fire. On top of that yku can get Xbox Game Pass that unlocks over 400+ games all for free! Definetly worth the 300!

    Had it for about a month and I have to say it’s been a great machine. I’ve owned many Xbox’s and this one by far in regards to functionality, performance, and quality is the best one I have owned.

    Xbox Series X is worth buying over this. The FrameRates and speed just isn’t as consistent.

    Honestly mostly got it to play some 360 games I miss, but got game pass and has some good games. Graphics are nice too. The only downside is storage and how expensive the upgrade is.

    Bought this because I at on PS primarily and intend on getting the ps5. But with upcoming titles on xbox I knew I'd want to get a next gen xbox. The series s will work perfectly as I also am only running a 1080p display atm. Runs fast, little bit if resolution drop on some titles but solid for it's price. I recommend if you want to save money on next gen and/or if you plan on primarily gaming on another system.

    Great console! I still prefer a disc drive, but for the money it's well worth it. The size, or lack of, is the most amazing aspect of this console. The series S has an amazing amount of power for such a compact design.

    Very impressed by this. i have a Series X and PS5. Neither of which you can travel with. This little guy. 1440p is good enough for trips and gaming while on vacation. Very impressed. Paired with Game Pass. Can’t beat it.

    Outstanding Little Console

    Excellent support console! The SSD alone should be enough to convince anybody of purchasing a Series S. Add the “quick resume” feature and it becomes a must-have support console. Absolute best value when paired with a Game Pass subscription.

    I love my little system. I've always been a console behind, PS3 when 4 is out etc. I got this system just before Christmas and I love it. Memory sucks so I paid for the 1TB stick which I recommend.

    Excellent gaming console! I've had very few issues. There were a few times where I had the console on for more than a day and it would overheat and refuse to run a game but after a 30 minute to an hour rest, it would be as good as new!

    My 11 year old son loved his console. Xbox Series S is a very good console for kids but; If you want a console with all the toys and that is something more full gaming then the option would be the Series X.
