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.

    Really enjoy the Series S - great opportunity to get a foot in next Gen without breaking the bank. Playing with friends on the One X really made apparent the impacts of the M2 drive. It’s much smaller than I anticipated which is great!

    What can I say, a relayable little piece of machine, small, fast, 120 fps, looks great and you can play the next gen games with this, even at 1080p, in some cases up to 1440p, the graphics look awesome.

    Much better console than I thought. Very fast speed, games run great and look great. Gives you the taste of next gen without hurting the wallet. Only knock is the storage capacity. But can be upgraded with memory cards.

    Really digging this console. Game Pass is a solid value and this console plays current gen games very well. While I prefer my PS5 overall, I get to play with my PC player friends through crossplay so that's awesome.

    I have a 1080p TV and do not plan to upgrade soon. The fast load times are worth the upgrade to the new generation Xbox. I also think that the picture is better (even at 1080p - 60hz)...but that could also be placebo effect.

    Definite upgrade over a 360

    Bought this to replace a Xbox 360. The Series S is much quieter, loads much quicker, and runs much smoother. The controller has good battery life. The only thing that I don't like is that the triggers feel a bit mushy.

    Finally got series s after a month of looking for either series x or s. Got it delivered with no issues, and its smaller than i thought so it saves space. Great console, i recommend it for the casual gamer.

    For those of us who can’t get ahold of the X the S is a very suitable substitute, especially if you dont have a 4k capable display, does everything the x does minus the disk drive but in this day of digital gaming i find myself less and less worried about a disk drive every single day and as far as storage, expandable memory is so affordable these days its not even an issue. Definitely worth it.
