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.

    Great graphics & load times but...

    The graphics & load times are improved but the 512GB fills up fast. The system requires 140GB which leave around 372GB for games... not much. You can only storage games on an external HD, not play directly from the external HD. If you want to store more games on your console, you need a Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S 1TB Solid State Drive ($220.00)

    Great little console. Even when playing on 4k/60hz TV, it looks great while sitting on the couch. I play few hours every week and so far it is excellent. It is wiser quite. Only negative is small storage.

    We absolutely love playing on the new Series S. With game pass, switching between games is instant. The system is small enough that it can fit anywhere. Highly recommended!

    Overall love it ! Unboxed it a few days back and i’m fairly impressed. Runs fast and has some great new features. Don’t pay attention to the size of the console so much ur not using the outside anyways.

    My teenage son has loved this since I bought it. I combined it with a good monitor and he's been very happy with the combination. Good upgrade from the Xbox One.

    Great Value for Next Gen

    XBOX game pass makes this a great value. Graphics are pretty much comparable to my PS4 Pro. So it is not a leap in performance, but it does give you a future lifespan and features for next gen systems like BF 2042.

    With all the recent sales of the XSS this is the best value in gaming. The small design and amount of game pass games makes this the go to console for Xbox.

    I'm glad I bought this. I thought about getting the version with the disk player, but I mostly game online anyway, so I figured it wouldn't be worth the extra money.
