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'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.

    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.

    I just wanted the cheaper Xbox for my bedroom. I was really surprised at the picture quality. I have a 65” Sony and the picture is so sharp. I love it!

    This was a gift. I have one myself also. So since I haven’t heard Andy complaints from the recipient and I enjoy playing my series S then it gets a good review. I use it as my “Travel Gaming” console.

    It is amazing I love the Xbox series S no complaints and if your waiting for the Series X just get the S it prob is to much for your monitor or tv to handle anyways most tvs don’t run 120fps

    What can I say besides WOW! This console is awesome for someone starting out on Xbox. The graphics are great, game pass is a very good service. Only downside is the amount of space in the console. Definitely a must buy

    One of the best price to performance consoles that has ever been released. Seriously you can do so much with this thing and it is so much quicker than an X1X for the same price.

    The differences in graphics to series X is not worth the $200 extra. It upscales 1440p to 4k, full 120 frames and more. You cant find a gaming oc for $299 that supports these specs and has raytracing.
