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.

    Glad I purchased this very small and love the no disc feature as it reduces clutter. The only downfall is the storage space but as long as your good with deleting and adding then it’s worth it.

    If you're not playing on a 4K TV and plan on using Game Pass anyway, there's no reason not to invest in a Series S as it serves wonderfully as a second household console if you plan on getting an X later.

    Couldn't ask for a better system if you on a tight budget like myself. Definitely would've buy storage to add a ton a games. I currently have 3 main games I play buy the storage is almost full.

    If you can get your hands on one, i highly recommend this 300 dollar beast. Especially with games pass, you will never need to buy a game for a long time. Its diverse library will keep you occupied for months at least.

    Need a cheaper Xbox? This is pretty much it. My cousin loves this and he just uses it to play Minecraft here and there. I'm sure he enjoys it since he won't stop talking about it. It's cheaper than the normal Xbox too!

    Dad became a hero for my son when we found this treasure. We've been using it for more than just gaming, too by binging some cool movies. Love the alert tool that Best Buy had to let us know when this became available.

    I purchased it to only be able to play "Sea of Thieves". The cheapest option to run latest (-ish) games. I did play on Series X before, and honestly, from 10ft away I can't see much of a difference on a 55" 4k TV.

    This thing is faster than I would have thought. Loads into Warzone just as fast as my PC with a 3090 FE. Very impressive! These new consoles run a lil warm though, so make sure you have good airflow.

    Issue with Forza Horizon 4?

    Overall great system. Graphics are crisp and clear, no studders that I've noticed. Only issue I've come across is with Forza Horizon 4. It's happened twice out of the 3 times I've played it since getting the series s. It will freeze for a second, then shut the xbox off. I assume it's something with the game and not the xbox. Overall I'm pleased with it.

    Major upgrade from the previous generation. Seamless gaming and great graphics. You can run out of disc space quickly but I knew that going in. I recommend pairing this with the expanded storage (when it goes on sale)
