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.

    It's an upgrade from my One S. It's faster better refresh rate a lot smoother gameplay. Definitely great upgrade. Just add an external hard drive if you have a lot of games.

    I love this little thing. It’s so small and compact but full of power. Only limitation is the space. Get an external SSD to move games back and forth and it will help a lot!

    Great Console For The Price

    No complaints here, great console for great price. The only downside is the storage is 512 gigs, but luckily I have a external hard so no problem for the time being. The console is very quiet, pretty small your able to take it to your friends house in a backpack, and your able to play your favorite Xbox 360, original Xbox, and Xbox one games.

    Well worth it when you consider faster downloads, great game play quality. And you can transfer games from your Xbox One to the Xbox series S. For how to transfer games research the topic via the internet.

    I havent had a xbox since the original one came out, but so far this xbox s is very small and load times and very impressive. This is plenty small enough to be mounted behind a TV on wall as well. Love it so far

    I love the Series S ! I couldn’t find the series X but this has filled the gap ! My Xbox one x had a bad hdmi port and Microsoft wanted $250 for the repair the S was $ 299 with a controller ! # nobrainer

    Great Console. Small, portable and best of all High performance. Don't expect XSX or PS5 kid of performance but very close. The only one thing I didn't like was the low capacity of the HDD..

    This system is really cool. I bought it because the series x has been unattainable as of late and, i did not want to wait to see the newest graphics of the newest games. I wish there were more titles available for this exclusively. The hard drive space is a little to small forcing you to buy external hard drives. But all in all it is a good purchase.

    If you’re unable to obtain a ps5 or an Xbox series x due to the high demand, coming from an Xbox one and a PS4 pro, you truly get a next gen experience out of this compact but truly powerful console!

    The best Xbox option. The value is unmatched and games look good even on a 4k display. With AMD FSR coming to games this will be the BEST purchase for next gen Xbox titles.
