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.

    Awesome Xbox for budget and/or PlayStation fans! I own a PS5 but I decided to buy this to play the game pass games and it works wonderful for that! Also super slim and small so it fits everywhere. 10/10

    Bought this fella to hold me over until I could get a retail priced Series X and let a scalper starve. Honestly don’t know that I’ll even bother now, the Series S is underrated af.

    Great product for a great price! I upgraded from my Xbox One X after about two years and the 120 frames are awesome. I've so far had no issues with the hardware or software.

    Rating speaks for itself. No reason they couldnt have built it at 1T memory but is still worth the buy for the price

    Good companion for someone who has a PS5 or Switch. Not good as a primary console. Storage waaay too low. Only about 367 usable storage. Thats nothing, and the only way to expand it is by a seagate expansion card that offers 1TB for $200. After tax that with the console combined is more than the series X. Best used as a second console.

    I’ve had this brand new Xbox for about 12 years and it’s holding up well. I’ve replaced the spindle and the transaxle twice. Would recommend aftermarket swashplates.

    its perfect for a 2nd next gen console, but it can't be your main. It compliments my PS5 well, I enjoy gamepass ultimate on the system and the ability to either dl or stream games

    I like the new Xbox series s. Definitely an upgrade graphics/speed wise from the Xbox one s. Only negative is the storage. I bought a 1TB memory card at $219 to make sure I had enough to fit all of my games on. Total for everything $520… could’ve just gotten the series x for that price. (Good luck finding them)

    Went ahead and got this to replace my old box. It’s very small and sleek. Boots up quick and the fact it’s “next gen” you get the upgraded games. Very impressed good power for price

    For the price this is unbeatable. PC that allows running games at similar quality will cost at least 2.5 times more. And take up 2.5 space. Wonderful little console

    Its much faster. Some of the S/x optimized games are around/greater than 100GB so you might run out of space soon. It also cant play my old games but overall it was a decent upgrade.

    Great for people that play 1 or 2 games not a whole lot of space for the sizes of games that are being made, but nothing a portable hard drive wont fix.

    With fast internet connection, this is uncompetitive gaming machine. I really love it. Its ssd blazingly fast. I am more likely on fos side for gaming not resolution. 2k is enough with monitors.
