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 bought because the series x is hard to find definely a improvement in speed compared to the xbox one has better visuals to but the storage could be better for games.

    Got it only because the series X is harder to find than Atlantis, but I’m very glad we did. It is significantly faster than previous gen and games that are optimized for series s/x look amazing!!!

    I'm always going for the best Xbox and since the Series X is currently unattainable, I decided to get this in the meantime. I'm coming from the Project Scorpio so the resolution drop is noticeable for me, but this thing plays games way better with the higher frames. 1 star loss because of the on board 512gb memory, it's 2021 and games are huge.

    Compact and powerful. I didn't own any xbox games on disc as I was upgrading from a PS4 so having a drive wasn't necessary. I bought a 2TB external HD to expand storage space and it's now it's perfect.

    It came in a box with lots of padding so it won’t move around. This is my first console and it’s awesome. It has pretty good graphics and it doesn’t glitch a lot. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
