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.

    This is a truly excellent system that is capable of some amazing things. My kids are really enjoying it. The only real annoyance: insufficient onboard storage memory necessitating the purchase of an additional expansion card. That said, once the latter is plugged into the back of this thing, it's really pretty cool.

    I didn't need it, but for some reason i just saw it as necessary. I felt like if i wanted i can hide it behind tv in a setup. I take it with me to work during night shifts at a hotel. I love it.

    Can't call it next gen...

    I'm a PlayStation person, but PS5s are hard to come by so I made the Series S my first Xbox. I really like the size and it reminds me of the PlayStation 2. Thus far, I wouldn't call this a next generation console, but more of an iterative update. Maybe my experience and opinion would be different if the next generation games like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, or the next Gears were available. I'm also disappointed that the controller does not come with a rechargeable battery in the box. All in all the Series S is a decent value for the money. But I'm not sold on it being a next generation console, at least not at this point.

    I wasn't really pleased with the xbox. Had it for maybe 3 months before I sold it. There are not any great relapse out for it. Nothing that the xbox one can't have or do. Loading times are fast. I did put this into developer mode and played all retro games. It was nice , but it just sat.. I played my trusty PS4 Pro can't go wrong with them!

    Very smooth faster loading than Xbox One. More stable on internet. I wish the memory was bigger for my purposes, but this is a great machine and a big step up in processing power and performance!

    After not being able to obtain the Halo Xbox (due to non-notification of times it's being sold) I spoke to an employee and was able to purchase this one. And have no complaints

    Excellent next gen system if you already have a gaming pc or just don't care about 4k gaming. The loads are really fast and the graphics are great!!!Add gamepass and you are good to go.

    Most games will play at 60fps and some play at 120fps but overall it is a very capable console as anybody who is doing 1080p gaming, this console is perfect for. It also has GREAT VALUE

    Amazing value but small internal storage

    This console is able to play all the same games as the Series X, just at a lower framerate and/or resolution. The only thing that I didn't like is the internal storage is only 500GB and only about 350 is usable... for an all digital console, it really needed to have 1TB of storage.
