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.

    Great console, after about two months of playing I don’t regret buying this console instead of the series x, I don’t need to much storage for the games I play so this console was perfect

    I was skeptical coming from a PC. But honestly the performance and convenience is awesome. The quick resume is amazing and storage can be expanded with an external drive.

    Had it for over almost 2 years before i decided to sell it. The storage is definitely lackluster but you can buy their ssd for more space if you need it.

    Im surprised how this little console manages to deliver a decent and sometimes almost perfect game play experience in his price range. It's my first time buying a Xbox console and I have to give the credit to Microsoft that they did it right with this little beast. If you are coming from a regular ps4 like me, you gonna feel the difference immediately.

    The greatest purchase from best buy yet. I love how the only real sacrifice made is the resolution. Great value and looks amazing on my 4k tv even if its a lower resolution.

    Very tough to get but well worth it! Both the series S and series X are leaps and bounds better than the last generation of consoles. The new graphics and frame rate alone is a huge improvement!

    The unit is small and very powerful. Unfortunately I can't play disk games but I guess I can download the equivalent from store. The unit is really quite compared to my old 360. happy with purchase

    For what you pay, this console is an awesome deal. My favorite thing about it has to be its physical specs. So small and incredibly silent & cool. Hooked it up to my 65” Vizio OLED and it’s amazing.

    Awesome console for someone who is on a budget and doesn’t have an hdmi 2.0 tv. If you don’t have a hdmi 2.0 tv, then there’s no real reason to get a series X
