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.

    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.

    Outstanding! Best money worth spend! I highly recommend if you cannot get your hands on the high value consoles for the mean time. And recommend those who dont care about physical copy.

    I bought this for my son. Knew it was hard to find but kept checking everyday. Saw one was available one afternoon and bought it online to pick up in store. Such a smooth process and my son loves 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.

    This is a great video gaming and entertainment system. The Microsoft Xbox game pass is a must. There are a variety of games offered thought the game pass subscription service.

    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

    Shipping was insanely fast. Works as it should and next generation graphics look great. Wish the storage was larger 512 fills up insanely fast with modern games on a digital only console.
