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.

    MICROSOFT LISTEN - Need Disk Trade In Program!!!

    Great machine ... speed, crisp graphics, super sound. My only complaint is with Microsoft. I have a number of disc based XBOX One and 360 games that are compatible with the Series S however I have to rebuy them; there should be a disc trade in program ... I'd even be ok paying a nominal $5 trade in fee

    It's really alot like the xbox one, but with true 4k and HDR. It sucks it doesn't have a disc drive but i don't use it much anway. Im glad it has upgradable storage.

    Absolutely a great console. Got this for my brother as a birthday gift and it’s great. Graphics are really good especially the capability of 120fps.

    Amazing value for what you get, especially if you subscribe to gamepass. For now, seems to run most new games pretty well, but it might be lagging behind in future releases as games get more intensive.

    If you are going all digital this is a great system. Wish it had more built-in storage but in all honesty, it allows you to keep the two to three games you are actually playing installed on it.

    Perfect if you still play in 1080p. It blows my mind a 300$ machine can run triple AAA games like Call of Duty and gears 5 with no problem. Even run gears 5 in 120 FPS mode.

    Purchased as a Christmas gift for my son. I’m more of a PC gamer so I don’t play Xbox too often, but this is a huge upgrade from the Xbox One.

    Pair it up with GamePass and you get a great little gaming console for 1440p monitors. Loading times and responsiveness is amazing.

    Found online and was able to pick up from my local store. Was able to walk in and go directly to the counter and did not have to wait at all for anyone to assist. My order had already been pulled and the gentleman went over all the warranty options and finished up and was out in less than 15 minutes.
