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 for digital only downloads. Incredible value if used for Game Pass. I mainly use this for game pass. Solid build quality small and portable as well.

    My 11 year old loves it - plays Madden on it constantly. Was very different to my old gaming systems but the kids love it.

    Bought this and game pass and love it! Specs are a bit lower than the series X but I don't notice any significant performance issues, great system especially for the money!

    Awesome console at a fairly affordable price point. Perfect if you dont plan on getting a fancy new 4k tv and game on a 1080p television or 1080/1440p monitor

    I mainly game on PC, so I didn't need the Series X. At $300, plus gamepass, it's great for when I just want to sit back and relax instead of lean in and sweat.

    This product is amazing and has no flaws. I have been using this for about 1 month now and I feel like it is amazing! Just wished it came with more batteries for the controller.

    Best console purchase I've ever made. This little box does everything and more, and at a fraction of the cost. Plus, Best Buy is awesome and got it to me early. 10/10 would buy again

    Just an example overall awesome value. Paying so little to be able to play the modern games at mostly 60 FPS is a crazy great deal. The only downside is that the storage runs out very fast with how big games are becoming.

    Purchased this to play MS Flight Simulator, Compared to PlayStation I’m not very impressed. The controller quit working after only 2 weeks. Had to call Xbox support to get a new one under warranty. PS controllers are strictly rechargeable which I much prefer. Also the Xbox network has already had outages in the month since purchase. That only happened once every couple years on PS.
