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.

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

    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.

    If you don’t care about having a disc drive, buy it. It’s fast and can hold its own with graphics
