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 game system! Only complaint would be the amount of space to store games but that’s nothing an external hard drive can’t fix!

    Xbox series S came in relatively quick on the first round of pre-orders. I can only review based off of Best Buy’s service because I sold it the moment I received it! 5/5 would do it again!

    This machine is amazing! This is basically an Xbox one X with an SSD. If you are planning on playing a lot of indie games or less intensive games, then this is all you need.

    The response rate it’s great but the X beats it by a mile, quite annoying that has a very little GBs space and also since can’t have disks.

    From the xbox one to the series s, it's a major upgrade. Games load faster, and almost no lag online makes this worth the money all day long.

    Great power in a small package, I had no lags or problems when running next-gen games. Even though the hardware isn’t powerful, it’s still packing a punch.

    Great console! Does everything you need for a next-gen console. It is difficult to find the series x but I am 100% happy to save $200 and still enjoy the console.
