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.

    I loved the preorder process and easy pick up options. It was wonderful to get this item before the holidays. They scheduled a pick up time which was very convenient for me.

    Was thinking about getting the X but could never find it in stock. Ended up going with the cheaper option and I am glad that I did.

    This is a great console to get in on next-gen NVMe-tier speeds and loading times without sinking $400+. This makes buying consoles for kids more affordable now.

    Finally, after a Nine month wait. The best game console that I have ever owned. Fastest load times ever seen. Highly recommend to any and all Xbox gamers.

    Great Graphics - Low Memory

    The performance and size of the Series S are the best attributes. The 512g storage is lacking. This console should have a minimum of 1Tb of memory. Next gen games need more memory, but rhis has less than the older Xbox one consoles.

    The ability to play games at 120 frames is amazing! I'm happy with how this system performs and it's size. It is not the Series-X, but this system is perfect for us.

    Nice console I got the ps5 Xbox x and this one. If I had to pick between the 2 I would pick the Xbox x just because of the extra storage on it but overall not bad for $300

    Great product, especially for a slightly older TV! Glad that Microsoft has different options for the TVs that are a bit older in the 4K department!

    I use mine with an ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor which natively streches to fit. Load times with the ssd are way faster than the older xboxes. Got mine around black friday for $240 and it came with a controller too. If you dont play a lot of disc games and arent using it with a 4k tv this is the one to get.

    Didn’t expect this system to be as good as it is. Affordable system, easy to launch into next gen gaming and possibly the most convenient as well.

    As a digital only console, I have to say this is perfect for anyone looking to take advantage of Xbox game pass ultimate. Great for Xbox exclusives and It’s a perfect companion for anyone who has other consoles like Switch or PS5. The size is incredible for its power.

    Excellent little console, the load times are incredible and the size of it would have you not believing its packing as much punch as it is for next gen gaming.
