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 have had one of each of the previous Xbox's. They get better every time. Could use a bit more storage space but that's my only complaint.

    Powerful little compact console, perfect for anyone still running a 60hz tv! The white also gives it a very clean look. Definitely recommend for only $299.
