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.

    This tiny box rocks. Very impressed with this machine. Load times are amazing, runs a lot of games at 60fps. Optimized games are super smooth. Box is silent.

    If you’re coming from an Xbox One it will be night and day. If you’re coming from a One X it will still be an amazing difference. Prep for storage management though. An external drive is great even if games cant be played from it because it’s faster to install from a drive than d/l

    I was surprised to see how small this is compared to previous generation consoles and something like PS5. Yet, it is very poweful and has great graphics.
