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 Console for those who just want to dip their toes into the Next Gen without going all in, plus the Backwards Compatibility is still amazing. And if you get RetroArch on this thing, then the floodgates open up wide.

    My og xbox one was slowing down so I picked this system up. Mostly because series X wasnt available. I do enjoy this S though because its much faster than my og.. Only downside I notice is of course the storage space. Both my external hds work seemlessly.

    Xbox Series S performs exactly how it should for $300. Games play just as good as my Series X and will be very good for entry level gamers.

    This was a great buy - I'd been transitioning to all digital gaming and this makes it that much easier. The SSD storage upgrade is a must.

    This is a great way to get into the next generation of gaming. The system is great if you have another next gen system or letting the kids play. The amount of space is limited but it makes up for it with its performance. If you are a hard core gamer then this is not the system for you.

    Great system and shocking small compared to last generation. Very light weight and easy to fit in most entertainment centers or if you are tight on space.
