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 speed, less lagging, in such a small box allowing everything to work from Xbox one is amazing. In a great price range.

    It’s a nice upgrade from the Xbox one. Having the Xbox pass doesn’t help to make it feel worth it. If that makes any sense

    This is my first gaming console since PS3 and I seem to like it. I am not an avid gamer - but I like the GamePass and seem to play something once every 1-2 weeks. Upgrading from PS3, I love the disc-free part and the speed is terrific.

    Bought it for my son, awesome system. Can’t imagine the x being that much better. For us this works fine. With game pass it’s top notch.

    The game is awesome. I thought I wouldn’t be a fan because it’s all digital but it’s not bad at all. I just wish it came with more data.

    Good, fast system. However I wasn't prepared for the fact that I couldn't play some of my disc games on this system with a external hard drive. I didn't fully research this enough, its disappointing Microsoft doesn't allow for some form of allowance for purchased disc games.

    Bought it for my brother, he said the console is pretty good. You’re getting next gen spec for just 299. Its pretty small so it fits almost anywhere.
