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.

    Had the series s for almost a month and have been noticing some hardware issues (system turning itself off during gameplay or the display from the system to the tv momentarily going out). Will definitely need to contact Microsoft. Other than that the system is great and the disc free set up is definitely a great space saver. Would suggest getting an external hard drive for additional memory though.

    A huge upgrade from the older mode Xbox One! Way faster and smaller! Which is a huge plus when putting it on the shelf!
