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.

    Value for money, ONLY FOR RETAIL PRICE OF 299 plus tax. Incredible console for what you are paying. It does feel next gen, but I miss the disk drive. I recommend buying a memory card too. It’s easier to get compared to the series X

    364GB after XBOX OS on here. It's super screaming fast for the price though. Played F1 2020 and it's terrific.

    Looks nice and I like the slime size. Graphics are beautiful and I like the layout of the home screen. I do wish it had an area for hard copy games, but I guess that what the Series X is for. Too bad those are always out of stock.
