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.

    It’s much faster than the last console. I believe it has helped improve my gaming for fps. Only down side is it seems hot and there is no dish so straight digital. But for the price it’s much better than last generation

    Its another video game console.. need to buy additional storage, not a fan of the power supply. It was taking 10 hrs to install a game, which is whatever, ill just play a game on the cloud.. right? Nah, the install stops when i played a game on the cloud.. i for some reason could only turn it on from my iphone, which kind of didnt make sense to me…. The library could be alittle more informative about what you are buying… i returned it 16 hrs after purchase, maybe got 1 hr play time because of installs, cloud gaming, set up, sleeping, not being able to turn it on without my phone…

    Had to help my friend buy this because he did not have the patience or time to even attempt it. None the less the xbox is a great value for a next gen console for only 300 dollars. Still playing next gen games like a decent pc would.
