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.

    Good little gaming console, but if you want the best picture quality and gaming performance go with the series X.

    Xbox series s is a great console and only one you can buy now a days . Its better than the xbox one x ( as per my experience) and adding a external hard drive helps you installing more games . BB sent the package in two days which is ealier than the actual delivery date. 3 stars for the package as the packaging was not good and was open when i received it. There is no padding done to keep the contents intact.

    This new Xbox replaced my son’s old Xbox, but has less memory. We had to buy a $200 expansion card so he could download the same games he already had.

    My Xbox One X feels like it performs better. If youre looking for a digital only console with limited storage space but plan to use Xbox Game Pass then this is it
