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.

    Not sure why MS brought this machine to market. Who is it exactly made for? Resellers, emulation junkies, hardcore gamers or casual gamers? Basically this is old gen with limited storage. The machine is slick and compact though. The controller isn’t bad, although it takes batteries. You can by a rechargeable battery pack, which I will invest in. Some of the old games for this are very expensive. I can buy the disc games cheaper. You can find some great deals though. I picked up Batman AA and Batman AC bundle for under 5 bucks. One game took up about 9% storage. I guess if you’re into older games you might like this. So this won’t be for everyone, and I wouldn’t pay reseller high prices. If you can wait I would pick up the Xbox series X. I can’t see long term value in this machine. Also Best Buy didn’t pack in shipping box. They just wrapped it in plastic. The box arrived in bad shape. Luckily MS designed a great box, the machine was cradled safely. I would pick up in store if you can.

    Easy to set up although I did have some glitches to work through. Couldn't sign up for the game pass ultimate so I will need to contact microsoft. Wanted to get the X but none were in stock. Also need to figure out how to make additional avatars. Much easier on the old xbox 360.

    We wanted to buy the X series we tried so hard and this one was available so we grabbed it. This is powerful looks great and plays amazing, After playing on my Xbox Series S for few month now we can say we are happy with this little beast console. The fast load times are amazing on current Xbox games and the increase frame rates are also very much welcomed. Then comes the downside to the Series S the internal hard drive only 346 GB is just way too small to build a library of games. You will constantly be deleting/reinstalling and good luck with updates. Overall a really good console for the price.

    Pleasantly suprised. Ordered during pre order, eventually scored a ps5 before Christmas. Play this console more than ps5. Only 364 gb usable space, but is fine.
