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.

    Slim line durable Xbox S series system. Ease of travel and can increase memory with use of Flashdrive. Took some adjustment as to a no disk system but seemless in game transfer. on account.

    I have enjoyed playing Xbox again. I love not having to keep up with the disks since I move a lot. The disks were extra weight and kept getting "misplaced" during packing and moving. This new system is so much better. I can play any game my family, friends, and I choose at any time. I love it.

    Normally i play Playstation, but i figured, well this one is the cheapest. They are all very similar, so why not. The graphics are amazing. Only bad thing is the low hard drive. If it is a digital console, then it should have a bigger hard drive than just 500 gig.

    For those who desire to stick with Microsoft products, this is a steal. A next generation console at this price was impossible to ignore. It’s very compact for a console. Can pump out 1440p at 60fps but probably won’t run 1440p at 120fps. Perfect for those who don’t need 1TB of space or can support 4K.

    Worthy upgrade from last gen

    For context, I’ve been a Sony fanboy since childhood. I had the base PS4 before this became my first next gen upgrade. I LOVE the small size, graphics are a major upgrade, and load times (or lack there of) is worth the money. This hold me over until I get a PS5, but could certainly be your primary console. Game Pass is unbelievable.

    Love it! Could’ve waited for a Series X and paid more but the Series S does everything I want and need it to. And with the option to add an external hard drive, it’s a less expensive option. I wasn’t looking for 4K gaming, just wanted to play online with family and my kids. Fits the bill perfectly!

    Excellent, though not the best. While this lacks 4k, a disc drive and as much storage, it is by far still a capable device. It is fast and plays every game well, and it’s small size does make it easy to bring with you if you’re going on a trip. If you can’t get the Series X or travel often and want your xbox with you, I’d recommend this.

    This is the 2nd Xbox Series S I have. Purchased this one when I was stranded working in North Dakota for a couple of months and ordered a carrying case for it as well from another vendor. Worked well and was easy to purchase and pick up at the local best buy.

    What a purchase. To start off I’m a Nintendo fan at heart. When it comes to PlayStation and Xbox I’m PlayStation all day. With that said I haven’t been able to find a PS five anywhere so when this came in stock I ended up purchasing it and I don’t regret it at all I’ve never had a council what’s good frame rates are loading times like this

    Upgraded from XBOX 360 and it’s amazing value for $300. Game pass ultimate together with this will assure hours and hours of amazing entertainment with incredible graphics. Thought I might need X series but I’m blown away by games like Assassins creed that look phenomenal.

    It's alright for an entry level console. Perhaps a PS5 user wanting to play a few games from gamepass, younger person, someone that owns multiple consoles, but nothing more. I have always been a dedicated xbox player and Microsoft dropped the ball in my opinion. The 512 GB SSD is laughable, especially when there is only 367 GB of space after you boot up the console and the extra storage you pay for you can just buy a series x. MS should have followed the footsteps of Sony and released an identical version of the series X but for $100 cheaper or maybe just to sell the console $150 cheaper. While I know that they just want to 'sell consoles' I don't for see this holding up for over two years. Glad I was able to get a Series X and return this one.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
