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.

    If you’re wanting a newer xbox but don’t want to spend as much for the series x this is a great option

    Great Console - Only Problem is Storage

    I purchased this item worried that it wouldn't run much faster than my Xbox One and be exponentially slower than the Series X, but I was very wrong! The Series S runs quickly, still looks great on my monitor, and is a fraction of the cost! One big downside is the lack of storage space. I can hold maybe 3 games downloaded at a time on my Xbox. This issue, however, is mitigated by buying the SeaGate external hard drive where you can then have 2.5 TB of storage - over twice that of the Series X - and still >$100 less than the stock Series X.

    Very good design and controller. Crisp movement and the remote play was almost seemless. Combined with game pass, this is the ultimate entry level next gen console. I will be getting the x for the 4k/120 but I'll hate to let this go.
