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.

    Powerhouse

    This little machine is a powerhouse! Despite the description saying it is not a 4K machine, it will run 4K on streaming apps and simple games like Ori. My girlfriend uses the Series S while I use the Series X. We both load into lobbies at the EXACT same time on games like Hunt: showdown and Call of Duty. The Series S loads and games just as fast as the Series X. I wear glasses and honestly I cant notice the difference between the two consoles when playing any game. Kinda wish I didn't spend so much on the Series X and just got two of these.

    Normally, I don’t pay attention to Xbox consoles, but as a long time PlayStation user, I can confidently endorse this console. It’s incredibly small, just barely the size of a book, and it runs amazingly smooth, haven’t had any performance issues yet! This console is perfect for someone who wants a new console on a budget!

    It was alright. Definitely not as good as the series X, but for the price, really good starter box. It plays most optimized games well. Can't ask for anything more than that.

    For the price of only 300$ you get so much that the xbox one series is lacking, quick resume, fps boost, this console is so quiet no matter what game you are playing. Ive had so much fun playing with my friends all day and never got bored. The controller it comes with is also way better than the xbox one series, These controllers have more grip and the bumpers don’t make noise. I truly recommend you go out and pick your self up an xbox series s.

    Series S for the win

    For 300 you can not do better than this. No need for more expensive items - this thing works great and smooth for everything. Some remarks: if you have huge 4K oled TV - this is not for you and rather go for Series X. There are some games ported from One S - they look terrible graphic wise when Series X enjoys graphics from One X ported games. But there is no difference between this and more expensive model if you use 2K or 1080P monitor.
