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.

    The older I get the more I move to digital. This console is right up my alley. I got the expansion card for it so the storage isn’t too much of an issue. Would definitely recommend to any gamers out there. May not be quite as powerful as the X, but it does the job pretty well.

    Great backup to my ps5, I only play halo and sports titles but it does what I need it to as far as streaming movies and shows! Ps5 is miles better than this specific version of the Xbox but I get plenty of use out of it. Would highly recommend as a great budget console if you mainly play sports games. Biggest negative is lack of any first party games that are any good…

    It was hard to find in stock, but I am happy with my purchase. I bundled with an extra controller and game pass for 3 months to receive a deal. I bought an additional 4T external harddrive to have more room to download games that I play. Was able to plug it in and the xbox register it. No issues with adding that storage. Set up for xbox was easy to understand. I already had an account. It is smaller than I thought it would be which is great for being able to set it up without taking up a ton of room on my Tv stand. No issues with the xbox so far.

    Now I haven't owned an Xbox since I sold my 360 in 2014, and I got to say Microsoft did not disappoint with this console. It is a wonderful entry level console to break into next gen gaming. Pair this with game pass and you can even say that you can compete with budget gaming PC builds (I own a gaming PC myself). I love this little console. What I like most is being able to travel with this for gaming on the go. No need to try to lug my heavy gaming PC around.

    Solid console if digital-only is OK

    Solid digital-only console which is optimal for GamePass titles; comes with one controller which has limited rumble capability (keep that in mind as existing or new controllers might be required) and an easy configuration interface which involves the Xbox app
