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.

    It's hard to say something about this console that hasn't already been said. I'm a PlayStation guy by and large, but the Game Pass deal was too much to not jump on board. This is my first Xbox, and once I got past the differences in OS and such, it's easy enough to manage. I'm playing Halo for the first time, and it's great. If you can manage to score one of these, do it.

    I'm a physical gamer that still likes disc, but this with Game Pass is an excellent investment. My only strike is the storage size. You download a big game or two and it your pretty much eating up the majority of the storage. An external storage device is pretty necessary.

    Definitely has enough juice. Only thing lacking is storage and the upgrade path still isn't cheap. With gamepass this is a near perfect system.

    Great system and I was grateful to get it from Best Buy when I couldn't find it anywhere else. I don't have the need to play too many games, just a few, and I'm fine not having the physical disk drive. I like how compact and well designed this is. Very quick and simple to set up anywhere.

    By far a better unit than the previous Xbox One S, it's seemingly quicker to the punch, graphics seem to load more readily. Only downside is it seems to eat up more bandwith.

    Compact, Purpose Built, Economic This console boots up, installs, and loads games significantly faster than previous gen consoles. Other key difference between this machine and the previous gen consoles is that it has Quick Resume. NOTE- if you get the the Series S or X, your TV HAS to be hdmi 2.1 ready in order to see the true Next Gen X'periance
