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.

    This system was very hard to get and I finally got lucky and was able to put in cart and purchase with an arrival day of Dec 31st and it came Dec 24th. Merry Christmas to my grandson who thought it would come by January 26 for his Birthday. He is happy and so are we. He's such a good kid and that was one of his rewards.

    It is good but missing the disc is more important than I thought it would be, I use game consoles for dvd/blueray more than I realized

    I purchased this to connect to my monitor in my office and it is the perfect size for that. I have been playing Playstation for years so I didnt have any games so the digital version xbox is great. I would recommend game pass, it is such a good deal. Controller does seem a little cheap though.

    We love the Xbox series games and the new console is great, just can’t play discs, and we added a seagate hard drive for an extra terrabyte which makes it an awesome console.

    Other than the low storage it’s great as a cheaper (and more available) alternative to the series x.

    I been on PlayStation for over a decade, got this just for Starfield and am very happy with the performance and the option for additional storage if needed. Look forward to trying other games.

    Pleasantly surprised. I was concerned about storage capacity, but as an average gamer, I have downloaded most of my current games and still have room to spare. Performance is a cast improvement over Xbox One X, but still not as good as the Series X, obviously.

    I find this device very fun and useful! I love not having to use a disk! It saves so much more space! And the console itself is smaller which is great! It helps with keeping less space used!

    Insane performance for an insanely cheap next gen console. Been using it for 6 months and have had no problems. The fans have basically no sound and the ssd is really good. Buy this over the series x and even the Ps5 if you wanna save some money, unless of course you want the ps exculsives.

    I love it. It is great for my son. It’s smaller than the Xbox one S and it’s so quiet. Gamepass is the best thing to buy for a kid as well. So many games for kids available.

    Great console and even with the limited storage most games still work great on it. It even comes with batteries in the controller. Unfortunately it’s not a rechargeable battery

    I started playing video games with the Atri 2600. I have not have a system in a long time. I am blown away by the graphics and speed of this system. I have no issue with it being all digital. The Ultimate Pass is a total bargain.
