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.

    Absolutely love my Series S. Got this because I couldn't find a Series X, and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely feels next gen compared to my One X. If you know what you are getting when you buy this it will exceed your expectations.

    Amazing value. I have a PS5 with the disc drive and honestly I will be using this over that now. The controller is so much more comfortable and the Xbox games pass is the best deal in gaming out there.

    This Xbox is amazing, it runs so smooth and fast! The video quality is also nothing short of amazing! I love it so much that I’m thinking of getting my wife one as well once it’s available again. I’ve looked everywhere and there’s no luck.

    This is fantastic for our small living space. Our son can now play with his siblings that live far away and we aren’t finding space for a hundred games. Definitely recommend

    C'mon! Its an Xbox .. my son loves this! His mind was blown because he was sharing mine but he now has his own! The setup was easy but most important, all his saved games and skins transferred over ,, that was key!

    The XBox Series S is exactly what my 14 year old wanted. I did buy an external hard drive to store games, but probably won't need it. The Series X has 1 TB vs. 512 GB, and is designed for a 4K TV, but this is fine for my 7 year old Sony Bravia.

    Great system, I wish Best Buy’s return policy was better, ended up getting water damage and I have missed it ever since. They were not interested in letting me return it even with a warranty!!

    I'll keep this review short and quick Pros & Cons Pros- -Great for emulation -backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 and XBOX games run at 1440p -Great for media playback -Price is decent for what this does however try to get this console on sale not full price Cons- -Backwards compatibility for xbox one games do not get any benefit aside from unlocked framerate games -Backwards compatibily for xbox one games it runs the xbox one games not the one X games for some odd reason when this console is cleary powerful enough to do so -Games optimized for Series S still run terribly as of this writing -I would only recommend this console for people with 1080p monitors UNLESS ur using it for backwards comp. for 360 and before games then you get the resolution boost to keep it short save ur money for the series X dont give in to this

    Good system that's low priced without dealing with dvds. This feels more next level because you got access to your library of games instantly with a push of a button. As long as Microsoft supports the console, this is 5 stars.

    Great affordable console! This is really a gamepass machine, it is well worth every cent of $300! It does 1080p 60hz on most but not all games! A huge upgrade from the xbox one s, not so much a big upgrade from xbox one x!

    Got this with game pass ultimate. Already have a PS5 and wanted a base Xbox to be able to play exclusives as well as their game pass catalogs. Incredibly nice, not near close to the ps5 or series x, but a great base next gen console.

    What is the purpose of this system? My opinion is this is the most budget friendly version of the new console to experience next gen games on the cheap, Get this and subscribed to gamepass. Seriously you don't have to buy a single game ever.

    I love this thing. I didnt want to buy the series x because im mostly a pc player and the price. the series s is perfect to play “sports” games and the price is unbeatable
