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.

    Really enjoy the Series S - great opportunity to get a foot in next Gen without breaking the bank. Playing with friends on the One X really made apparent the impacts of the M2 drive. It’s much smaller than I anticipated which is great!

    I got this system before I got the Series X and it is basically the same thing just less expensive and with Game Pass you are in gaming heaven. Save your money and get this one instead of the X if you are a casual gamer.

    Very impressed by this. i have a Series X and PS5. Neither of which you can travel with. This little guy. 1440p is good enough for trips and gaming while on vacation. Very impressed. Paired with Game Pass. Can’t beat it.

    Not enough storage, you’ll need a external hard drive. Small and compact can take anywhere

    Great entry console. Packs a punch graphically into a cost effective package, if you can live without discs. Son loves it, no complaints.

    Great console! I still prefer a disc drive, but for the money it's well worth it. The size, or lack of, is the most amazing aspect of this console. The series S has an amazing amount of power for such a compact design.

    Great try, but graphics fall short on the S model

    Actually very disappointed in the XBOX series S. It is mainly the performance. I have a series X and am mainly a PC gamer. the X and S are TOTALLY different devices and are seemingly years apart with graphical power and speed. Do not get an S if you care about having good graphics. It simply does not have the power output it should for the price of the console. The ONE X is actually much better graphically than the S without the NVMe storage for load speeds. The games that are at 120hz honestly look like Xbox 360 titles downsampled to 720P and even 480. Look the GPU specs up for yourself. The series X is worth way more than the price gap between the two. Get the series X! Trust me.. I have both and a one X!
