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.

    Purchased as secondary box in another room. Amazing how small it is. I do recommend some sort of external hd. Amazed at how good the 1440p looked vs full 4k

    Works well. A bit better than the Xbox one S. There is real value in the Game Pass from MS with the new console as the upgraded game versions are already available.

    Good warranty system available, product works great. Came packaged well. The box was a little bit sharp and gave me a paper cut, but not a big deal.

    Excellent console. Might not be as powerful as the big brother X but plenty for a part time gamer like myself. Have it paired with an LG C9 and both deliver.

    Awesome little system. I couldn't find the Series X anywhere so I settled for this one until I can upgrade later in. Not disappointed in the least.

    The easiest next generation console, this console does some games at 2K (1440p) with up to 120 frames per second. It looks amazing on a 1440p monitor with VSynk.

    For $300 you can have a next gen console. When you add gamepass, its the best deal in gaming. Im not sure how anyone could sargue against it.
