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.

    Great option for getting into latest gen gaming. I didn’t need to seek out an X series. This worked geat with my 1080p tv and surround system. I didn’t need a disc drive, just something to get into the world of XBox. I ended up purchasing the extra memory.

    Excellent console for the price. Yeah you can’t use discs, but at $299.99 and 120fps at 1440p gaming you can’t ask for anything more. Great buy!
