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.

    Finally got one of these and it runs pretty smooth. It is definitely an upgrade from the original Xbox one! Was smaller than expected but very space saving.

    Better than the last one but I wish it was 4K I expected the memory to be gone quick and it was. I think it’s a value play for those looking for the new systems but I like the x series better and I think will be more popular in the long run

    It’s great and affordable for a next gen entry level console. Game Pass also makes it worth it. If you’re looking for a next gen console and can’t find a Series X or PS5 this is definitely what you should get.
