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.

    I have an older samsung curved tv that was having memory problems so things would stop working on it correctly. So i deleted everything from the tv and disconnected internet to make it a "dumb" tv. I use this xbox as a media player and it in my eyes is even better than the tvs OS. I primarily use it for netflix, hulu, disney ect.. and it occasionally gets a game played on it. But its super quiet and does the job. And its not an eye sore like the series x or ps5
