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.

    Been trying to find an Xbox for two years! I’m glad I have this one. It works well. Of course since it’s a cheaper one, you can’t download a lot of games. But an Xbox with low storage is better than no Xbox lol
