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.

    We were looking to get the Series X for our son for Xmas, however, due to its short supply and high demand we were constantly striking out. So finally after hours of research we've decided to pull the plug and get the Series S for him and he really likes it. He mainly uses it to play racing games and what an improvement from his old system. We are so glad we decided to buy it verses continue to wait. I really recommend it.

    It’s a good system, just not enough memory. The second I got a chance to upgrade to an X I did.

    Great console that can play all the new games. The only downside is the storage is too low to enjoy 3+ modern games

    I like it but had to try the series x. If on a budget or don’t like having disc and cases it’s definitely worth it.
