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.

    Had to help my friend buy this because he did not have the patience or time to even attempt it. None the less the xbox is a great value for a next gen console for only 300 dollars. Still playing next gen games like a decent pc would.
