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.

    Its another video game console.. need to buy additional storage, not a fan of the power supply. It was taking 10 hrs to install a game, which is whatever, ill just play a game on the cloud.. right? Nah, the install stops when i played a game on the cloud.. i for some reason could only turn it on from my iphone, which kind of didnt make sense to me…. The library could be alittle more informative about what you are buying… i returned it 16 hrs after purchase, maybe got 1 hr play time because of installs, cloud gaming, set up, sleeping, not being able to turn it on without my phone…

    Great system. Only wish it had more space. Def pay up and get the X or PS5. Overpay, it’s worth it.

    Great console for its price range. Only downfall is there is no storage space and you gotta use an external storage but it is great for cloud gaming if that's all you need it for.

    love the console! wanted the series x but this one is a great fill in for the time being. Gave 4 star cuz it definitely needs more storage. ive only got 6 games installed and my internal storage is almost maxed.

    I was was lucky enough to get this when there were very little available. Its still working great, i use it everyday. The xbox is desinged to be more than just a game console, it works as an all around media device. The menues are very easy to navigate (much more so than the playstation) in terms of use other than gaming.
