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.

    Great system to enjoy game pass on. Using it as our Xbox since we also have a PS5. Works snappy and great starter console.

    If your looking for an upgrade from any previous generation and don't want to spend 500 on the Series X this is perfect. The only downside is that you can't play older disk games. Its quicker, smoother and graphics are much better.

    Great purchase! Basically brand new in the box. Everything came with it except the hdmi chord. However, Best Buy did give me a $25 gift card to replace that mistake. I’ve had this Xbox since October, it is now June and it’s great with no problems. I did have stick drift on the controller that came with it a couple months after receiving. But stick drift is pretty common. Other than that 10/10 would recommend.
