Q: I’m I the only one who’s still say coming soon??
A: Mines been saying coming soon even after the preorder smh
Q: Will I be charged immediately when I pre order?
A: According to Best Buy policy, when you place your pre-order they’ll authorize your form of payment with your bank, which results in a temporary authorization hold. After a few business days, the hold should be automatically released and the funds returned to your account. Shortly before release day as your order begins final processing for shipment or store pickup, they’ll reauthorize your form of payment, resulting in another hold. Once your order ships or becomes ready for store pickup they’ll then collect payment. Please note that pre-orders placed using PayPal are processed differently, and are charged immediately upon placing your pre-order.
A: Xbox Series S is an all-digital console and not compatible with Xbox game discs. If your son has a collection of Xbox One games on disc that he would like to play on the next-generation Xbox, we recommend getting Xbox Series X.
Q: Does it come with a controller
A: Thank you for your question! Yes, Xbox Series S comes with one Robot White Xbox wireless controller.
Q: what is the warranty of the Xbox series S?
A: Thank you for your question. Xbox Series S comes with a one-year limited manufacturer warranty from Microsoft.
Q: Is there an exact time when the new Xbox will be back in stock Nov 10?
A: November 10th will actually be the release date. It has not yet been released so there is no way for it to be “re-stocked” but we are not yet aware of the exact time it will be released.
A: Thank you for your question! Your son's Xbox Live Gold membership will transfer to his new Xbox console when he logs into his account.
A: Yes. It is a significant upgrade. The Xbox 1 X cannot do 4K at 120Hz or render raytracing graphics. The Xbox Series X can do up to 8K and render raytracing graphics. It also has a solid state drive, upgraded cpu and gpu, meaning it is more than twice as fast and powerful as the Xbox 1 X. The Xbox 1 X will eventually become obsolete as it won't be able to run future games as they will continue to advance in detail and performance demand.

First of all, Best Buy exceeded my expectations with their delivery service! The ordering process was smooth and hassle-free. I was pleasantly surprised when my order arrived earlier than expected, making the experience even better. The package was well-protected, and the item arrived in pristine condition. Kudos to Best Buy for providing such a reliable and efficient service! Now my gaming console :) The Xbox Series S is an incredible gaming console that offers amazing value for its price. It’s the perfect entry point into next-gen gaming for anyone looking for an affordable yet powerful option. Pros: 1. Compact Design: The sleek and lightweight design fits perfectly in any setup without taking up too much space. 2. Great Value: Despite being more affordable, it still delivers next-gen features like ray tracing, fast load times, and smooth gameplay. 3. Game Pass Integration: With Xbox Game Pass, you get access to a vast library of games, including new releases, at a budget-friendly cost. 4. Fast Performance: The custom SSD ensures lightning-fast load times, making gaming a seamless experience. 5. Quiet Operation: The console runs quietly, even during intensive gaming sessions. Cons: 1. Limited Storage: The 512GB SSD can fill up quickly, especially with larger game files, though there’s an option for expandable storage. 2. No Disc Drive: As a digital-only console, it’s not ideal for those who prefer physical copies of games. 3. Lower Resolution: It supports up to 1440p resolution rather than 4K, which might be a downside for gamers with high-end TVs. The Xbox Series S is perfect for casual gamers or anyone looking for an affordable way to enjoy the next generation of gaming. Combined with Best Buy’s exceptional delivery service, this purchase was a total win!

I was originally looking to get a PS5 but of course they were out of stock. I felt like this was more in my price range anyway, and I wasn't particular on which console brand I use (coming from Switch). I love the size. I feel like they probably really took into consideration how often people bring their consoles to their friends, family members, and general travel. It takes up such little space on my desk, and I love that I can have it standing. I did buy a less expensive external storage which only works with 360 games. I just couldn't justify the Seagate because I don't game enough to need it. The controller isn't as cool as the PS5 (which I now have) but it's cheaper, still good, and you have the Design Lab on Xbox's site. Keep in mind that you only get something like 350 GB of space because the 512 GB doesn't count the actual system, so you fill-up the remaining quickly if you want a lot of games. It's never overheated. I mostly play Fortnite (and got the Fortnite version) but have never felt like I was overusing it even after all day play. While the PS5 has a cool design, it's HUGE compared to this, and I really just like the design of the Xbox Series S more. I don't have disks though so I really get the benefit of a smaller console. Xbox Game Pass is also better to me than Playstation Plus. I feel like you have to pay more with Playstation because while you get live with the $10 subscription and 3 free games a month, you don't get access to their catalog until you pay more. And their catalog isn't as great imo. With Xbox, if you don't need live and cloud gaming, it's only $10/mo for their catalog and discounts. If you do want live and cloud it's $5 more. I compared the two and just felt like Game Pass was more suited to my needs than PS Plus. If you don't need to use disks, don't need a lot of space or don't mind buying more, want a sleek and small design, don't want to break the bank, want a console that's easy to travel with, and don't want to wait months and months for it to finally be in stock I would definitely go with the Series S!

Blown away by the compact size. It's a perfect device to pair with a gaming monitor. I set the Series S output to 1440p 120hz and am good to go. The load times are...What load times???? GamePass is a really great value now that EA Play is bundled in. Can't wait for more optimized for X|S games! Speaking of games, I only play a handful at a time so the 512 storage is plenty for me. If you like having more games at your disposal you're going to need to connect an external drive. The 1TB storage expansion cards are pricey at the moment. I'll have to take one point away for value. Other than that it's an impressive little system and will make a great gift this year.
