    Amazing machine for a great price comparatively to the other consoles available. I would recommend this to anyone who is into gaming or looking to get back in after a break. The employees were very helpful and friendly in recommending this console and couldn’t be more happy with my purchase!

    You can’t beat the XBOX S for value. When paired with the XBOX Game Pass, you’ll have a whole library of games right out of the box.

    I got exactly what I wanted from Best Buy: an Xbox Series S, very quickly and easy. Pickup was hassle-free, and the console works spectacularly. I bought it to play Mortal Kombat 1, Starfield, and a few other games, and it does so flawlessly. My only "complaint" would be the storage space, but since that's on the product label, you know what you're getting into, and it can be easily fixed by buying an external hard drive.

    I can’t get my hands on a Xbox series X at retail price and I needed to upgrade my old Xbox One. I set my expectations low because I figured for $299 there’s no way this console can be that much better. I could not be more wrong!! The way the graphics look, and how quickly games load and handle are amazing. The gamepass also makes Xbox a great buy!! 10/10 would buy again. I will gladly get the series X at retail when they get the inventory, but this is more than good for me!! Also reccommend getting the seagate expansion card because that’s my only complaint is storage… these games are way too big for the storage the console comes with.

      Hey Jeff,

      We're thrilled that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S! Investing in a Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S is an excellent suggestion, too. Thank you for sharing your experience; we hope you continue to have fun using it.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    XBOX Series S

    Best decision of my life! This is because I'm upgrading from an OG xbox one. There isnt much space, so consider that when buying. No disc drive. If you download many games, or want the best graphics then I suggest the Xbox series x. A external drive can be used to store games, but all X/S games need to be install in the main drive to play. Games: I'm playing on my LG 4K TV, which supports 4k at 60 fps. Elden Ring with this tv graphic setting is great. When playing Apex Legends, I need to adjust TV settings to 1080p 120fps and the game looks great!
