Customer Ratings & Reviews

I needed a 4K bluray player and this Xbox one S is the least expensive one on the market. The only bad thing about Xbox as a bluray player is that it will not currently do Dolby atmos or DTS:X via bitstream. You can still get Dolby digital, DTS, Dolby True HD and DTS:HD but to do atmos or DTS:X you will need a stand alone player or wait till Microsoft eventually updates it via firmware. This also streams apps like Netflix and Amazon and many others in 4K native resolution as well as HDR where applicable. Games can also be upscaled by the Xbox in 4K and sent to your tv in case if you didn't want your TV to do the upscaling. I've found that having the Xbox do the upscaling to 4K decreases perceived input and display lag while gaming. The new Bluetooth controller feels great in the hands and connects to my PC flawlessly when playing games on steam big picture mode. I can't speak for HDR gaming yet as Forza will be the first game that I will be able to try out and it has not released yet. Make sure to pair this with a 4K tv that has HDR 10 and at least 1000 nits to get the best out of the HDR 10 capabilities. This console is a home run, runs silent, keeps very cool, no more external power brick and should have been the initial Xbox one.

I was in the market for a 4k bluray player and after looking at Samsung that is still going for around $400, the new Xbox caught my eye. Its definitely a good value that combines a game system with a large 2TB hard drive (that Microsoft announced is a limited run production) and 4k video capabilities for bluray playback and streaming. The setup was fairly painless. I have it connected to my 4k capable Denon AVR and Sony X940D 4k HDR TV. After downloading the update, Xbox recognized my TV capabilities and set itself mostly right (I had to manually change bit depth to 10bit from default 8bit). Added the Xbox to my Logitech Harmony remote and it was smooth sailing from there. Halo played great and Mad Max 4k bluray looked great! Negatives: - Only available in white color. Can stick out in your AV center if everything else is black. See the picture... - Lack of Dolby Atmos and DTS X sound modes for 4k bluray playback. Hopefully Microsoft will patch them in soon. Meanwhile it still sounds good with 7.1 uncompressed audio out. - Hard drive is slow, 5400 rpm speed, so there is some slowdown in dashboard and game loading/installing (same speed as with original Xbox One). I wish Microsoft would have made it user up-gradable like in PS4. Overall an easy recommendation if you have a 4k TV and are looking for a 4k bluray player/streamer. You get a solid game machine with a solid game library with it. Enjoy!

I *love* my new Xbox One S console. As a bit of an Xbox superfan, I already owned two Xbox Ones with Kinect, and have around 120 games, all digital. There's plenty to love: -Smaller footprint makes fitting it in an entertainment center much easier -No power brick to hide or work around -Ability to stand it vertically means you can put it next to (or even behind) your TV -4K UHD player with HDR looks FANTASTIC -Having the console combined with your Blu-Ray player frees up a ton of space and saves you an HDMI port -HDMI pass-through (same as the last Xbox One version) continues to save you an HDMI port -Functionality with your cable box (running it through the HDMI-in port) is fantastic, intuitive and responsive -Up to 2 terabytes of internal storage for your media hoarding, plus you can expand it via USB 3.0 drives -Newly updated controller looks and feels great, with better connectivity In short, this console is an insane value. I actually returned the Samsung 4K UHD player I'd bought earlier and was able to swap outright. I have two 4K TVs, and recommend pairing this with a Samsung 6 Series 6300 set. The smart remote works really well, and I can control EVERYTHING with it without having to mash a bunch of different buttons: TV, Xfinity X-1 DVR, Vizio soundbar and the Xbox. It's a dream setup.

The Xbox One S is just what Microsoft needed for it's console refresh. The reduced size is greatly appreciated. It looks very slick in white, and putting the power supply inside the box is a huge win. The system still runs very quite, and the 4K HDR media capabilities are amazing. Movies have never looked this good on my 4K tv. The 2TB harddrive size is greatly appreciated, my original 500 GB Xbox One filled up very quick and I had a 2TB external attached. The system appears to be slightly upgraded, the dashboard is quicker and instantly responds. And it might be the 4K upscaling, but I swear it feels like games are running smoother than ever. Overall this is a great purchase and if you don't have an Xbox One now is the time to jump in.

I was debating on waiting for project Scorpio but I decided to upgrade now from a 1tb xbox one. So the research i did beforehand claimed it's not much difference not worth the purchase if you already have an Xbox One XXX wrong I saw loading improvements in game performance improvements especially on Halo , Grand Theft Auto ,and Forza I also had a 4k TV with hdr so I went ahead so I could advantage of the features the design is beautiful I love the slim design and no more power brick the controller was a let down nothing special or better than the original besides PC play with it now so just pick up an Elite controller if you're on the fence pick this one up because also I hear project Scorpio is going to cost an arm and a leg.

I love the color and the siza I already had an xbox one but I wanted a 4k Blu-ray and to paly games you cant go wrong with picking up a xbox one s if you love 4k movies and shows

I got the 2TB Xbox One so there is plenty of room for all my games, music and videos. The HDR and 4K is simply beautiful to look at, and 4K on Netflix is awesome. Enabling the 4K on some TV's can be a hassle so be sure to check the manuals, and maybe the forums. I can't wait till HDR enabled games come out, they will look amazing. Starting at $300 for a game console with a 4K Blu-Ray player included is the best deal you will ever get. Get one now to hold you off till the Scorpio comes out. I plan to upgrade/trade in when that one comes out.

I have the old Xbox one but this Xbox one S have great futures, like 4K and HDR. In my experience its a great product. Very happy with this product and execellent service with Best Buy.

Plug & Play. Works as expected!. 2TB finally! Materials are great.

I love the slim, loads faster at start up, The 4K UHD and HDR is sweet! Hope to see some games soon at 4K. The OS does seem a tab bit slow sometimes, but that may be to I'm a preview member. Then I got a free Kinect adapter 4 the first Xbox One S I bought at BestBuy, But M$ wont send a second one I order from M$ tell I get it in the mail and register it. Send it now M$!

I haven't had a game console since 2007/2008 which back then I had many in the household. It felt great to purchase this with my best buy credit card. Also I was online looking for the box one which since its old I knew it would be discounted. Not knowing there was a newer xbox console out and it being white I was so hype to wit purchase it. Since that da I have been happy and satisfied with my XBOX ONE S in white

Best 4k movie, streaming device plus you get to play games with HDR resolution soon. I brought two as the center entertainment hub which controls the TV, apps and games.

This is by far the best device for gaming and entertainment on the market. Much more versatile than a playstation.

I purchased this and within a week or so it broke when I tried the playing "Lucy" in 4K. The system would no longer read any disc other than games after that, so I returned it. The Xbox build quality has always been sub par and it's getting old. This was my 3rd Xbox One.

What's the big deal? Well, MS redesigned it, made it 40% smaller, quadrupled the internal HDD, bumped the display output to 4K from 1080P, added support for 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, 4K streaming, upgraded the controller to Bluetooth and added a front USB port. There were also some modest performance upgrades that yielded a small frame rate bump in most games and more steady frame rate across the board while gaming. By purchasing this one machine, I am able to unload my Buick-sized XBox One AND my overpriced Samsung 4K Ultra HD Player. The Samsung 4K Player was $400... the same price as this new XBox One S that does so much more! If you're looking to get into 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, 4K streaming and want a little bit nicer of an XBox One build then this is the one to get. Just watch out for that XBox Scorpio in a little over a year. If you only want to buy once, then wait for Scorpio. If you don't mind upgrading again, then grab the One S to tide you over until Scorpio.

It seems that MS is always a bit behind on the hardware side of things - the original XB1 was a massive box that barely fit in anybody's entertainment center and had inferior specs to it's main competitor, all the while giving you the luxury of trying to find a home for that external power supply. Enter the XB1S - nearly the same form factor as PS4, Internal PSU, 4k capable, HDR support; all of the features that were in HDMI 2.0 spec when XB1 was in development. Why did it take so long to catch up, MS? The console itself is gorgeous. How long until the white turns that awful shade of yellow that nearly all white plastic gets to? Hard to say, but for now this console design stands out from the crowd. The same ports most of us are using with XB1 are present (save for the Kinect port, but there's an adapter for that). Same ability to use an external USB3.0 HDD for game, app, and media storage. New controller feels a little more solid than the original, probably due to the added weight of the trigger vibration motors, however not as beastly as the Elite controller. Haven't had a chance to try out the bluetooth connection to my PC yet but the ability is a welcome addition. Is it worth the upgrade from the original XB1? Depends on how much you can get for your old console. Have the extra cash laying around to burn? Give the original to your younger sibling who can't afford it and get the 'S' for yourself, otherwise wait for Project Scorpio.

I had been looking at moving up to 4K and UHD Bluray but the players were a bit cost prohibitive. After reading about this, I was pretty excited. We already own One console but it's in my son's room which means my other two kids don't get many chances to play. This allows the other two some playing time with the added bonus of UHD bluray and 4K streaming from netflix and Amazon at around or below the price of a standalone player. Even with a no-name, cheap 4K tv, the picture is impressive. The console itself is cool. I like the smaller size, the white finish and the loss of the power brick. My kids are really pleased with the physical power and eject buttons, as opposed to the overly sensitive touch buttons on the original. Game play and dashboard are the same but with a slight improvement in graphics and the addition of Cortana, though I've yet took set up the Kinect to talk to her. Speaking of Kinect.. For those who don't know already, no Kinect is included in the package and there's no connection for one on the One S console. However, if you already own the original console and Kinect, you can get a free adapter to connect through one of the USB ports. Just go to xbox.com and chat with a customer service rep. and they'll fix you up. (side note: It speeds the process if your consoles are registered on the xbox site) If you don't already have one, you can still buy one but you'll have to shell out around $30 for the adapter. All in all, I'm pleased with this purchase and would recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade their gaming or viewing.

I was in the market for an additional Xbox One. I had the original one, but wanted one for another room. I chose the Xbox One S given the newer and smaller look, but also for the larger hard drive. I felt I did not need to add an external hard drive with this unit. So if you factor the cost of an original Xbox One plus the cost of an external hard drive, you might as well spend a few extra bucks and get the Xbox One S. In my opinion this is what the original Xbox One should have been. Very quiet, have the option to orient the console vertically, can run multiple apps without lag (my original console cannot seem to run Plex or Netflix when an app like Edge or Youtube are running; video skips), controller has a better feel and can connect to a PC without a special adapter, apps load faster, and has the ability to stream in 4k. I think if you are happy with your Xbox One console, it is not necessary to upgrade to this console as games do not seem to run any better (no 4k support for games yet). Main drawback for this console for me is the inability to connect the Kinect Sensor out of the box. You can get a free adapter from Microsoft as long as you have an original Xbox One, however it has been a bit of a hassle as you have to open a Microsoft Support ticket to get it. Still have not received mine yet.

I had my Xbox One since it's release, and trust me when I tell you I use these things. When the One S was released I knew I was going to have to upgrade. The fact that this thing supports HDR10 and 4k out of the box was a big deciding factor for me. Couple that with the removal of that obnoxious power brick and a 40% smaller footprint, I was sold. The One S is faster, quieter, and produces a MUCH better picture than the original One; so if you're on the fence about upgrading. I definitely recommend it! Plus the new controllers are nice too!

Good system before this update on the design, now it's sleek, slim and still powerful. 2TB to start for storage is nice for the price, you can expand that with an external hard drive as well. Now 4K playback for games and all UltraHD discs, it is the cheapest 4K player on the market which is great. HDR10 playback is a plus provided you have the tv to play it back on gives the most beautiful pictures in console gaming. It'll be interesting to see how many more games get HDR support before Sony releases their set. Overall this is what the original should have been, great entertainment, great quality and now great power and features.
