Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this so now I can watch 4k content. Plus I wanted the smaller xbox! So far so good! I keep winning in halo! lol if you have a 4k tv and you enjoy gaming its a better route then buying a 4k player. Only downside is I will have to move it to my 65 to watch movies as soon as I start building my collection.

I love my xbox one s, I'm so glad I waiting to get the one s instead of getting just the Xbox one. The graphics are insane controller feels great in my hands and the console looks clean and sharp. It's a great buy at $250 you usually pay $300 just for a 4k blue ray player but to get a game console out of it too is a steal and it's got even more potential than that

The xbone S is a big step up from the original xbone. The size, speed and looks are much better. Add in a 4k player and what the cost is and its easy to see the value. The controller is much improved as well. Will I upgrade to scorpio when it comes out? Yes but I plan on keeping my xbone S for my bedroom.

The Xbox One S console totally makes the other's pale in comparison. It's no longer the size of your grandmother's VCR which makes taking it from place to place a breeze. The games both old & new look AMAZING & the graphics rock. I bought this online & it came on time in perfect condition. I did purchase the protection plan because this wasn't an inexpensive item but Best Buy did give me a price that was easily $50.00 less than ever other retailer & they have a price match guarantee. Everything about this system is worth every penny. If I had one complaint it would be that I need to be online to use the live features & the blu ray but it's not a big enough deal to even be a concern. I am satisfied with the Xbox One S & Best Buy in a big way. Definitely would recommend this to a friend, family, a neighbor...an anyone...It's so worth it!

Today is a day I have waited a long time for, the day my Xbox One is no longer the size of a VCR from 1989. Compared with the original Xbox One, we have a few key differences. Most good, but not all. Pros vs. Original Xbox One: [+] 40% smaller! And yes, the difference is very noticeable [+] 4K output. Not as big of a deal to most people as 4K adoption is not huge yet, and it's only really for video/Blu-ray (games are upscaled) [+] The side USB port has been moved from the left side to the front, which is great for space saving (if another device is to the left) and less damaging if someone trips over the USB cable. [+] No gloss finish. They did get rid of the gloss in a minor pre-S refresh, but I'm happy to see it is completely gone. As always, glossy finishes look great on day one but do NOT age well (easily scuffed and scratched). [+] Built-in power supply. To me, this is HUGE (reverse pun intended). The old power supply added an unreasonable amount of heft to the already oversized console. It is especially great if you like to pack and travel with your Xbox since that's one less brick to carry around, and makes it much easier and cheaper to have spare 'travel' power cables so you don't have to remove your main cables when traveling. [+] Hardware upgrade. In addition to the 4K hardware upgrade (HDMI 1.4 vs HDMI 2.0), there is more processing power available for HDR, though to be honest I'm not sure how much I care about that. The real hardware upgrade won't be until Project Scorpio in 2017. [*] Higher capacity. You can now choose from models ranging from 500GB to 2TB! I definitely recommend no less than 1TB considering how quickly these games eat up hard drive space. I'm not a fan of cluttering up my area with external USB hard drives, so the extra internal space of the 2TB version was a huge selling point to upgrade. Cons vs. Original Xbox One: [-] As of launch, only available in white. Don't get me wrong, the white looks beautiful, but you can't go wrong with additional color choices. In my case, white matching NOTHING else in my home theater setup, so I would have preferred to stick with black. I'm sure that will come soon though. [-] No elite version (yet), which means no hybrid SSD available for faster load times. Elite controller still works great though. [-] Does not offer any option of a bundled Kinect, though it has been clear for awhile that Kinect support has been dwindling. [-] Does not include a headset, not even a cheapy earbud-style one. [-] Kinect users *raises own hand* effectively lost a USB port. They removed the Kinect-specific port, so now you'll have to use up one of the two rear USB ports to get your Kinect on. This also raises the issue of the console not including a Kinect-to-USB adapter, which just adds extra hassle to get your Kinect Kinected again. PSA regarding Kinectability mentioned above: For a limited time, you can get a free Kinect-to-USB adapter by contacting Xbox Support and providing your serial numbers. *Is it worth upgrading my Xbox One?* There is not a one-size-fits all answer to this. For me, it was a yes, as I was replacing a secondary Xbox One and I wanted the 2TB and smaller footprint. My Elite is still my main console, which I'm not ready to replace with the S due to the hybrid SSD and color. For most people, I would bet the answer is no. If money is a concern, it's probably no. If you don't 4K game or need the extra terabyte, it's probably no. If you're just a tech geek like me and always need the latest stuffs and thingies, then go for it! Ultimately, I'm still much more eagerly awaiting the full Scorpio hardware update, but the Xbox One S was a long overdue refresh. If nothing else, it at least leaves the Xbox One no longer as a beastly, oversized, whalephant, VCR, gargantuan, monolithic mass of plastic as its prior version was.

This is easily my favorite gaming system of all time, and I've been gaming since the Atari 2600. As a plus for this version it supports HDR and upscaled 4k (but not true 4k, and there's a HUGE difference between the two) as well as 4k/hdr movies. Huge selection of games, great online, the best controllers on the market, and great performance. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is that at this point you'd do yourself a huge favor and just upgrade to the XBox 1X model, which supports true 4k.

Smaller profile is nice, no brick is outstanding. Bought as a replacement for my kid's Xbox 360 which had died on us. It's only hooked up to a 720p TV, so no benefits to having the 4K or HDR. But it's an Xbox One with upgraded power features, so it's smoother than my Day One edition, and quieter. My kid mostly plays Assassin's Creed on it and watches Netflix, has been doing what I wanted with no issues so far.

Xbox One S is better in every way, from design to the 4k capabilities including blu ray / HDR to the refined bluetooth controller. The actual system is smaller, sleeker, and has better disk eject button and usb placement. If you have an original xbox one and are thinking of upgrading, it is worth it, if you have a 4k tv.

I got an original Xbox One at launch and absolutely hated it, it was buggy and huge. I purchased the new Xbox One S to play Forza and I have not been let down by it since I purchased it. They have fixed all the issues of the original Xbox One and have made a killer console. Add 4K on top of that, great purchase.

I bought this knowing i had extra storage. But the value is in the 4K playing and upscale. It will also work with HDR if your TV is compatible. I like the bundle with the game as well. Battlefield 1 is one of the most realistic graphic game i have played. It is completely worth the purchase.

Grate console, play 4k movies, very,very good graphics and the price is good to.

New and improved, smaller design. Much better to commute with. No more power brick. Standard power cable same as (PS4). Redesigned controller , its narrow and has a slight textured grip. It's also got Bluetooth to interface with your phone or PC. Great for steam games. 4K blu ray and 4K Netflix . This comes with a digital key for Battlefield 1. This download took over a day with FIOS 50/50 internet on wifi.The console needed a few updates as well as the controller. Plan accordingly if you make this a gift. Otherwise it's gonna be 24-48 before you can play online. Same old GUI interface. Slow laggy. PS4 will always win hands down for just to sit down make a party and play the darn game. Xbox wants to do too much and control your tv and has to many tiles and apps. I do like the white color and smaller design as well as the Bluetooth added to the controller. It's interface is marginally better but it's still indeed an improvement. If you don't need smaller design Bluetooth controller, 4K or don't have a 4K tv wait for the Scorpio which will be 4K gaming @60 fps, (which sounds too good to be true especially when high end multi thousand dollar pcs struggle to output.) We'll see.

This was purchased as a replacement for my teenage daughter's Xbox 360 that was failing. The slim form factor over the original Xbox One is a great improvement, as is no longing having the clunky brick to manage. Seems to be a slight improvement in performance over the original One console, however the aesthetic appearance feels a little cheaper. Gone is the "touch" Xbox One button on the front (this one actually is a depression button). I also prefer the all-black model, it just looks a little sleeker in my opinion. Also haven't had a chance to view the 4K Bluray player since it's in a kids room. Note: Battlefield 1 was a bonus for me since I was already looking to buy the game, so by getting this console on sale for $250 made it feel more like I was buying BF1 for the $60 while only paying $190 for the new Xbox. Win-win if you ask me.

It's a great system! The 4K Blu-ray works wonderfully. However I wish I would have got the one terabyte but I ended up buying a external hard drive anyway.

This is my go to console. I have no horse in this race as I love gaming and I own all the consoles.I don't like being on the outside looking in. When a game comes out I want to play, then I need to own them all to be sure I can play that game. That being said I always seem to turn on my One more than the others. And with this revision of the One console they seemed to have gotten it right.The size, the look, the power source now located within the unit, the updated controller, everything about it is very well done. Looks fantastic on my LG 4K TV and the 4K Blu-rays look perfect too. For the price of a dedicated 4K Blu-ray player you get it all with this console. Always be looking for a sale here as you can get a lower price that includes a extra game. Buy without fear and enjoy it's contents. Be well

I've been a long time 360 user so the backward compatibility is a plus. I got battlefield 1 with it as a download. It ate up a lot of hard drive space. Loaf timed are long but I suppose that is a result of the great graphics. I don't have a 4k tv...yet so that us a great feature for the future. Overall pleased with the purchase.

I absolutely love this system. It is 4k nervana. I mostly bought this system because I wanted the 4k blueray player. However after using this system I realised its so much more than that. I love the fact that I can pin my shows to the home screen saves so much time opening the app. I also use the live TV feature and have noticed some major improvement in picture quality when my cable box is hooked up to the Xbox one s. Let's face it cable just isn't cutting it at 1080p when you have a 4k screen. The TV can only upscale so much but the Xbox one s really pushes what I though was possible. I am more than happy with this purchase and am glad to add another system to the man cave.

The Game console is slim. The cord no longer has the big box attached to it like the 360 so it was really easy to hide. The 4K is a great feature on the Xbox One S we love it. Its easy to use!

I got the console on a black friday deal, having already owned the original xbox one, but once i saw the one s, it had to be mine. Great product, slim, less clunky, 4k availability. Awesome.

As a long time PlayStation fan it is hard for me to write this review saying that I've been more impressed with Xbox's new console iteration than anything Sony has put out with the PS4 Pro. Sony's decision to not include a 4K Blu-ray player was my leading cause for looking into purchasing an Xbox One S and I am not disappointed. The Xbox One S boasts a slicker design and gets rid of the bulkiness that plagued the original Xbox One all wall including 4K and HDR gaming and movies. Also if you're trading in your Xbox one for this it helps with the already low price of their bundles. It is after all the cheapest 4K Blu-ray player on the market and it does so much more as well. Games look astounding such as Battlefield 1! As much of a Sony fanboy as I have been I have to say that Microsoft is winning me over at this point in the generation. Sony has some catching up to do. If you're looking for a great console with tons of integrated features and a 4K Blu-ray player there's no choice right now better than the Xbox one S. Good job Microsoft!
