Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Xbox Series S's ample storage, impressive performance, and crisp graphics. Many appreciate its compact size and ease of use, finding it a great value for the price. While some miss the disc drive, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive. A few users noted that the resolution isn't 4K and that the console can get warm during use.

    Works amazingly, have been playing at least 4 hours a day and the efficiency of buying it from Best Buy and being able to pick it up within 2 hours was awesome. I do wish the controller came with a rechargeable battery though

    I’ve been teetering on getting an Xbox Series S for a couple months now, but the descion was made so much easier when I saw they had the sleek black colored version of the Series S. I am thankful they had it in stock!

    Definitely worth it. The reg and cheaper Series S has such little storage compared to this 1TB model and the Series X is basically a glorified Series S. This is the best option out of the three in my opinion.

    It works great and it is still running smooth after many hours of gameplay. The 1TB storage is amazing to have and just enough for what an average gamer needs.

    Definitely an upgrade from the One X, even on the graphics side. Faster uploads, better ping and I've experienced almost no frame dropping in fps games. Worth the buy if you're still on the fence about upgrading from the One X.

    Bought this for my cousin because the original white ones were not in stock. This one comes with a lot more space and if you add a storage expansion on it you get so much more space

    I cant speak on the performance side, but the series s is more than powerful enough to run Lords of the Fallen = to the series, and better in sone instances, can only say based on how my friend was saying though

    Faster and easy for a parent to set up. I bought this for my 9 year old son, and I was able to set up parent controls on an xbox family app. I can limit his overall play time, his allowable am/pm start/stop hours, his ability to purchase, etc. It also lets your kid send a request for more time or to purchase something so that when you go to your notifications, you click once and it makes it happen. You dont have to go through a million screens trying to get it for your kid. My son loves that fortnite loads in a fraction of the time that it did on our PS4.

    Great upgrade from the Xbox One. Wayyy faster. Wayyy quieter. Most of my games are digital and game pass ultimate makes it when better with the cloud play. X one side around for the old backyard compatible discs.
