    I placed the order and they had it ready that same day. I was not able to retrieve until a few days after. The retrieval went smoothly with no issues. The Series S runs flawlessly and you can notice the difference. I mainly play Apex and it is definitely more pristine and noticeable. It also runs at 60 FPS

    I'm adding the Xbox series s to my gaming collection. I have the series x on my living room TV but I needed a console for my bedroom. The series x was way to big to go on my bedroom wall next to my TV so I did the series s with a wall mount. It looks really dope and I only use it when I can't game in the living room.

    Purchased my xbox and it came way faster than i was expecting. Item was exactly as it was described. Please note that this model does not have the option for playing games on disc's. It is strictly digital. Can download the games via your xbox account. Perfect system for someone getting into gaming or as an extra gaming console.

    Have been enjoying playing the games that came with the free game pass. It is a nice console and the controller feels good. Nice graphics and a good deal. The console is discless which is a first for me but it has not giving me any issues. Have yet to really mess with it a whole lot but so Far it has been fun and a good purchase.

    Got this for my kiddo, they love it! We got the game pass to get access to the library and this thing is like a mini arcade now. So many games to choose from that are free and it fast, graphics are pretty good, the only draw back is the hard drive size, can burn through the drive pretty quickly.

    As someone planning to eventually get a PS5, but is still satisfied with their PS4, this is a very good purchase. I love being able to easily play and purchase games from previous generations. Sure, it doesn’t have 4K or as much processing power as the Series X or PS5, but I have no regrets. Xbox All Access makes this little next gen console worth every penny!

    Great Value

    Excellent value for the money. You can restrict the times in which your children can play as well as what age level for games they can download and play. My only gripe really is with that control not being so granular I can block specific applications and the size of the hard drive, but that's not a knock on Best Buy. With prices what they currently are for the PS5, X-Box Series X, and Nintendo Switch, this is an affordable alternative.

    Pretty good, compact and silent. I was mostly digital on my playstation 4 pro. Best next gen console, and I say that because it’s accessible unlike the ps5 and xbox series x. It opens your gaming world up to next gen and the best load times i have seen. Can’t complain, and it’s a budget console. I highly recommend this project

    It seems you are no longer able to use the kinect. I have tried 2 adapters so far. This forces you to use a phone to use for games like Just Dance. My sister-in-law has Down's Syndrome which makes this a very difficult thing for her to use. It asks every time you need to play to add a new controller (her phone) with the same pin. Why can't this be persistent?

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
