Customers are saying

Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point. Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    Great gaming console with an even greater price. For $300 you get a lot of gaming power and the Xbox still comes with the best controller ever made. Pair it up with an hard drive expansion and you are good to go!

    I purchased this for my girlfriend's son who is 16. I have not seen him so excited about a gift since he was a young child. So far there haven't been any issues with the system. I was so glad we were able to get it before Christmas.

    My next purchase after a switch gave me the gaming bug again. Last xbox i owned was a 360 and this is quite the upgrade. I know M$ was aoming for a price point but the only 512GB (like 384 usable) is not enough for an all digital device. That being said, unless u have a newer 4k 120hz tv, this is plenty of console and likely easier to get than the series x.

    This review is only after the reveal of the new black xbox series s, which will have a better storage capacity (1TB compared to ~300GB) than the original. It is still a good buy if youre not planning on playing a lot of games, but if you are save for the black S.

    I can't say enough good things about this Xbox Series S. Great console that was definitely not on my radar but I took a chance on it and it delivered. Yes, it doesn't go to 4K, but that doesn't stop it from being great.

    Somewhat easy to setup for parents who don't play the game. The price seems reasonable and being all digital is a plus to me. The system is super light weight which is great for my kids who will have to take between houses.

    This was a fantastic purchase! My son is able to play with multiple people and friends. He says that he enjoys playing it rather than his PC.

    The Xbox Series S is worth all digital investment

    I had gone with the Xbox Series X back from begining of this year but unable to acquire the extra warranty and protection. So, i had sold it off for my living conditions ans downgraded to the Xbox Series S instead and happy i went this way. I don't have no space for physical media anymore as it's time consuming and regardless, i gotta download the game as the physical discs are placeholders nonetheless. So why waste $500 for an big box without no warranty. When i switched to Xbox Series S with the Best Buy Total Tech is worth protection of my investments into Microsoft. I'm an very satisfied customer

    Great little console. Even when playing on 4k/60hz TV, it looks great while sitting on the couch. I play few hours every week and so far it is excellent. It is wiser quite. Only negative is small storage.
