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.

    I bought this xbox about 1 year ago. It has very good price because if you wanna buy an xbox series x you have to pay about $500 for more 500gb space, but I bought a 1Tb hard drive. It was more cheaper for me.

    I've never owned an Xbox in my life. I always used PlayStation or PC. But I recently started using gamepass on my PC and the games list is phenomenal. While the series x definitely has more power, the series S is more financially viable for people who want to play premium games on a budget.

    You know what they say...happy son happy life. Our previous gen Xbox broke it was 2 years out of warranty so fixing it was not an option. So happy the old one broke because the new GEN is so much better. Graphics are out of this world. Processor is so much quicker. LUV IT.

    A good upgrade from the xbox1. Good price range. Looks sleek, takes up less space, runs smoother! No loud sounds. Has a on/off button that helps from the older version that even the SLIGHTEST touch it would turn off/on. A gift to my husband, he loves it! Was so excited to see it.

    I personally don't play video games but my grandsons sure do and the look on his face was priceless when he opened it up on Christmas eve. Price was in the general range across the but they don't offer the warranty and geek squad when you purchase from Best Buy.

    Purchased as a gift as an upgrade from an Xbox One to the Xbox Series S. The load times are so much faster and getting to play in 60fps is an adjustment, but it’s well worth it. Only complaint might be that the controller eats batteries, and I’d recommend getting a rechargeable battery if you play a lot.

    I love my new Xbox!!! This thing runs soooooo smoothly. Just as a reference, I used to game on a gaming PC with an RTX 2060 SUPER to mainly play Fortnite but honestly I do not really see a difference as far as a gaming experience. That tells you something. It's super quiet and overall an amazing machine!

    I bought this for my son right after christmas so it was almost impossible to find, I couldn't pick it up till after New Years ,but he loves it and is very happy with it. Me personally, I have a very strong PC , so there is no comparison. Its very easy to setup and update, and that's all you need to do.

    Although this isn't the Xbox Series X, this is more than enough for most casual gamers. It's a steal at $299.99

    Great system, I wish Best Buy’s return policy was better, ended up getting water damage and I have missed it ever since. They were not interested in letting me return it even with a warranty!!

    Love how small the console is but dont let its size deceive you. Theres a whole lot of power packed in this little console. Looks stylish, controller has a nice feel to it, games load quick, just what I was looking for.

    Bought for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. I wasn’t sure since it was the Xbox that you used without disks but it’s much more convenient.

    The small form factor of the console itself makes it a great console to travel with. Nothing wrong with digital only consoles. When you scratch your discs, you have to buy another. You can’t scratch digital games and they are there wherever you can connect to the internet to download anytime.

    After 3 days of use, I turn it on and there’s no signal, called Microsoft and went through troubleshooting.. nothing worked, have to send it back and wait for them to ship a new one. I expected some faulty consoles, just didn’t think I would pull the short straw :,/ from what I was able to play though, Assassins Creed Valhalla looked very sharp on my 1080p tv and the performance was how you would expect! Overall I think the console is worth $299 if you are going to use it for 1080p-1440p gaming with 60hz refresh rate!

    If you are new to the Xbox portfolio or an existing user, the Series S works out very well for an additional console. We have a Series X for the main TV and started adding Series S consoles for secondary TVs. Plenty fast, smaller than the older Xbox one S, and faster by a wide margin,
