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.

    My husband purchased this for a friend since he has helped us a lot and he loved it! It's not the newest version, but he only needs it for one thing and that is COD so it gets the job done.

    I couldn’t believe I managed to snag this. So excited. Works amazing. You do have to keep in mind you may need an external hard drive as there is no disc drive so you will need space to store your digital games. Otherwise for the price it’s a great deal.

    My mom-in-law purchased this as a gift for our Princess’ 15th birthday. She says it’s fast and easy to use and doesn’t wish to share it with her much younger siblings; yet. A 2nd console is still up for debate.

    Never thought I’d be ok with a disc-less gaming console but it’s perfect! Small size fits perfect in where I put it, easy to use and has great quality.

    Really wanted a Series X but had to settle for the S and I am not disappointed. Games load within 8-20 seconds, The frame rate is immaculate. It's so small yet so powerful. Would recommend buying if you can't afford or simply just can't get a Series X.

    When Best Buy’s online site viewed “only 1 left!” I drove 2 and a half hours to receive a very fast and friendly in-out experience. Upon receiving this Xbox I literally creamed my pants. I had to to the restroom out of excitement. The Xbox is my dream come true. Thank you, Best Buy

    I’m enjoying my Xbox. Being able to go back and play games I never got the chance to play, such as Gears of War. It’s been an enjoyable experience.

    Fits great on my son's desk. It's quiet but smooth. Great for 1080p or 1440p resolutions. Awesome deal for the technology you get with this machine. I would recommend getting the expansion card that is made for the new Xbox's, if you're planning on downloading a lot of games.

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. I really didn't think I was gonna be able to find one in time but I'm grateful that best buy put protocols in place to make it harder for bots to grab them all before anyone else had a chance. My husband loves it and has no complaints so far.

    Very fast loading times and great features for the price. Only issue is the limited storage which can be remedied with an external hard drive. You won’t get the loading speed if you use games on the external drive, but just switch games between it and the ssd and you’ll be fine.

    In Stock, crazy fast shipping, it is a Christmas present so it has not been opened or used yet so i can only comment on the shopping experience. I had not realized Best Buy was so easy to shop on with fast shipping. I will shop online with them again.

    Excellent machine for $299. It’s small and quiet. Switched from PS4 and it’s night and day from graphics and speed. The controller is much better and gamepass has a lot of great titles. I would recommend an external drive for extra storage until the expansion card comes down in price.

    First Xbox ever and it works great. Getting in and out of games is fast and the controller is excellent. The user interface is a bit tricky to navigate, especially compared to Nintendo and PlayStation. Overall it is solid for gaming and I would definitely recommend picking one up.
