Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am surprised how amazing this little guy performs. The nvme ssd is super fast and the difference in performance with it's bigger brother is minimal. (Series X) The 512 GB hard drive can be a little small but other than that I think this is a great value for your money.

You get all the new gen experiences with this console and compared to the other oes itspretty cheap the only thing is that storage its not enough especially if you play heavy games like COD or 2K but other than that 10/10

Great product for your buck. However I will encourage on purchasing the 1tb sea gate drive. As this console will only give you around 360 something SSD storage space (to use). Love the load times (just as fast as the series x) quick resume is slightly faster on this console vs the series x but we talking milliseconds. Graphics are great however because of the gpu power is a 3rd of the se series x power you can see some choppiness. “Things in the far will load”

The Xbox Series S may be the budget-friendly option, but it certainly doesn’t compromise on quality. It’s a powerhouse for its size, delivering next-gen performance without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a dedicated enthusiast, the Xbox Series S is a fantastic choice that exceeds expectations. In conclusion, the Xbox Series S has redefined my gaming experience. Its powerful performance, sleek design, and extensive game library make it a top-tier console in its class. I wholeheartedly recommend the Xbox Series S to anyone looking for a high-quality gaming console without the premium price tag.

Broke down and bought next-gen junior after a solid year of trying and failing to get a Series X. The drive is small, so the extra storage upgrade is probably a must if this is your main console. The load times are reduced dramatically, and games look and play great.

Superior gaming system for someone that likes to play only occasionally and when they have the time and on a budget. Graphics are better than most consoles (my PS4) and the price point makes it worth it (less than the Series X and the graphics are just as good). You get to play just about all the games in the Xbox library for a small monthly fee just like the Series X. I upgraded the memory storage to have plenty of space on the limited internal hard drive by buying a WD Black 5TB external HD from BB that was on sale so I have no trouble downloading large memory games. I was thinking of upgrading from my PS4 to the PS5 but for the price and availability the S is the better system for me. I had to get in on the early demand for the holidays too so I bought one right away.

Thanks to Best Buy I was able to grab two of these little titans for my kids NOT to scalp real gamers. I also got myself the Series X from Best Buy of course and I must say this disc-free console is amazing. I should have gone with the Gamepass bundle so save $15 because that will get you the most out of this console. It comes packed with such care and quality materials that unboxing it alone was a far better experience than the Playstation 5 I finally got 4 months after launch but thanks again to bestbuy.com. The HDMI and controller are every bit of what you get with the Series X so there is nothing left desired except the storage but it is manageable and expandable. Unless you have an 8K TV and even then I believe this console came to play and makes no apologies. At this price point pick one up and have a blast while you wait to get that PS5 but certainly don't give in to the scalpers because NONE of the systems are worth more than retail and Best Buy is the place to get all of them.

The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the storage. Its a great console in every way. Beautiful graphics. Incredible load times. Consistently Smooth gameplay. However a storage of 364 gb is nowhere near enough. A game like call of duty takes up nearly half of that by itself. At most youre gonna have about 5 or 6 games and constantly will be uninstalling games to make room. If you can afford the 1 tb expansion or just dont need alot of storage its definitely worth every cent.

I really like this system. I love the size and sleek design. It is so much smaller than the PS5 and just as powerful. I don’t buy disc games anymore so it is perfect for me. It is also affordable and is easy to find. I definitely recommend the XBOX Series S to all games both hardcore and casual!

I bought this console for its small form factor and price tag. One thing reviewers have not touched on is the portability of the console. Fit snuggly in my backpack as I travelled for 40 hours+. With the absurd prices PC gaming costs, this is probably your best bet for cheap, 2k gaming.

Seamless design, excellent quality, fast. This is my first one and I'm very happy with it's performance so far.

I like it but prefer the X as the images are crisper and it loads a bit quicker. This one is not that far off, I use this at work and the X at home. I love the compact design and the fact it was available at a time when i couldn't get the X or PS5. The storage isn't a huge issue for me but of course more is always better.

Microsoft knocked it out of the park with both the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S! I would recommend either of them, the graphics are amazing, the load times even more amazing, and they're both compact enough to not take up huge amounts of room, like their counterpart PS5...

Great purchase. Awesome graphics and modern design. Came with free month of FuboTV, and a controller. The console is so fast and sleek and easy to use. Highly recommend.

Awesome next gen console in a small package. I picked this one up to install in my family room for quick gaming sessions. It’s super fast, has amazing graphics, and is super silent. Can’t go wrong with this one if you don’t need a disc drive.

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.

Love the conslole it’s fast. Storage it a bit of an issue as you can really only use about 300 of the 500 gigabytes in the console, but that can be solved with a storage expansion and I don’t just mean the expensive sea gate drive. Regular hard drives work as long as they are at least USB 3.0. Additionally it seems to get very hot so maybe there is an issue with ventilation or maybe I don’t have it set up right. Other than those things it’s a great buy.

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.

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.

Amazing graphics and realism. Great gaming system for the price. The restriction of not having a drive limits the ability to take advantage of sales on physical games, but other than that, nothing negative to say. I've been really enjoying Flight Simulator on this device, and it looks wonderful! One other negative is that I have never used X-Box before, so I'm having some trouble getting used to how to navigate. More instructions would be helpful.
