Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought two of these for Christmas presents. One for a 15 year old and one for a 7 year old. Both of them love it and the set up was super easy.

Awesome console to complement a series X or if you have a 1080p tv. In my case.. It functions as a second console on my 1080p tv.. so it’s great! And incredible that you can get the series s at this price point!

I am writing this review after 5 months of use and I can say that the series s has surprised me in every way. The series s is a great deal for those who can't afford the series x. The graphics it delivered are way better than I ever expected for the price. I mainly play multiplayer games like Apex Legends and Warzone and I can say that the graphics are beautiful and the frames are stable. I also played some games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and was amazed by the visuals. Overall if you can't afford the series x this is a great console for the price especially for playing multiplayer games. Though if you play mostly single-player games I would highly suggest getting the series x as it's way better for most games out there.

great buy and very light and easy to fit anywhere on your tv stand

the console came with original packaging and everything. the controller and xbox both looked (smelled) and felt new. i will say that the 512gb is very low considering you really only get around 350gb because the system software takes up a ton of space. but besides that it runs perfect and i have had no problem with it. i would recommend buying open box.

This system is amazing especially for the price. After getting my disc PS5 I sold my Xbox Series X to get this. For the Series S I know it's not the most powerful but I am not complaining alpng with my PS5!

Great for anyone with Xbox GamePass! Highly portable. The black one coming out in September will have 1TB of storage onboard, but this one is upgradeable if you want to buy expansion cards. A good bargain! I play it every day!

Got this as a secondary console to my Series X so that I could play my games and stream my movies on another tv in the house. I did not expect to love this system so much. It is very small and sleek so it fits well in any entertainment system. Also Xbox’s instant cloud saves makes going back in forth between systems. Also performance wise it is very sleek and fast. And while Series X is a higher powered unit this definitely holds its own. The biggest drawback is the internal storage, but that is something you can upgrade when you’re ready.

Excellent system that almost runs as smooth my ps5. My kids love it, and it was totally worth the price.

Good console very reliable and I’ve had allot of fun on this thing

I'm not a Microsoft fan AT ALL.. My 360 was so unreliable had to send it in for repairs 8 times. So was very reluctant, but this has been a good experience, even with the tiny HD it's got more than enough room for a wealth of games. OS isn't as nice as a PS5 but it's doable, controllers suck because of needing batteries, but are comfortable. I feel like the visuals on the playstation are brighter more defned, xbox seems darker and bluish regardless of the TV settings -- not entirely sure. Perfect game system for a tween/teen and not a $500 investment. A good buy, reliability wise we shall see.

Great System, if you don’t feel like going all in for a Series X this will do the trick. Don’t have any issues.

I am very impressed with the series S. I was able to use the 1440p at 120hz playing on a monitor with free sync. I was impressed with the SSD load times playing multiple games after each other. I thought the 512GB wouldn’t be enough but I only play 2-3 games at a time so I had lots of room. The only game that takes a lot of space is COD (100+GB) other than that most games are only 50GB or less. So there was a lot of room. Now if you plan to have more games you can always buy the expansion SSD that’s made for both series X/S. It’s a little pricey at around $220 for 1TB. Also the 4K on the series X would be the only other difference on the graphics. Oh yeah this console is small like tiny compared to the series X and smaller than the Xbox one X/S. I say it’s a get value for $300.

I use this on a 50 inch 4k 60Hz television, and I upgraded from the original Xbox One. I also have an external SSD that I have a bunch of Xbox One games on. Visually, the higher framerate on the games is noticeable. I also really like the physical design of the system. Two of the main things I have liked so far are the very quick load times, and the quick resume feature. It makes it very difficult to think of going back to the original Xbox One. If I had a larger television with 120Hz refresh rate, I'd probably go for the Series X (though they are still hard to buy at retail). I'm happy with it, and I don't think you can go wrong for the price. The Series X or the standard PS 5 would also be great values at their retail price.

I love my xbox! The price was right and it is definitely an upgrade over the last gen.

Great I love ny xbox. Had it since November of last year and it i still love it. Never had anything wrong with it so far.

After getting back into gaming after 10 years my experience setting this up and using it daily was such a breath of fresh air and so easy to do!

Console is good and I have not had any problems with it, DO NO DO USE THE CITIZEN'S ONE FINANCING OPTION. As far as I can tell so far it is just a run around making you call in each month to get a new code for Xbox Game Pass. You are better off to either buy the console by itself. Or just keep calling to get codes everyday until you have a years worth of codes.

Lucked out finding this at the local BB; intent is ultimately to use this system as a placeholder until the Series X becomes more readily available due to its increased power, optical drive and increased storage. As it stands, this is a dandy little system, even smaller than my Xbox One S. Already had Gamepass Ultimate so I transferred a few titles onto the (tiny) 364-gb SSD and fired them up after installing the 4K texture packs that Xbox recommends - didn't increase the size nearly as bad as I'd feared. Titles like Outriders and POE2 loaded insanely fast, markedly improved from even the portable SSD I was using to launch them on the One S! The improved frame rates and textures were a vast improvement and I'll never go back! All of it really whets my appetite to see what the Xbox Series X is capable of with three times the processing power, but again, as a holdover this system is perfectly adequate. Careful swapping around of titles due to the limited storage will allow for optimal play conditions at all times - and if you're like me and have a substantial disc-based collection of title, you'll need the Series X to take advantage of them as well. But for what it does, this system is quite an improvement over even the One X and really shows what gaming will look like in the near future!

The 4k graphics are exactly as great as they advertise!! I have been a PS user since the original, owned the 2 and the slim version, both the original and backwards compatible 3, original 4 and 4Pro. I absolutely got rid of everything PlayStation simply because of Sony Customer "Care" (They could caaare less about you). I bought the S for many reasons and have been impressed with everything. Expected pretty standard stuff, and was wrong on every occasion. Not personally a fan of white because if it isn't pristine, it's dirty, in my eyes. Ease of access is above expectation. It's absolutely silent even after hours of fast paced, intensive gameplay. No heat off the console at all. Setup and personal setting adjustments were far more simple than I had anticipated. 2FA is seamless. I even had a blast just setting up my friggin avatar!! The ONLY reason this did not get a perfect score is because..... 512gb isn't enough. Without the expansion card, you are really left with only keeping a couple games on the console. So pick your favorites to keep on it or you'll find yourself uninstalling games to have enough space to download and install the next game you want to play. I should have been more patient and waited to get the 2TB version of the console. If you're impatient like I was, get this with the expansion card :)
