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 experience with online sales process. Best Buy is doing an admirable job keeping ‘resalers’ from snatching up every available Xbox. And friendly support during pick up.

    I was mainly a Nintendo/Xbox gamer growing up but last gen I switched to PS4; this gen I got both the PS5 and the Xbox Series S for game pass and it is an amazing little console

    Amazing Next Gen Console

    Most of us have been waiting for the next gen console to release and i am excited for the new Xbox Series S. Although i wasnt able to get the Series X, i am excited for the upcoming games like Halo, Call of Duty, Gears, NBA 2K, Cyber Punk. The new xbox design is pretty simple and basic. It doesn't look as impressive as the new PS5 but the hardware does get the job done. Graphics look amazing with 4K and you can use your old Xbox one controller. Overall, a great bang for your buck with the Series S if you are invested in digital content.

    Absolutely amazing gaming machine! This is the best route to go with next-gen gaming, if you don't need to use older disks, Blu-ray movies, or don't have a fancy 120Hz 4K TV. My 65" 4k Samsung upscales practically everything - including my games that run at 1440p. I bought a 4TB expandable HDD and now have over 70 games installed, thanks to Game Pass Ultimate. I used to only play PlayStation, since PS1/PS2, but this is some next level stuff - for only $299. Now that Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, there's a lot more to look forward to. I may be getting a Series X, once I upgrade to a 120hz TV, especially if Microsoft offers a good trade-in option

      Hey Alex,

      We're happy to hear that you consider Xbox Series S to be a great option for next-gen gaming. Investing in an external hard drive is a great suggestion, especially if you have a large library of older Xbox games that aren't optimized for Xbox Series X/S. As you mention, there's a lot to look forward to with Xbox. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    At first i thiught it wasnt going to be enough. But my son loves it and he was very impressed about hiw small this console is. Really fast and doesnt take a lot of room wherever you want to put it. I wasnt a fan of the white color since it usually turns to yellow over time but i also found out that I can buy a wrap for it and change that

    This beauty accelerated my transition to mostly digital/online gaming and it's been a beautiful experience, not just because I no longer have to deal with disc case clutter but also because the Series S is a true entertainment hub. Perhaps the thing I appreciate most about it is that it works with just about every streaming app out there from HBO Max to Showtime Anytime to even the Criterion Channel. It's tiny compared to most consoles nowadays and that only adds to its usefulness. My Series S, I feel, best represents the consolidation of entertainment in the console. A true one-stop shop for my entertainment.

    Coming from the one X, this definitely has more power. I just wish it had a disc port. Other than that, it’s great!
