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.

    A solid new generation console... as long as you don't want to use a disc or game in 4k. The Xbox One X may be a slightly better buy at this price range though.

    I've been using this as a second xbox that's connected to my monitor of my work desk. I use a Mac for work but when I want to take a break, I switch my display to the xbox and I can game immediately. It's small, unobtrusive and serves as my primary gaming device when I'm playing games solo. I have a separate Xbox Series X in my family room attached to the TV which serves as my primary party/media consumption device. Only thing to note is that you can't be logged into xbox live with the same account on both devices at the same time. It will log you out of the other device.

    This product works great. It is good to use for the price. If you play a lot of game especially large files you will need a lot more storage.

    Great backup to my ps5, I only play halo and sports titles but it does what I need it to as far as streaming movies and shows! Ps5 is miles better than this specific version of the Xbox but I get plenty of use out of it. Would highly recommend as a great budget console if you mainly play sports games. Biggest negative is lack of any first party games that are any good…

    I have been away from Xbox for 15 years having only ever owned the original Xbox. I was lucky enough to hit bestbuy.com on a day when the console was available locally and I snagged it! Connected and optimized the Series S to a 4K HDR TV and the console loads quickly and looks and plays beautifully! Game Pass is the way to go on this all digital device with the Seagate external hard drive, but looking forward to purchasing some digital games in due time. Thanks to the Mechanicsburg, PA Best Buy staff for all of their assistance with everything related to this purchase!
