Customers love the Xbox Series S for its affordable price, impressive performance, and ease of use. Many appreciate the compact size and the inclusion of Game Pass, although some find the storage capacity limiting and the lack of a disc drive inconvenient. Positive feedback frequently highlights the console's smooth graphics and quick setup. A few users mentioned occasional overheating and short controller battery life as minor drawbacks.

    It's small, quiet, fast, and looks great at 1440p. I'm really enjoying my Series S. I picked this up for $250 which is an awesome deal (console + controller + 3 months game pass ultimate!). I have it hooked up to a 1440p monitor which I think is the ideal setup for this console.

The console's high frame rates and quick loading times enhance gameplay, while its affordability makes it an attractive option for budget-conscious gamers. The inclusion of Xbox Game Pass adds significant value, providing access to a vast library of games. However, the storage capacity may be limiting for those with extensive game collections.

    If you don't care about having physical media, you don't care about having the most powerful system, and have embraced the digital age, then this is SUPERB. We bought this for the spare room and it's a lovely deal. It's tiny, quiet and plays all the games on gamepass. You can purchase games too so they don't leave your library as gamepass cycles through, but even just with gamepass it's superb value. Only thing is, at some point if you haven't downloaded or bought any games on the system itself, the console may be just about useless as the next gen starts ramping up in a few years. Oh, and the storage is as tiny as the console, you will run out of space fast

    The Xbox Series S is a compact and affordable console that offers a smooth gaming experience with a huge library of titles. It can run games at up to 120 fps and supports ray tracing, fast loading times, and quick resume. However, it also has some limitations, such as a lower resolution of 1080p to 1440p, a small storage space of 512 GB, and no disc drive. If you are looking for a powerful and future-proof device, you might want to consider the Xbox Series X instead. But if you are happy with digital-only games and don't mind sacrificing some graphical fidelity, the Xbox Series S is a great option for casual gamers and Xbox Game Pass subscribers.

    The Xbox Series S is an impressive next-gen console that offers fantastic value for gamers looking to enjoy high-quality gaming without the hefty price tag. From the moment I unboxed it, I appreciated its compact design, which easily fits into my entertainment setup while still looking sleek and modern. Performance-wise, the Series S exceeds expectations. Load times are drastically reduced, thanks to the fast SSD, allowing me to jump into games almost instantly. The graphics are stunning, with vibrant visuals and smooth frame rates, making even the most demanding titles look fantastic. The Game Pass subscription service is a game-changer, providing access to a vast library of games for a reasonable monthly fee. This feature has allowed me to explore new titles and enjoy some classics without the need for multiple purchases. The controller is also a highlight, featuring a comfortable design and improved haptic feedback that enhances immersion during gameplay. Whether I'm playing solo or with friends, the experience is always engaging. Overall, the Xbox Series S is a superb console that delivers powerful performance, an extensive game library, and an enjoyable gaming experience. It’s an ideal choice for both new gamers and those looking to upgrade without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

    Love that the Xbox s is smaller it gets less hot and runs smoothly. Was able to find one at your store very easily when not on the floor. Staff was friendly and I was in and out with my treasures. Very pleasant experience. Console itself is less laggy then the one I had before and overall have had a very pleasant experience and do not regret buying.

    Very good, very cheap for the power you get and very small and portable. No disc drive is a bummer, if you can fork over the extra hundred or dollars or so for the bigger version with a disc drive I would do so. But other than that pretty good for cheap

    I really like this console, it's easy to setup, if you get the game pass you can get multiple games for just $15 a month. If your on a budget and can't get the X I would strongly recommend this console.

    This thing blows my mind. The size to performance ratio is off the charts. And if you connect mouse and keyboard, you essentially have a desktop computer when using the built in browser. My brother does his homework ON HIS XBOX. What a world.

    Bought this on Black Friday and it didn’t disappoint, can run almost every game at 120 fps. Very sleek design for my room. Only reason I’m not giving this a 5 star is because the controller it comes with uses 2 AA batteries (included) that die within a week with no rechargeable dock.

    Perfect Xbox for online gaming! The compact machine is ideal for any room of the house. The controller of phenomenal and it being rechargeable is a huge bonus that all gamers will enjoy. My favorite part was the game pass being able to download games and everything saved to the cloud but also the option to save locally on the system itself.

    First off I will give a shoutout to the local BestBuy at Fashion Center in Paramus. Store is really helpful in finding this new bundle, they went down to the sku's like true professionals and got the job done. Appreciate all you. Second, This bundle was worth the $300 I paid though I'm sure it'll be on sale around Christmas time. 3 Months of GamePass is approx $40 on sale. It comes installed on the system, it asks you to claim it when you startup your system. Comes with controller, hdmi and power cables. Third, Make sure to buy the 1TB Expansion Memory when on sale because it really helps with big titles such as Call of Duty, NBA 2K, etc. Good System, 2K 30fps, 1080p 60fps and sometimes 120FPS on a Dynamic 1080p res. Enjoy.

    The console is really fast and has amazing graphics that work in every game. Also, the ultimate game pass allows you to discover an amazing variety of games. The pass included is a really awesome deal since you can test out some games before you decide to buy them permanently. This bundle is worth all the money!

    Great fun awesome system! I haven’t owned a game system for several years but this one has been great. I like the affordable price and for my needs this is perfect. I only plan to and have used it solely for racing style games. Graphics are awesome and the best part is being able to play with your buddy’s online!
