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.

    Absolutely love my Series S. Got this because I couldn't find a Series X, and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely feels next gen compared to my One X. If you know what you are getting when you buy this it will exceed your expectations.

    Amazing! Would buy again! 10/10 recommend getting a storage drive to help add more space for games!

    This Xbox is amazing, it runs so smooth and fast! The video quality is also nothing short of amazing! I love it so much that I’m thinking of getting my wife one as well once it’s available again. I’ve looked everywhere and there’s no luck.

    Great little Xbox, good for computer monitor (up to 1440p) but don't expect 4k gaming. Quick resume, game boot up and start up are fast. If 4k and memory are a factor then step up and get the Series X.

    The XBox Series S is exactly what my 14 year old wanted. I did buy an external hard drive to store games, but probably won't need it. The Series X has 1 TB vs. 512 GB, and is designed for a 4K TV, but this is fine for my 7 year old Sony Bravia.

    Great affordable console! This is really a gamepass machine, it is well worth every cent of $300! It does 1080p 60hz on most but not all games! A huge upgrade from the xbox one s, not so much a big upgrade from xbox one x!

    Good system that's low priced without dealing with dvds. This feels more next level because you got access to your library of games instantly with a push of a button. As long as Microsoft supports the console, this is 5 stars.

    Great step up from a Xbox One S. Boot and load times are extremely fast, literally night and day from previous generation consoles. Highly recommend the series S if you can't get your hands on a series X.

    Best valued xbox in the new lineup. All the games work great and it upscaled 4k, which is as good as 4k in my eyes. The only thing of concern is the storage. If you plan to play 10+ games at a time a hard drive is suggested.

    Got this with game pass ultimate. Already have a PS5 and wanted a base Xbox to be able to play exclusives as well as their game pass catalogs. Incredibly nice, not near close to the ps5 or series x, but a great base next gen console.

    This is the Best Console you can Buy right now... Because its the only one in stock. If you can find a series X get that. but it you just want an upgraded performance this is smaller and way better than the xbox one x

    Truly was going for the Playstation 5 but i’m glad I went with this. The graphics are amazing!, with 4k display . Only con is it’s NO DISC which is not a con for me I don’t mind just downloading my games digitally . Xbox also has a GAME PASS SUBSCRIPTION that lets you down load quite the variety of games . Xbox is very quite makes no noise perfect for hours of gaming. I enjoy my purchase from best buy. 10/10 recommended
