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.

    my husband finally decided to update his Xbox since so many games are released for x and s. it's so much smaller than his previous Xbox. It's weird not seeing a disc reader.

    I bought this as a replacement for my fiancés old Xbox! He really likes the improved speed and different gaming options. One thing we noticed very quickly though is the limited amount of storage available. We will have to buy additional storage for him to have all his games. But other than that, we are happy with the purchase!

    Great console. Excellent for someone who is not a full-time gamer but still wants a next gen system. Lack of disc support is not a big deal, since everything can now be downloaded directly.

    i love it! i love how small it is, i can connect it to my monitor or the living room tv without a hassle. fast downloads. silent weapon forsure, doesn’t sound like the ps4’s jet engine. the graphics are amazing! not 4k but still HD. i’d definitely purchase again- maybe to keep one at the girlfriends house. 5stars!

    Thanks Best Buy for making purchasing my next gen console an experience I will never forget. I had so much fun purchasing and picking up my XBox Series S from your store. Your staff was very pleasant and pick up was also super fast. Thanks to your staff my son will love his new XBox Series S for the holidays he has worked very hard for it.

    Purchased series S for my kids and they love it. It also makes a nice compact next gen system to take with you when traveling. My main consoles now are Series X and PS5 digital but for the price its a must for anyone looking to get into next gen. Hard drive space is limited so would need to do a lot of transferring or pick up expansion card.

    Excellent system, great graphics, and offers an extensive library. Love that this system does not require the discs that tend to get scratched fairly easily. The online play is a so much fun.
