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.

    Awesome machine, the only problem I have with the new series s/x is the game storage. For the series s the storage is nothing. They are kinda forcing you to get the 200 dollar ssd storage expansion. The machine runs nicely and smoothly and if it weren’t for the storage I would give this a 5 star. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE, GAMES WONT WORK UNLESS ITS MOVED INTO THE XBOX SERIES S’ STORAGE.

    Everything works perfectly - condition was exactly as described on bestbuy.com so no surprises or issues there. My order was prepared extremely fast and was able to provide this gift on time for a birthday.

    Purchased for a Christmas gift for my grandson. He was very excited to receive it as supply was very limited. The order process was very smooth and the item was ready for pickup at our local Best Buy a day earlier than expected. Overall, a great experience.

    Love, love, love this machine. This is my first xbox console and just wow. Lightening fast, super quiet, a complete and total monster. Get the gamepass with it, at least at the start. Totally a no brainer.

    One of the 3 “Next Gen” consoles. A great little console for the little ones to have instead of spending the extra money on bells and whistles kids don’t pay attention to. Bought for my son and he loves it. With console home sharing, he has everything he needs.

    I was one of the lucky one to get this before Christmas. I enjoyed this very much faster then my old Xbox. As it didn’t have a cddrive I had to down Load all my games again. Took several days on my internet. I have also already upgraded the ram to 1 TB. It was full after only 4 games. That,s the only real thing I dined like about the machine. The games seen to run and load really fast. A cd drive would have really nice to have on this machine

    Decided to upgrade to a new Xbox after having the OG One for five years. Had hoped to pick up a Series X, but figured a digital only box would work. Speed is fast and graphics look good. Enjoying the next gen features.

    Bought this just because they were in stock. As far as graphics, it's not a noticeable difference from the one x on my my 4k TV. I'm sure you could tell a big difference on a monitor with higher framerate. The most noticeable difference is the load times for games and things just seem "more responsive". It's a good price to add to another room as I just added it to my living room and will wait to get the series x for my game room.

    At the heart of Series X is the Xbox Velocity Architecture, which pairs a custom SSD with integrated software for faster, streamlined gameplay with significantly reduced load times. Seamlessly move between multiple games in a flash with Quick Resume.

    I can understand some ppl wanting the X, but it never crossed my mind and I’ve loved every second with the S. Impressed so far but that said I haven’t been stressing it out or anything, only casually playing as I’ll continue to do lol.

    I'm a PS fan, but. I'm loving this Xbox Series-S. Graphics look super good. Everything moves fast including the menu, loading times. The controller responds very quickly to input, zero lag. It's definitely better than my ps4 pro. My expectations were exceeded!
