Best console to buy if you’re on a budget. Only con is that it needs more storage atleast a 1tb.

Easy to play, easy to store. Love the all digital aspect of the system.

The series S is a great console for the price. I bought from Best Buy open box for under $200 and it looks and works as brand new. It’s a small console and looks very nice and subtle. Plays most games In 60fps.

I really wanted the series x but became impatient and these are a lot easier to get. I got the xbox, a lime green controller, and the game pass ultimate. A pro tip is to get the game pass from Microsoft for a dollar and then when you buy the series s, bundle the game pass ultimate for three more months for 33 dollars or so. Then you have six months of ultimate for about 35 dollars. The series S makes the pictures on my 4k tv look awesome. I already had an external hard drive from my original xbox one and I didn't have to transfer one thing. Setup was easy. Would highly recommend if you are willing to buy the game pass because that is the cheapest way to own this system. For reference, I am a casual gamer, don't play much and watch a lot of movies on my consoles. Hope this helps.

Faster load times. Will not be disappointed. Will need to purchase expansion memory.

This is a great little system, perfect for a 2nd room, or if you tend to move systems around a lot (I do) I already have a Series X hooked up to the 4K, I bought this for the portability and to use on smaller screens. I love it! I actually used it more than the X, since the X is on the family TV. It compares well to the X. If you look at the games side by side you will notice a difference, but in general the games look and play great. It's snappy and quiet, the only downside is the small amount of storage, but that's easily rectified by using a cheap HDD and shuffling games around. Unfortunately I had to return it because the fan started squeaking, and of course there was no replacement available for exchange. I'm definitely buying another one whenever Best Buy gets them back in stock!

Excelent gaming system, easy to set up and use, can be used at any age

This was the first console I ever bought I still have it till this day 02/27/25 I would probably upgrade to series X just for gta 6 when it finally comes out

Pick this up if you dont want to throw down too much money. Paired with xbox live service and you’ll have a great gaming console ready to boot up and play

Still have to this day, no regrets on purchasing this item.

Love The Best game sytem by far. Have had them all.

I really enjoy my Xbox I’ve purchase many items form Best Buy over the years and even had to get things fix this is a great purchase

Everything I wanted out of a gaming console. Could use more storage though.

It really is a blast. Really the only thing that sucks is the storage but thats what you expect when buying it. I bought this with the external storage and it is perfect. Handles all the games i throw at it. I play online a bunch with my friends, PUBG is a big one. Console has no problem with games online, runs very quiet which i love. I do love the game pass but i mainly buy games from the store. Ive been a xbox gamer since day one and this little wonder is amazing. I opted for this one since the tower was still back ordered. I do recommend getting this especially for the price. Just be prepared to get extra storage devices then your golden.

budget friendly and quality console love it!! was thinking to get a series X first but then decided to get this S console instead - totally worth the money + I didnt have to wait too long since it was widely available.

This is the last Xbox that I got haven’t switched it over 3 to 4 years now. And I see no reason to change anytime soon still works like new and it’s super fast with the Internet and the multiplayer capabilities as well

Best bang for your buck game machine. Best to get an external drive for storing games. $219 is too much for the Xbox expansion card, especially being only 1 TB. Looks good on my 4k Tv. Lots of good games on Game Pass.

Amazing machine for a great price comparatively to the other consoles available. I would recommend this to anyone who is into gaming or looking to get back in after a break. The employees were very helpful and friendly in recommending this console and couldn’t be more happy with my purchase!

Fast, compact next-gen gaming if you don't need 4k The X-Box Series S is a slick, fast little machine that is a great entry point for next-gen gaming. If you pair it with Microsoft Game Pass you won't even need to buy any games to get started - or - EVER really. It's not for everybody and hardcore gamers will want to wait for either an Xbox Series X or a PS5. WHO THIS IS FOR - * People who want to get in on next gen gaming without breaking the bank. * PS5 owners who want to play Microsoft exclusives or have access to Microsoft game pass. It's a perfect "game pass machine." * People who don't own or don't really care to own, a 4k UHD TV. * People who don't put a priority on having top of the line performance - i.e. non-competitive gamers, kids, etc. * People who don't need physical media for games / entertainment. WHO THIS IS NOT FOR - * Hard core gamers who want to take advantage of all the bells and whistles that the most powerful next-gen consoles have to offer (i.e. Series X & PS5) * People who want to game in full 4k @ 120 hz / 120 fps. The Series S maxes out at 1440p. * People with a large library of Xbox / 360 / Xbox One physical games and / or DVDs. The Series S is digital only. The jury is still out on how future proof the Series S will be once developers start really taking advantage of the Series X's horsepower. But for now, and honestly - I upgraded to a Series X - the differences are negligible.

Bought this Xbox about a month ago and been playing hardcore games and doesnt even heat up at all
