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.

    Kids love it. Happy with the purchase. At first they were a little disappointed due to no disc place, then got used to the already downloaded version of the games.

    Good purchase for the not-so-serious gamer

    Full disclosure: I'm not a serious gamer. I picked this up on a whim (pandemic boredom). I also bought the Microsoft Game Pass. Set-up was pretty easy out the box. Only a few hiccups separating my work Microsoft account from my personal account. Took about an hour for all the updates to complete. Game pass has a nice selection of games. I like being able to play cloud based games. If you're a serious gamer, the storage will probably be an issue. Downloading a graphics heavy game like Forza takes a good chunk of the available memory. I have 5 or 6 games in my library now and I'm already 93% full. I recommend getting a charger/recharging station for the controllers. Replacing batteries gets old pretty fast. My only real gripe is that it was surprisingly difficult to set up our second controller so that my wife and I could play against each other. If you want to play against someone halfway across the world, no problem. Playing against someone sitting with you on your couch, on the other hand, is a lot more difficult. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

    This was difficult to get but Best Buy added the email verification which eliminated the bots! Well done and a great system! Got the no disc version for my two sons with the game pass, more than enough games for them.

    Xbox has come a long way! I got this as a gift for my partner last year and he still uses it every day. It makes streaming movies, watching tv, playing games, and other entertainment options a breeze.

    I got exactly what I wanted from Best Buy: an Xbox Series S, very quickly and easy. Pickup was hassle-free, and the console works spectacularly. I bought it to play Mortal Kombat 1, Starfield, and a few other games, and it does so flawlessly. My only "complaint" would be the storage space, but since that's on the product label, you know what you're getting into, and it can be easily fixed by buying an external hard drive.

    This is for my son. He loves that he doesn't need disks as he has a disability and it makes it easy for him to use himself. Great purchase.

    There's no power greater than X

    Remember those old Xbox commercials from shortly after the original console launched in 2001? Well, the Xbox Series S reaffirms that there really is no power greater than X. Sure, you're not getting an optical drive here, but that doesn't mean that this system isn't anything short of amazing. I've played games on here that I also have on PC and I kid you not, I can't tell the difference between the two versions. If PC gaming isn't your bag or if space is at a premium (or both), then definitely look into getting this beautiful system!
