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.

    Great next gen console for a low price. Unless you’re needing the ability to play in 4k or the storage this is definitely worth every penny. Haven’t had any problems so far and am loving my purchase!

    Amazing value for a 'budget system". Games load fast and look great at 1440p. I am mainly a PlayStation user but this console is perfect for when I feel like downloading Xbox games and more on gamepass!

    Best next-gen console for the price! At half the price of the Series X, and the PS5, this is a great entry into the next generation of gaming. Although it doesn't have a disc drive, I have plenty of digital games to play on it. It is pretty light on the storage though only clocking in at 364 GB of internal memory to use, but there are options to upgrade memory; whether through external storage, or an internal memory card (which can be a bit pricey). Coming from someone who owns a PS5, the Xbox Series S is no slouch.

    This console is FAST! My son got this for his birthday 5 months ago and uses it almost daily, he is always raving about how fast he is able to load up and massive updates only taking a fraction of the time compared to his old console.

    Runs fast, and hasn't given any issues with installation. No Disc Drive obviously, but you get use to just downloading games. I do recommend getting the additional hard drive for more game storage.

    The greatest purchase from best buy yet. I love how the only real sacrifice made is the resolution. Great value and looks amazing on my 4k tv even if its a lower resolution.

    Great powerful console.The small size allows to fit it anywhere, and it runs so great.There are practically no loading times. It is a great machine to take advantage of an xbox gamepass subscription .

    Glad Best Buy was able to offer me the opportunity to purchase this. It’s worth. 299 it’s a great value but is definitely not a great as the series x for me because there’s no disc drive unfortunately.

    I sold it and got a Series X, this is great as a Gamepass machine. If you already have a huge physical library this is not for you. I have a large physical library that I like to go back to. I did love the Series S, but it wasn’t for me.

    A perfect choice for those who don't need physical copies of games. Graphics and speed are great. Recommend you purchase an external hard drive, though because of the smaller SSD.

    I bought the new X-box just to get the Hogwarts game in advance. It’s nice I mean I feel like my old X-box (Taco Bell special edition) offers the same things don’t feel any difference. Wish it had more memory as it can only handle 3-4 games at a time with the memory it brings.

    This console is able to play all the same games as the Series X, just at a lower framerate and/or resolution. The only thing that I didn't like is the internal storage is only 500GB and only about 350 is usable... for an all digital console, it really needed to have 1TB of storage.

    Xbox Series S

    This Xbox Series S is digital only. I returned this as my grandsons wanted the Xbox X series so they could use the Xbox one game discs they already have. With the Series S you have to buy your games digitally or pay $14.99 monthly or quarterly for $44.99 to get Xbox game pass which gives you access to all of the Xbox games. It gives you immediate access to any newly published games but at ongoing cost.
