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.

    Series S is a great device for those looking to move to download only gaming. No disc drive, so no more scratched disc's.

    Excellent product. The gaming unit is easy to hook up, set up and use. We have multiple units and they are all compatible with all of the controls.

    Well worth the price point. Really fast load times, amazing upscaling at least on the few classics I've played and nice small footprint. Beast of a system for $300!

    If you don’t care about having a disc drive, buy it. It’s fast and can hold its own with graphics

    Great experience with online sales process. Best Buy is doing an admirable job keeping ‘resalers’ from snatching up every available Xbox. And friendly support during pick up.

    One of the best gaming options around!

    Absolutely amazing gaming machine! This is the best route to go with next-gen gaming, if you don't need to use older disks, Blu-ray movies, or don't have a fancy 120Hz 4K TV. My 65" 4k Samsung upscales practically everything - including my games that run at 1440p. I bought a 4TB expandable HDD and now have over 70 games installed, thanks to Game Pass Ultimate. I used to only play PlayStation, since PS1/PS2, but this is some next level stuff - for only $299. Now that Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, there's a lot more to look forward to. I may be getting a Series X, once I upgrade to a 120hz TV, especially if Microsoft offers a good trade-in option

      Hey Alex,

      We're happy to hear that you consider Xbox Series S to be a great option for next-gen gaming. Investing in an external hard drive is a great suggestion, especially if you have a large library of older Xbox games that aren't optimized for Xbox Series X/S. As you mention, there's a lot to look forward to with Xbox. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck
