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.

    I just recently got back into gaming and decided to go with this. It works excellent and has no lag with my setup.

    The best Xbox option. The value is unmatched and games look good even on a 4k display. With AMD FSR coming to games this will be the BEST purchase for next gen Xbox titles.

    Love it, great for gaming and is a huge improvement over the OG Xbox One. All my games run at a solid 60 FPS and it’s very smooth.

    Great Console. Small, portable and best of all High performance. Don't expect XSX or PS5 kid of performance but very close. The only one thing I didn't like was the low capacity of the HDD..

    An amazing value. Great way to get a next gen console. You can play Xbox One, Xbox 360 and first gen Xbox games off an external hard drive too. It's a wonderful machine!

    Well worth it when you consider faster downloads, great game play quality. And you can transfer games from your Xbox One to the Xbox series S. For how to transfer games research the topic via the internet.

    This system is really cool. I bought it because the series x has been unattainable as of late and, i did not want to wait to see the newest graphics of the newest games. I wish there were more titles available for this exclusively. The hard drive space is a little to small forcing you to buy external hard drives. But all in all it is a good purchase.

    I love the Series S ! I couldn’t find the series X but this has filled the gap ! My Xbox one x had a bad hdmi port and Microsoft wanted $250 for the repair the S was $ 299 with a controller ! # nobrainer

    If you’re unable to obtain a ps5 or an Xbox series x due to the high demand, coming from an Xbox one and a PS4 pro, you truly get a next gen experience out of this compact but truly powerful console!

    Great for people that play 1 or 2 games not a whole lot of space for the sizes of games that are being made, but nothing a portable hard drive wont fix.

    As many people can’t find the Xbox Series X at its $499 price… you may want to take a look at this especially IF YOU ARE NOT A HARD CORE GAMER and just want a cute little update. The sound and the visuals are very good. The down side will be the very low storage, especially when this is a disc-free. They aren’t plentiful of games as of yet..

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Series S, and thank you for recommending it to others. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015

      Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.

      We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    I’ve had this brand new Xbox for about 12 years and it’s holding up well. I’ve replaced the spindle and the transaxle twice. Would recommend aftermarket swashplates.

    Great product for a great price! I upgraded from my Xbox One X after about two years and the 120 frames are awesome. I've so far had no issues with the hardware or software.
