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.

    Like the new UI and the quick resume is awesome. My only problem is that the games seem to get larger and larger. I used to be able to fit 4-5 games on my Xbox one s and now on my series s I can have maybe 2-3. Another issue is the expansion cards cost almost as much as the console does. It’s crazy that they cost so much.

    Definitely an upgrade to the xbox one. Graphics and speed. Not a lot of soace but enough to have some games downloaded until u decide to uninstall one to be able to make room for another.

    I love the xbox series s, good noiseless and very light and compact. The only thing I wish it could do the use of discs for playing old games in it, other than that good. Thanks BB

    Truthfully. I have put an Xbox Series x and Series S side by side on two OLED 65 inchers and honestly, i really couldn't tell the difference. the 4K upscale is beautiful on the S. Love this thing.

    Amazing value but small internal storage

    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.

    Really nice graphics for games and streaming. I do miss the drive though and downloading everything takes too much time. It fits a niche market though and is an upgrade over the Xbox One X.

    I bought this console a month ago. compared to my Xbox One S it is way better. The Graphics, the time it takes to start the Xbox/games. Overall it is the best budget next-gen console in my eyes.

    Coming from a Xbox one S to this was quite the improvement. Using it for a 1080p setup and the improvement was phenomenal. The storage could be better, but the price is right. So far very impressed.

    This Xbox works great. No problems so far. Took forever to get one. Thank you best buy for not jacking up the price. I've actually started shoping more at best buy because I appreciate that.

    This is a truly excellent system that is capable of some amazing things. My kids are really enjoying it. The only real annoyance: insufficient onboard storage memory necessitating the purchase of an additional expansion card. That said, once the latter is plugged into the back of this thing, it's really pretty cool.

    Got this as my portable Xbox X|S Game Pass machine so I don’t have to take the X around. If it was my only console, I’d miss the ability to use physical media, but with Game Pass, it’s great
