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.

    Excellent product and excellent service from Best Buy. The only thing missing is a disk drive so I can use my collection of compatible games on disk. Very happy with my purchase.

    First of all this thing is a beast. I love having it and game pass takes it to a whole other level. I like how small it is because I travel a lot so it goes with me. This is a must buy.

    I’ve owned every Xbox model since the first and this is yet another successful unit in a long line. Just wish the X was available, the S doesn’t have a disc drive

    Purchased the Xbox Series S for my son to replace his old Xbox one that was on it's last legs. He's very happy with the difference in download speed compared to his former Xbox.

    Coming from an original Xbox One. Awesome system for the price, works well for me as I don’t have a tv that would fully display all the Series X can produce. Game Pass Ultímate is a must.

    Great console & you can play remotely on your phone or from your TV to another room! PS5 can't even do that which is why i ended up going with XBOX
