Customer Ratings & Reviews

Greatest console I've ever gotten. Let me say I've had Playstations for years but becane dissatisfied with what's going on lately. Their digital catalogs is very small. There were lots of great games on the PS but you can't really find any of them on the PS network. They killed the backwards compatibility so you have to hold on to your older systems and jump from ps2 or ps3 or ps4 etc. This was very annoying. I researched the Xbox and they've maintained their backwards compatibility plus their gamepass is way better than PSnetwork plus the pricing for evrything console and gamepass is way cheaper than the PS setup. The Xbox series S is really a one stop gaming machine. The graphics are great and the system runs smoothly. I really like the quick start feature you could pick up right where you left off at in a game. I love the design, the unit is small simple and portable. I could break it down an stuff it in my bookbag no problem. Plus i don't need to travel with any physical games. I bought a 2T seagate hhd for about $50 for extra storage is small plug and play no issues with load time at all.

Controller - 10 / 10✔️ Storage - 5-6 / 10 ❗️⚠️ (512 isnt that much lol) Peformance /9.5/10 (can run many games locked at 60FPS with nice graphics, even some at 120.) Looks- 10/10 (small can store anywhere, and simple no need for extras.)

The Microsoft Xbox Series S is a fantastic addition to my gaming world, especially for those who prefer a disc-free gaming experience. The console's compact design and sleek white color make it a visually appealing addition to any entertainment setup. One of the standout features of the Xbox Series S is its all-digital nature, which means you can download and play games directly from the Microsoft Store without the need for physical discs. This not only saves space but also offers convenience as you can quickly access your gaming library with just a few clicks. The 512 GB of storage is adequate for storing several games, but if you're an avid gamer with a large collection, you might want to consider external storage options to expand the capacity. The console's performance is impressive, delivering smooth gameplay and faster loading times compared to previous Xbox models. The Xbox Series S supports up to 1440p resolution, providing crisp and clear visuals for most modern displays. While it might not match the graphical prowess of its big brother, the Xbox Series X, it still delivers a great gaming experience. The controller that comes with the console is the familiar Xbox Wireless Controller, which is comfortable to hold and responsive during gameplay. Additionally, the Xbox Series S is backward compatible, allowing you to play a vast library of Xbox One, Xbox 360, and even some original Xbox games, which adds tremendous value to the overall gaming experience. One of the major advantages of this console is its competitive pricing. As a budget-friendly option, the Xbox Series S offers excellent value for gamers who don't necessarily require 4K gaming but still want to enjoy the latest titles with impressive performance. In conclusion, the Microsoft Xbox Series S 512 GB All-Digital - Holiday Console - White is a compelling choice for gamers seeking an affordable and disc-free gaming solution. With its smooth performance, vast library of games, and backward compatibility, it's a great addition to your gaming setup. Whether you're a casual gamer or a more seasoned player, the Xbox Series S delivers on its promise of an enjoyable gaming experience.

The Series S has been my best investment in a console, coming from the Xbox one (2014) I was able to see a HUGE graphical and processing power difference. Games load insanely fast, the frame rate is smooth and never feels choppy like the last gen console. I play a lot of games like Modern Warfare, Battelfield 2042, GTA V, and Forza Motorsport. Having played all of them on the original Xbox One it’s actually quite nice to see these games through a new scope of color (HDR) and sound (Dolby), I feel more immersed into the scenes and appreciate the detail Microsoft put into making the Series S capable of making games enjoyable at a budget that I’m sure anyone can agree is worth the money. Also the small size makes it so easy to put anywhere in my house or put in my bag to take with me to a friend’s/family’s house and easily connect with just two cords. I love how quiet the console actually is, my old one sounded more like a jet engine whenever I turn it on or run triple A games, but this Series S reminds me more of a Tesla with its efficiency and zero noise running just about anything. I have no complaints with this console at all other than that the storage space could’ve been slightly improved, but I bought a external SSD which solved my storage issue, I have about 40 games which need a lot of space. But for the average person it has enough space for around 5-6 large games, but honestly with how fast games download you probably wouldn’t care if you had to delete one and download another in under 15 minutes haha. But yes I give the Series S a 9.6/10 in my personal opinion, if it wasn’t for the storage it would’ve been a perfect 10, but other than that I love it! Hope this helps anyone who wants to switch over to next gen if you haven’t already or planning on buying for someone else!

Best console that I've ever purchased. I was not planning on purchasing this console when I walked into Best Buy but I had $200 left over after making a phone purchase that I initially planned on spending a $1000 on but had $200 left over and the series was on sale for 250 with a 512GB solid state drive so it was such a great deal that I ended up buying the console. I do not have a PS5 or Xbox series X, so I cannot compare it to the other 2 consoles, but as far this console goes, it is truly amazing. The only downside is that it's advertised as having 512 gigabytes of storage but with the system Software that is stored on their, you end up with only 364 gigs, so if storage is an issue, I would definitely go with a xbox series X or a playstation 5 with a terabyte of storage Because if you buy an expansion card, the cost of the memory card plus the console will total up to the cost of a xbox series X or a ps5.

If you have a Xbox One S or arguably even a One X, this loads faster, better frame rate, and very compact. As you can see in the pics, the unit is very easy to put in a bag and take it places.

It's a great console for casual gaming, the performance and visual fidelity won't disappoint if you are targeting 60fps/1440p. You could also get 120fps/1440p in competitive titles such as Call of Duty but there would be a noticeable loss of visual quality due to the usage of upscaling techniques. The only downside that I can point to is the lack of storage, not only drive is 512GB but you get around 390-410GBs usable space due to system files.

Amazing product. Impressive small but poweful design that is easy to transport. Well worth the upgrade for 120 fps and 4k gaming experiences.

Great upgrade for the kids. Fast console with great performance. Small footprint makes it easy to find a home for its placement. Wish it had more storage as next gen games are huge!!

This console is a beast for the price. This outperforms most gaming pcs on the market. 120FPS with ray tracing and epic graphic settings smooth gameplay. 100% worth the buy you can’t beat it. Great controller with USB C. 1 con is the low storage but that can be resolved quite simply.

I've had the Holiday Edition Series S for a little more than a year now. I have had absolutely no issues with the console from Feb 2023 to today. I will admit that the storage capacity and how much the Xbox will hold is finicky. I can only have at max six games downloaded at once, where as friends of mine with the same Xbox can have more. I'm gonna assume its based on how big or small the download size is though. The controller was fine until the sticks began to drift and make my characters walk forward on their own or look indefinitely up or down. I still have the console and I love it.

Make sure you buy a storage card for it or if ya plan on playing cloud no worries then. Bought this one for travel so far great.

Small and convenient. Love that the main air vent is up top. Performs great. I’ve had this for about 6 months with no hiccups!

This Series S is perfect for my bedroom when I feel too lazy to get up and game on my series X at my desk. Considering how small it is, it will also become my travel console. Great entry into next gen if you haven’t made the jump yet. The price of $250 is a steal and makes it even more attractive to folks looking to make the leap. You will need an expansion card for more storage because stock storage you’re getting maybe 2-3 games on it as many have mentioned. If you don't have a top end TV to accommodate the Series X this series S is a no brainer.

I have this as my traveling gaming device. Works perfectly especially when paired with gamepass! Best value in current gen gaming

Great small machine looks great on my sony 75in tv games are awesome kid's love it.

my son loves it he plays on it everyday especially the subscription that he pays to download some homes he wants to play

My son has had a hard year last year . He had the first Xbox . It lagged , shut off sometimes. My mom had been promised him a new one for over a year . (They got money ) so even though I’m broke just surviving I purchased the Xbox, Siri S it’s not the newest one but it’s newer . He loves it . His gaming has improved its fast . I would definitely buy another one.

This Xbox does excellent if you know what you’re buying! I have a series x in my gaming room but wanted a series s in my room for late night bed binge gaming at times! This tv does that just well, play all my favorite games just fine and with a good tv it looks just as good as my series x!

I actually purchased two of these Xbox bundles from Best Buy for Christmas for my children. I have 6 kids so buying two was a must. And I am not disappointed with my purchase whatsoever I got a great deal for some awesome Christmas gifts that keep them occupied. I definitely recommend hitting up Best Buy they have great deals! Thanks guys!
