Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Xbox Series S's low price, excellent performance, and crisp graphics. Many also praise its compact size and ease of use, finding it a great console for the family. However, some users point out the limited storage space as a significant drawback, and the lack of a disc drive is also a recurring concern for some buyers. While some experience occasional heating issues or lag, these are not universally reported problems.

    Been enjoying the game playing with wife, especially the co-op games and now that Starfield has released been enjoying that as well. Love the 4K HDR10 video and game quality. Only downfall or con to the system for it being an digital only system is that it has 512gb of storage but after the OS you are left with 380gb of storage, and for a game like Starfield that takes up 101gb, that is most of the storage is gone. So we ended up buying a 4tb NVMe external to transfer/play games from since the proprietary storage devices or overpriced and not enough storage.

    Product is great, have had a great time playing some of my favorite games ever since I bought it. Easy to connect and account transfer was very straight forward. The bundles that come with this console are also great since they are for some popular games so it’s great to gift for a friend or kids.

    This was a great bundle! The price was right and you save money by buying all of the items in a bundle, as well as all items, enhance the overall experience. I bought this for my son and my husband to play together and even when he is out of town they can both still play And connect.

    Absolutely love this console!! I have both the Xbox Series X and this system. I love this system because it’s so easy to turn on and instantly play! This is my favorite system by far because it’s small and compact and will fit in essentially any spot in a house!

    Heck of a deal! We have this in the new youth room at our church. We play Fortnite and Rocket League at all of our events and the kids love it. It doesn’t hold a candle to the series X I have at home, but for what we need at church you can’t get better than this!

    [Employee of bestbuy] At 1st I was skeptical because ive always had disc consoles but decided id give it a try. Glad I took a chance. Graphics, Console features with remote play away from home, & durability makes me reccomend this to anyone.

    Love it, much better than the previous console. Only two issues. The small storage space means I can only get a few games at a time without purchasing a specific storage drive for 200 dollars, as other external storage doesn't work with it. Second issue is a desynchronization of audio and video when watching YouTube

    Had a Xbox X with lots of problems. Warranty ended and so did the X. Already have a Xbox S which had no problems with it, so I bought another to replace the X. It was on sale on a flash sale so I picked up a Xbox S. Hopefully it worked like the first one I bought.

    Excellent system, as someone who’s had the original Xbox one since release this is a major update. Only issue in my opinion is the storage space but they covered that with the new console dropping next month with 1tb of storage to fit everyone’s needs. A+ Microsoft
