Amazing product. Arrived faster than originally quoted. Price match policy is amazing and it actually comes from BestBuy instead of other stores that ship you consoles from 3rd party vendors. Only downside is storage capactiy but if you have gamepass, it eliminates the issue. If you have the money, play +4 "large" games at once (2k, Warzone, FC, etc.) and don't want gamepass I would recommend splurging for the series X. I'm maxed out on storage with Madden 26, CFB 25, Avatar, and 2k25, but now using Gamepass I use the cloud for everything else plus the additonal games and just have Madden saved for max performance.

The Xbox Series S is a compact and powerful console that offers a fantastic gaming experience at a more affordable price compared to its larger counterpart, the Series X. One of the standout features of the Series S is its design; it's sleek and modern, making it easy to fit into any entertainment setup.
In terms of performance, the Series S delivers impressive graphics and fast load times thanks to its custom SSD. While it has less storage than the Series X, the ability to expand storage through external drives helps mitigate this issue. The console supports a wide range of games, including many from previous Xbox generations, which is a huge plus for gamers looking to enjoy a vast library.
Another highlight is the Xbox Game Pass service, which provides access to a massive selection of games for a monthly fee. This makes the Series S an excellent choice for gamers who want to explore different titles without committing to individual purchases. Overall, the Xbox Series S is a great option for those looking for a next-gen gaming experience without breaking the bank.

I have the series x, but it is a bit big for travel reason. And this xbox does everything i ever needed from the series x, but its compact size is what made this purchase amazing. Its compact size allows me to take with with me on plane rides, and keep it on my carry on. So i dont have to worry about it getting lost or beat up.

The Series S may be the little brother of Microsoft’s line up, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not perfect for you. For the average gamer than does not need the best of the best, this beats any console out there. The power it provides in conjunction with the size is incredible. This little machine was made to game. No, you can’t play all AAA games at 4K 120FPS, but that’s not what this was made for. It was designed for the average person to enjoy, not for the pixel-peeping refresh rate enthusiasts. It’ll play all games the Series X will, maybe just not as pretty or smooth. Most people don’t even own a TV or monitor that match the potential the Series X can offer. It’ll play games, surf the web, and consume content all day long all in a footprint that’s a fraction of the size (and cost) of the competition. Looking to get into gaming for yourself, your family, and/or your kids? Look no further.

I love how lightweight and slim it is. It allows me to navigate from room to room easily. My games load really fast, way faster than my Playstation. I only took off one star because compared to my other consoles even my Xbox series X. This series S gets hotter and gets there fast at that. So I purchased a fan immediately.

Everything about this console would make it a 5 star if the parent company wasn’t so greedy and horrible. Great price, great UI, compact and quality design/build- all around a great console experience. The downsides are just as substantial though. You have to spend the money on the premium version of the console to use your back catalogue of disk games. You cannot redeem your previously purchased disk games and have to buy them again digitally. I love the ease of use and quality of digital downloads, just wish there was a way to use all of the other games I own without buying them again or spending twice as much on the premium console. It is also deeply unfortunate you have to purchase a wired headset OR an Xbox branded/approved wireless one. It is unbelievably frustrating that we’ve reached a point where accessories are proprietary/limited. I have also gone through 4 Microsoft controllers in 2 years. They get plagued with stick drift or the headphone jack breaks. My final gripe is the price of storage/requirement for external secondary storage. All of these are another example of shareholders being prioritized over consumers (the only reason the company has success).

The Xbox Series S is a compact, budget-friendly next-gen console that delivers fast performance, smooth gameplay, and access to hundreds of titles through Xbox Game Pass. It’s all-digital with no disc drive and has limited storage (512GB), but it's perfect for casual gamers or those who want great value without needing 4K graphics. Sleek, quiet, and surprisingly powerful for its size.

This console works well, games run smoothly and look great. The 512gb model only has enough storage for a few Xbox series X/S games, you can't play any X/S games on an external storage drive
