    Xbox Series S Review: A Next-Gen Powerhouse!

    The Xbox Series S is hands-down the best gaming console I’ve ever owned. From the lightning-fast load times thanks to the custom SSD, to the stunning 4K visuals and buttery-smooth frame rates, it delivers a truly next-gen experience. Quick Resume is a game-changer—being able to jump between multiple titles almost instantly is incredibly convenient. The performance is rock solid, whether I’m playing AAA blockbusters or indie gems on Game Pass. Speaking of Game Pass, the value it offers is unbeatable. This console is quiet, sleek, and powerful—everything I hoped for and more. Microsoft really knocked it out of the park! If you're even slightly considering an upgrade, do it. The Xbox Series S is worth every penny

    The Xbox was great and after a few weeks of use it does exactly what I expected out of it! I never had a console before but it was extremely easy to pick up, over all great buy and even going to buy accessories to make it even better!

    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

    Very Solid Console. I loved it the moment I took it out of the box. Did a lot of research before purchasing so I knew I would also need an expanded memory card. The graphic design for the games are phenomenal and the thought that went into the precision and direct design blew my mind. The only thing honestly I had an issue with was some of my favorite games had to be redownloaded because of MY failure to understand the backup before switching consoles. The new controllers also have a love hate relationship with me but you can’t have the world. Overall I am above satisfied with my purchase and I am enjoying the console.

    It works great! - Runs much smoother than the xbox one. The hard drive space is pretty small though. It's worth buying a external xbox hard drive.

    It's been a few months, this is my first ever console in my life and I am pretty happy with it! I got this like the very end of January, the 30th, actually, and it's July 27 as I write this and all is well, howeverrrr... if I could give 4.5/5 I would because my controller has stick drift already, I don't even play heavily or play heavy games (mainly only Overwatch).

    Great Purchase – Loving My New Xbox from Best Buy!

    I recently bought an Xbox from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! The console runs super smooth, graphics are amazing, and the performance is top-tier. Whether I’m playing solo or online with friends, the experience has been seamless and fast. Best Buy made the process easy – the staff was helpful, checkout was quick, and the Xbox was in perfect condition. I also appreciated the warranty options and clear explanations about setup. Definitely a 5-star experience from start to finish!
