Customer Ratings & Reviews

Seamless design, excellent quality, fast. This is my first one and I'm very happy with it's performance so far.

Wanted a series X, but couldn't find one, so I broke down and purchased this so I could experience "next gen". I am glad I did, its small and compact to put anywhere, graphics are great! Also, it not having a disc drive is a non factor! Great little system, highly recommend!!!!

Good console love that its compact and easy to move

Great gameplay and graphics. Super fast load times. Game pass provides a plethora of series s enhanced games to enjoy. Get the extra expandable memory, downloaded 4 games with games pass (large downloads, halo was 100 gig) and memory full. Outside of that, great interface and console.

I wasn't going to get my youngest son an Xbox because the Series X were all sold out. I also heard some negatives on the Series X with their overheating issues. I decided to go with the Series S after reading nothing but good reviews about it. My son loves it, and it performs phenomenally. I also purchased him a gaming monitor before Christmas for his Xbox One he has. My oldest has the Xbox One S, the digital one with no disc-drive. The Series S is fast, and he has it connected to our modem via an ethernet cable to boost the speed. Even my oldest who was home from school said our internet connection was lightning-fast when hard connected as they were both switching the cable to boost their download speeds. The bottom line is, don't be disappointed if you can't get a Series X. Go with the Series S and get a Seagate 1TB storage card built for the S. You'll be right up there with the X except for supposed higher resolution graphics.

I am surprised how amazing this little guy performs. The nvme ssd is super fast and the difference in performance with it's bigger brother is minimal. (Series X) The 512 GB hard drive can be a little small but other than that I think this is a great value for your money.

Great product for your buck. However I will encourage on purchasing the 1tb sea gate drive. As this console will only give you around 360 something SSD storage space (to use). Love the load times (just as fast as the series x) quick resume is slightly faster on this console vs the series x but we talking milliseconds. Graphics are great however because of the gpu power is a 3rd of the se series x power you can see some choppiness. “Things in the far will load”

Superior gaming system for someone that likes to play only occasionally and when they have the time and on a budget. Graphics are better than most consoles (my PS4) and the price point makes it worth it (less than the Series X and the graphics are just as good). You get to play just about all the games in the Xbox library for a small monthly fee just like the Series X. I upgraded the memory storage to have plenty of space on the limited internal hard drive by buying a WD Black 5TB external HD from BB that was on sale so I have no trouble downloading large memory games. I was thinking of upgrading from my PS4 to the PS5 but for the price and availability the S is the better system for me. I had to get in on the early demand for the holidays too so I bought one right away.

Great purchase. Awesome graphics and modern design. Came with free month of FuboTV, and a controller. The console is so fast and sleek and easy to use. Highly recommend.

I like it but prefer the X as the images are crisper and it loads a bit quicker. This one is not that far off, I use this at work and the X at home. I love the compact design and the fact it was available at a time when i couldn't get the X or PS5. The storage isn't a huge issue for me but of course more is always better.

Broke down and bought next-gen junior after a solid year of trying and failing to get a Series X. The drive is small, so the extra storage upgrade is probably a must if this is your main console. The load times are reduced dramatically, and games look and play great.

The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the storage. Its a great console in every way. Beautiful graphics. Incredible load times. Consistently Smooth gameplay. However a storage of 364 gb is nowhere near enough. A game like call of duty takes up nearly half of that by itself. At most youre gonna have about 5 or 6 games and constantly will be uninstalling games to make room. If you can afford the 1 tb expansion or just dont need alot of storage its definitely worth every cent.

Thanks to Best Buy I was able to grab two of these little titans for my kids NOT to scalp real gamers. I also got myself the Series X from Best Buy of course and I must say this disc-free console is amazing. I should have gone with the Gamepass bundle so save $15 because that will get you the most out of this console. It comes packed with such care and quality materials that unboxing it alone was a far better experience than the Playstation 5 I finally got 4 months after launch but thanks again to bestbuy.com. The HDMI and controller are every bit of what you get with the Series X so there is nothing left desired except the storage but it is manageable and expandable. Unless you have an 8K TV and even then I believe this console came to play and makes no apologies. At this price point pick one up and have a blast while you wait to get that PS5 but certainly don't give in to the scalpers because NONE of the systems are worth more than retail and Best Buy is the place to get all of them.

Love how small the console is but dont let its size deceive you. Theres a whole lot of power packed in this little console. Looks stylish, controller has a nice feel to it, games load quick, just what I was looking for.

I really like this system. I love the size and sleek design. It is so much smaller than the PS5 and just as powerful. I don’t buy disc games anymore so it is perfect for me. It is also affordable and is easy to find. I definitely recommend the XBOX Series S to all games both hardcore and casual!

It’s an amazing device at a great price, no other competitors, and it plays all modern games. Huge fan. Only issue is storage, I could only install 4 games.

I bought this console for its small form factor and price tag. One thing reviewers have not touched on is the portability of the console. Fit snuggly in my backpack as I travelled for 40 hours+. With the absurd prices PC gaming costs, this is probably your best bet for cheap, 2k gaming.

Microsoft knocked it out of the park with both the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S! I would recommend either of them, the graphics are amazing, the load times even more amazing, and they're both compact enough to not take up huge amounts of room, like their counterpart PS5...

Awesome next gen console in a small package. I picked this one up to install in my family room for quick gaming sessions. It’s super fast, has amazing graphics, and is super silent. Can’t go wrong with this one if you don’t need a disc drive.

Love the conslole it’s fast. Storage it a bit of an issue as you can really only use about 300 of the 500 gigabytes in the console, but that can be solved with a storage expansion and I don’t just mean the expensive sea gate drive. Regular hard drives work as long as they are at least USB 3.0. Additionally it seems to get very hot so maybe there is an issue with ventilation or maybe I don’t have it set up right. Other than those things it’s a great buy.
