Customer Ratings & Reviews

small and compact compared to PS5 or Series X. Good graphics and fast. I don't mid that it does not have a disc loader. Download feature is perfect, although I wish the storage was larger. I can't have more 2-3 large games at a time. At the same time, there are cloud based games so I can work around it. This is a good starter game console.

I own both a Series X and a Series S. I keep my Series X in my living room where my 4k LG TV that can maximize all its features (True 4K, 120hz). The Series S is kept in my office room attached two one of my 32in Gaming monitors that maximizes at 1440p and over 165hz (The Series S specs are for 1440p and 120hz gaming) which is really what the Series S is built for. The Series S' speed compared to the Series X is about 90% as fast as its older sibling in body about half its size. It's really an engineering marvel to be able to put out the kind of power and features this thing pushes with no noise at all. I recomend investing in the 1tb expansion card and the Microsoft Xbox wireless headphones and you will be impressed.

Best Xbox yet for the price. Bought this and the extended memory card to put in my home office. Graphics are great. It's fast. I like that it's small. Highly recommend.

I wanted a new console for the living room. Chose this one because we only play titles from Game Pass. It’s small, quiet and fast. Internal drive is small. Suggest everyone to look at getting an expansion memory card.

I like its minimalistic design it is smaller than the xbox one s I was surprise when I saw it .with its 512gb storage you are going to need an external storage if you want to install more than three or games .

Originally i had a playstation 4 pro, and when it kicked the bucket i decided to switch to xbox. I wanted the series x however it was sold out and found this. Overall im super impressed with it. The design, the way it runs. The storage space isn't a issue giving certain games arent big downloads. You can always purchase extra storage if needed. You also cant beat the price for a next gen console. Overall there is no difference between the x and series s. I did alot of reaearch talked to a few friends and there is only a few differences not really a game changer. Im impressed how far xbox/microsoft came. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a next gen console.

Full disclosure: I'm not a serious gamer. I picked this up on a whim (pandemic boredom). I also bought the Microsoft Game Pass. Set-up was pretty easy out the box. Only a few hiccups separating my work Microsoft account from my personal account. Took about an hour for all the updates to complete. Game pass has a nice selection of games. I like being able to play cloud based games. If you're a serious gamer, the storage will probably be an issue. Downloading a graphics heavy game like Forza takes a good chunk of the available memory. I have 5 or 6 games in my library now and I'm already 93% full. I recommend getting a charger/recharging station for the controllers. Replacing batteries gets old pretty fast. My only real gripe is that it was surprisingly difficult to set up our second controller so that my wife and I could play against each other. If you want to play against someone halfway across the world, no problem. Playing against someone sitting with you on your couch, on the other hand, is a lot more difficult. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

First of all let me say, yes half a terabyte but ladies and gents you can get 2 TB heck even 4TB if you shop around for under $120, yes for another $200 if you're lucky enough to find the Series X you could get it, the better console that runs a bit quicker and gives you real 4K content. But If you're a gamer and don't mind 2K at 120FPS this is for you. Plus digital games are the future and load faster and run smoother. I haven't owned an Xbox since the 360 and I almost forgot how fun Halo, Gears of War, and other Xbox exclusives are. Great price with insurance and a 4TB hardrive it was still cheaper then my PS5. Overall the build the quality on a samsung Qled tv just can't get any better. Super happy with Microsoft and the new Series S.

No complaints here, great console for great price. The only downside is the storage is 512 gigs, but luckily I have a external hard so no problem for the time being. The console is very quiet, pretty small your able to take it to your friends house in a backpack, and your able to play your favorite Xbox 360, original Xbox, and Xbox one games.

This is a pretty cheap way to get into next gen gaming. The Series S is built very solidly. I expected it to be larger, but was pretty surprised at how compact it was. Setup was easy, and the initial console update didn't take that much time. If you have this + gamepass, you're pretty much set. The only downside with this console, is that the internal storage is pretty limited (you are not getting all of the 512gb, some space is reserved for the system). So you will either have to rotate the games you have on the Series S, or invest in an external HDD (either a regular one, or buy the very very very expensive Seagate expansion card). This system is perfect for those who don't buy physical media, and who are new to the Xbox ecosystem.

Great value at 300, and even goes cheaper a lot! Very compact but games still look great. Perfect console if you just want to use game pass.

The console itself is very impressive when considering what it is capable of relative to its size and price. One note is that storage is a bit low after downloading the OS updates, so an external hard drive is necessary. Had to return because the controller was defective, even after Microsoft service repairs. Overall, great purchase for kids to begin their gaming journey!

best console i’ve ever owned. bought this until I than get my hands on the series x but this little console Is outstanding. Im a big pubg fan and this has changed the way pubg runs and looks and man.. Im happy.

I'm always going for the best Xbox and since the Series X is currently unattainable, I decided to get this in the meantime. I'm coming from the Project Scorpio so the resolution drop is noticeable for me, but this thing plays games way better with the higher frames. 1 star loss because of the on board 512gb memory, it's 2021 and games are huge.

Great for casual gaming, I upgraded from my original Xbox One which was having trouble running newer games and if you don’t want to drop $500 or more for the series X this is a great option, no disk games but most of my games were digital so that’s fine for me, only having 500gb can get annoying but I don’t play very many games at once so it’s not too much of a problem, and you can get 1tb hard drive extensions for around $80 if you need some more space, also, this thing is TINY. Very useful for traveling or just not taking up much room. Overall excellent value and the controller it comes with is very nice.

I like the new Xbox series s. Definitely an upgrade graphics/speed wise from the Xbox one s. Only negative is the storage. I bought a 1TB memory card at $219 to make sure I had enough to fit all of my games on. Total for everything $520… could’ve just gotten the series x for that price. (Good luck finding them)

Love my X Box, and this is coming from a die hard ps guy, not only the graphics but the speed and performance. Tried the Ps5, Its a great system but I think I am sticking with X Box for now.

YES! Excellent gaming system! I decided to forego the discs because I have an 11 year old - also it's $200 less! The graphics are gorgeous and I've not had a game glitch out on me yet. Definitely prepare to get Xbox Live at least, so another $10 monthly or $100 a year. I opted for GamePass and LOVE IT! The only real complaint I'd say I have is that its only 512GB out the box - but I have added additional storage via my USB 3.0 external HD. Oh, and remote play is a total game changer! Love sitting outside by the fire playing xbox *additional viewing device needed*,Good vibes, hope you can get your hands on one - took me months of watching alerts for when it'd be in stock but it was worth it!

Definitely an upgrade to the xbox one. Graphics and speed. Not a lot of soace but enough to have some games downloaded until u decide to uninstall one to be able to make room for another.

Compact shape, light weight, it is the perfect console to take out or travel with. Also, it works as expected, excellent graphics, nice design and affordable price. Happy with my purchase!
