Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was looking to upgrade from my Xbox One and decided to go with the Series S since I am only a “casual gamer.” I’m glad I did! The counsel performs very well and the games look amazing. The Series S was a great upgrade.

I think Best Buy has probably handled stocking these better than most retailers did, especially with how hard these are to find. This was my second Next-Gen console, this one for my wife, who was using my hand-me-down Xbox one S. Best Buy made it simple and easy to surprise my wife and have her pick it up herself. This was an added touch that I really appreciate their app having. Best Buy did a 10/10 on this purchase. The Console Itself: It’s definitely not the Series X in terms of processing power, which led to a loss of fluidity in frame rate at times, but this was far and few between, happening exclusively on large MMORPG’s Such as Black Desert. It’s internal storage is laughable, considering large games can be 100’s of gbs. An easy fix is to just pick up a 2 tb hard drive from seagate. That’s what she did, and now she has more room that I do. Overall, it was a great buy for us. If you’re looking to game with your partner, the series S is an awesome option!

My son absolutely loves this gaming system over the previous generation. It has more dynamic worlds, faster load times, and the design is really nice. Happy of the price as well. The only thing is you will need to buy an external drive for more storage space.

perfect console for gamin, small compact and runs very fast.

Great Console with fast speeds, the one downside this that you can only download literally 3 games and run out of storage so be prepared to buy an extension hard drive and they can run up to $220 for the lates model of Xbox extension card. Xbox can run up to 120GHZ and Run 4K

Love it! I bought this for my wife for her birthday to upgrade for the Xbox one, performs great.

Love this Xbox. I went with the S because I couldn’t get my hands on an X, but honestly it’s more than enough for me. I upgraded from an original Xbox one, so the leap is enormous. The speed that this Xbox runs in comparison to the Xbox one is night and day.

I'm new to gaming. This is the first console I've ever used. I basically chose this for its price and whether it would play Hogwarts Legacy efficiently. I asked a gamer about different consoles and went with the one i could afford. I'm satisfied with what it does. The only problem is there is no disc drive. All games are digital.

Purchased this after I was one of the lucky ones who was able to get the series X at launch, tried getting one for my brother, but this one was the only one available and I was lucky enough at the time to get it for him. He likes it, it's fast for being it's amazingly small size.

Cheaper than the Xbox one X but nearly just as good. This this such a good console if you are looking to play next gen games but don’t want to break the bank.

Love this console. It’s perfect for the living room, where I have a Series X in my media room. I’m able to play this one with my wife and with guests we have over on the comfort of our couch and it honestly performs just as well as the Series X does.

Just wait for the series X. In all honestly this is a great value for what it is. If you plan to buy this and pair it with game pass, great, it’s perfect. That said, expect to pay Xbox prices on all games and be subject to only their sales. I personally prefer to have the option to buy disc games for much cheaper. That alone makes the X worth it to me, not to mention the obvious power difference and increased load times etc.

This console is fire it runs quick an graphics are amazing

This is great. I wish the larger model was available. I use it for gaming and as a multimedia device for streaming. With games, they are so much faster and the wait time is practically eliminated for hi graphics games like assassins creed.

Small but powerful! this is great for someone who is a casual gamer

Anyone buying this has to also consider the series x. While this offers astounding value for 300 dollars. Versus the series x (200 dollars more), you are giving up over half of the internal storage (external does not work with this generation of games), and the extra power to play most everything in 4k. This console is fairly compact and light, but for the entire generation ahead of us, lacking 4k is going to hurt more and more.

No complaints at all…it’s what is advertised. It’s the cheaper and mych more available alternative to the Series X. If you don’t mind downloading your games rather than using discs, this suits you. It’s remarkably small as well, very transportable.

Very fast loading times and great features for the price. Only issue is the limited storage which can be remedied with an external hard drive. You won’t get the loading speed if you use games on the external drive, but just switch games between it and the ssd and you’ll be fine.

Great holiday edition! Great price, works fantastic and is nice and compact! Exactly the system we needed for our living room and we love the digital edition because our son likes to break disc drives.

I couldn’t believe I managed to snag this. So excited. Works amazing. You do have to keep in mind you may need an external hard drive as there is no disc drive so you will need space to store your digital games. Otherwise for the price it’s a great deal.
