    The 2nd best console available today, IMO

    This thing is very underrated. Its fast and small, and is perfect if you want to travel with just a couple of "essential" games......or stash it in a room/place that wouldn't normally have space for a console setup. Just cant do 8K....oh well.

    I am very happy with my purchase. Just a few minor complaints. I love the size, and price point. It gets you into the next gen at a realistic price. I think the games run smooth. Sure they are not on same level with Series X or PS5 but they will do. My one complaint is I do not like the Xbox UI and the options for audio / mics. Just seems very dumbed down + hard to navigate.

    If you really don’t care about 4K resolution then buy this console. If you aren’t a console fanatic then buy this console. If you don’t care about physical discs or don’t see it as a con then buy this console. If you don’t mind the 330gb of usable storage then buy this console. For this price I think it’s capable of delivering next gen performance at an affordable price. It’s small clean and compact sort of. A neat console for its price point.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for recommending Xbox Series S, especially to players ready to go all-digital in their gaming. If you're running low on storage, you have a couple of options. The best solution is to invest in the Seagate SSD 1TB Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S, which will add 1TB of SSD storage to your console. For more information, go here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seagate-storage-expansion-card-for-xbox-series-xs-1tb-solid-state-drive-nvme-expansion-ssd-for-xbox-series-xs/6425015.p?skuId=6425015

      Another solution is to add a standard external hard drive, which can be used to store and play Xbox 360 and Xbox One games that have not been enhanced for Xbox Series X/S.

      We hope you have a lot of fun with your Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    Nice Cheap Version of the Xbox

    The Series S is good, but I wish I had bought another Series X instead. The X is worth the increased cost. But it's good they made this, as the previous generation One X would be 3-stars compared to it, and the previous generation One S would only be 2-stars compared to it. The solid state storage load times make all the difference, but 512GB isn't great.

    Worth upgrading from the “one”. I also transitioned to a gaming monitor and it’s been incredible. Graphics/gameplay/ everything about it is worth it. Pretty sleek too, and much smaller so it looks good displayed.

    It may be the weaker of the two new Xboxes, but you'd hardly notice while playing it. I enjoyed it enough that I purchased a Series X and sold this one to a friend who is loving it. Great if you want a new console without breaking the bank to play new games.

    It's an XBox..what more needs to be said. It's quiet, sleek, and plays games. Of course, there's no disc drive, so all the games are digital.

    Despite its price and its capacity it works to play a lot of games, whether you have extra memory or not. It is worth what it costs, despite its price and its ability to play a lot of games, whether you have extra memory or not. It is worth what it costs.

    Best buy, As usual genuine products at the official price. I got my Xbox s series at the official price where others took the advantage of low availability and increased the prices drastically. Also, I got my delivery within one day. Thank you best buy.

    This next generation console is so fast it makes my head spin. Although it being the digital, it has an expansion bay up to one terabyte for now of SSD and you can attach your own hard drive to it via 3.0 USB. 4K gaming and 120 frames is insane if you have the monitor for it.

    I really like the Series S. I do not mind playing in 1080p because I don't want to spend the extra money on the Series X and I don't want to upgrade my t.v. My only minor gripe is that it doesn't have much storage space, but I really only play a couple games anyway.

    Definitely beats my Xbox One that I’ve had since 2013 launch. FPS is noticeably different from the 30fps on my Xbox One. I play on PC as well and the Series S is just as smooth and beautiful! The load times quick, too. I blink and I’m in-game fraggin’ straight up.

    I love it, in size it is super comfortable because it does not take up too much space, I can play my favorite video games at any time, with the game pass it is not necessary to purchase physical games, it is the best!!!

    Phenomenal gaming system! Very easy to set up and small enough to fit in any gamers space. No long load times and quick connectivity to the internet. You can also add a expandable device for larger storage capacity.
