Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this console. It’s quick and runs great graphics. Just be prepared to buy an extra storage card sometime in the next year or so as the 512 gb goes quickly with big game like call of duty or assassins creed. As long as you don’t mind no disc reader and slightly less graphics and capabilities of the series x this console is great.

An upgrade into the IoT world. Faster, smaller, sleeker and an overall better value than previous versions. Performance is awesome, flexibility is high and specs at price point are impressive.

The Xbox Series S does exactly what advertises. You get a solid "next gen" experience for a budget price. OS and feature-wise, you're getting a similar experience to the Xbox Series X. I feel it best to really break things down via a Pros and Cons list: Pros: - Cheapest entry point into next-gen - It's small! So much so that it makes the PS5 and Series X look like monsters Cons: - Only 512Gb of storage, with a little over 300Gb available after you take the OS into consideration -- There's an additional 1Tb storage card you can buy, but at $200 it makes the Series S as expensive as just buying the Series X - Backwards compatible games play in Xbox One mode, not Xbox One X enhanced - Most "next-gen" games play at 1080p, the console upscales them to 4K but it's nowhere near as "clean" as the Series X Personally, I would recommend this as a console for someone who just wants to play Game Pass and/or Microsoft's exclusive games. If you're looking for a console for a younger kid, this could also be a great companion. If you're an adult that would prefer a Series X or PS5, wait until they're available. The Series S makes too many compromises.

Great, compact and powerful. What else could you ask for? May not have 4K but it does the job and looks Amazing! If you’re a casual gamer with only digital games, this is the console for you.

Great machine ... speed, crisp graphics, super sound. My only complaint is with Microsoft. I have a number of disc based XBOX One and 360 games that are compatible with the Series S however I have to rebuy them; there should be a disc trade in program ... I'd even be ok paying a nominal $5 trade in fee

Great for traveling, amazing at 1440 or 1080. I got this for when I travel its smaller and lighter than my gaming Razer 15. I does great when I'm at the hotel and they only have 1080p TV. its small and light and you only need to bring the power cable, hdmi and a controller and your set. seems like my gaming computer is on par on graphics as well. If yo want a compact gaming console to travel with you for yourself or your kids this is the one to get and at the same time if you dont want to game and just watch streaming services this works to. I think the price is a bit high at 300 but at 250 which I feel it will be next year around the holidays it will come down in price.

What can I say, next gen consoles are where it’s at. I don’t own a 4K tv or monitor yet so I’m literally losing out on nothing with series s over the x except some storage space. Which would be my only complaint about this system, the hard drive is a bit small, and games like COD and Destiny 2 eat it up real quick. Still get the blazing fast load times and 60 FPS that series x offers though, which is really what I want. Love the Xbox ecosystem and operating system vs their rivals. Xbox game pass is a game changer, it’s a tad pricey for the service, but worth every penny will not go back to a console without it.

Strong console for a great price. Runs great and it’s very quiet. It’s really small so it fits almost anywhere

Great xbox have no problems. only reason not a 5 star is the space. terabyte would be nice but i dont play enough games that its that much of an issue. will always buy from best buy

Amazing machine for a great price comparatively to the other consoles available. I would recommend this to anyone who is into gaming or looking to get back in after a break. The employees were very helpful and friendly in recommending this console and couldn’t be more happy with my purchase!

This is a great gaming console. I like it better than the playstation. Xbox game pass subscription makes a great addition. Plenty of great games for everyone out there. Backward compatibility is the best. The only gripe is not enough onboard storage. In addition an option for physical game disks would be nice. However you can use external storage for older generation games, such as an external hard-drive. However Microsoft's proprietary expansion card is required for next generation games. Overall great value.

Works perfectly and is so much faster than my Xbox one! Love that is digital so it's so much slimmer too.

As a low cost alternative to the much harder to find Series X this tiny little console delivers a lot! Runs cool and quiet and looks beautiful on a 4K display.

Great performance, speed, and value. Only an issue if you have a large physical disc collection, console is digital only

I purchased this for traveling (I have a Series X at home). I have been very pleasantly surprised with the performance, I don't notice much of a difference compared to the X. If you are on a budget and lean towards downloads anyways, I would highly recommend this model. Only thing I would do differently is purchasing the newer model with more storage...probably worth the price difference.

Great console for the price. Can’t store too many games on the console itself due to the hard drive size but still a great console with great graphics.

I came from an Xbox 1 original and I can definitely see the snappiness and the better graphics than the Xbox 1. It fits nicely in the current spot of the old Xbox 1. I was leading toward the Series X, but do to it’s high demand and the ridiculous prices from other merchants this was a no brainer. All my games are digital anyway so that along was a plus. The remote have a good texture in my hands in comparison to the old Xbox 1 remote. Say goodby to that brick for power as well the Xbox Series S only had a single cable to supply power. This is a must if you are in my current situation coming from the original Xbox 1.

I’m really impressed with the size of the unit and what it can do and it’s very quiet and the price is not bad. You will need an external hard drive. Other than that it’s amazing.

Without the drive for disk game is a not a problem and price is less the the x style. The speed and loading is super fast. Definitely great at what it can do. Recommend it,

Nice console. Cheap and compact also. Plays the same games as the series X at a lower resolution. If u don’t have a 4K tv then this is the next gen Xbox you are looking for.
