    Best bang for your buck game machine. Best to get an external drive for storing games. $219 is too much for the Xbox expansion card, especially being only 1 TB. Looks good on my 4k Tv. Lots of good games on Game Pass.

    Got this for my son who loves it and the feature of having disc free gaming is perfect because he never loses a disc never scratches a disc. Access all games on one service that I pay for monthly and I never have a complaint from him. I do recommend it

    I had gone with the Xbox Series X back from begining of this year but unable to acquire the extra warranty and protection. So, i had sold it off for my living conditions ans downgraded to the Xbox Series S instead and happy i went this way. I don't have no space for physical media anymore as it's time consuming and regardless, i gotta download the game as the physical discs are placeholders nonetheless. So why waste $500 for an big box without no warranty. When i switched to Xbox Series S with the Best Buy Total Tech is worth protection of my investments into Microsoft. I'm an very satisfied customer

    It works just as well as the other BUT my greatest satisfaction is the size. It's small and fits just where I wanted it to be, with no fuss. Now I can take it with me when I travel and I don't need to carry with me any disc to play...I just connect it to a TV, hook up to the internet, and BOOM...game on. The only thing I take along is ssd where I keep my large games like the aircraft simulator.

    21st Birthday and my gaming son wanted the new Xbox Series S. Loves playing Madden and the new College Football games on it with his friends. Doubles as a smart device letting him get on NetFlix, Max etc so he does not need a Smart TV at college.

    I have to admit that I wasn’t sure this console was going to live up to my graphical expectations coming from PC. I was dead wrong! Games still look great at 1080-1440p on my 4K TV. All of this from their smallest console ever. The ssd has only 364gb of usable space and it fills up quickly because game pass is awesome. It only feels somewhat warm when I place my hand an inch away from the exhaust so thermals are kept under control. The redesigned controller is a nice evolution of the existing Xbox one controller and the D-pad is much better with more matte plastic material. The UI is just ok and could use some improvement. For the money, Microsoft did a lot right and I salute them. This console reminded me that gaming is more than just graphical fidelity.

    For the price is one of the best console out side, digital only, but if you’re going to play only Game Pass or games that you have in your library, this is your choice

    As advertised, new gen Xbox. Quick resume into games and shows is great. For the quality of machine in its package size is a real bargain. Can’t go wrong here. Only complaint is the limited storage size, but you can’t really complain about that for what it is, and that information is up front. Best option is also buy the storage device that allows you to immediately play games off of the storage device without redownloading.

    Great console, poor communication and packaging

    After wanting the Xbox series s for over 8 months now, I have finally purchased it on the 4th. The console booted up faster than ever and the quality of the console is outstanding! Although the console is and was well worth it, it was a pain trying to communicate with employees on when its arriving due to UPS and BestBuy saying different delivery dates and status. I tried calling support to fix this issue but the employee on the phone had very poor attitude alongside hanging up the phone right after. When I got the console, I was going to video tape unboxing the console until I saw the extreme damage to the box. There was a hole inside of it and the box looked like its been shipped and used multiple times. With the poor communication and poor packaging, I doubted it would even turn on. Nevertheless, it turned on and was a complete mood changer. I was set up in less than 10 minutes and playing games within a hour alongside with the complete powerhouse technology. It is record breaking, not only the size of the console (being the smallest console ever) but the technology built into it. I would recommend this console over all the others due to the portability of the console and the power to the console. There is also that hefty 200 dollar price differential. Although it is a great deal, have caution while buying it from BestBuy, at least I didn't have the best experience!
