Customer Ratings & Reviews

This machine is a great supplement to any gamers collection. If your not a super xbox fan and opted to get a PS5.... or to wait for one, then this is a great option. You get access to all the games you want through the game pass and you dont have to collect physical media for a system thats not your main or favorite.

Ugh may I say it…I actually like this console. I am a PlayStation girl so that’s saying a lot. From the game pass to graphics is great! I just wish I had more space smh the controllers are super reasonable but they do stick after a year.

Xbox Series S is a fantastic upgrade from previous generation consoles - specifically Xbox One. The loading speed, quick resume, ease of connectivity, reduced size, quiet operation and portability of the device are all big pros. This console is responsive without any real noise or heat issues that are noticeable with other consoles. At current price point of $299 this Xbox was a great option for upgrade to keep up with more powerful games. Minor cons include: -The internal 500GB (approx. 364GB available) hard drive mean users need to balance game files and usage vs. access to external storage devices or internet access. -The current SSD plug-in marketed for these new generation consoles cost almost as much as the console itself. Better off looking into HDD to cold storage games you are not currently playing and would rather transfer over instead of re-download. -Given it is an all digital device, no option for disc based games but there is easy access to GamePass as with other Xbox consoles. Overall very pleased with device after 6-months of continuous use.

This is a great gift for gamers of all ages. However if you have a true gamer, this is definitely not enough storage space and I would recommend getting additional storage perhaps 2 terabytes which you can also purchase from best buy. The set up was easy however it does require a phone that you can download an xbox app to complete the process. Purchasing games is an easy process so if you are purchasing for a child I would recommend putting a pin on because getting a refund for unapproved purchases is quite a hassle. Other than that this is an amazing purchase for the price point. Happy Gaming!!

This was my first console other than my xbox 360 and this is perfect!!! I love it so much and fun fact I brought this on the same day as elden ring but an year before

Decent little system. Allows you to play modern and previous xbox games at a reasonable price. Purchased with a game pass subscription and the number of games available is impressive.

I started playing video games with the Atri 2600. I have not have a system in a long time. I am blown away by the graphics and speed of this system. I have no issue with it being all digital. The Ultimate Pass is a total bargain.

Customer service made it really easy to pick up my Xbox series S, even looked up and answered questions i had about another product. When i got it home unpacked and plugged in the first thing i noticed was the video quality and how quick the load time was. Its perfect! Im obsessed with my new Xbox series S.

Xbox is very good but not having the physical games is a draw back but this is the way it is going now. Graphics are great. Controllers could be better. Got it specifically for FIFA and love it. Xbox game pass is a rip off now.

I have a beastly pc build and I previously bought the Xbox Series X when it first dropped. I sold the Series X becuase I didn’t use it but I missed playing Madden and MLB The Show! Picked this guy up and it’s been nothing but amazing!

It works great. No issues with any game so far. I don't have a $2,000 latest tech 65 inch big screen, but it looks great on my 55 inch Samsung. Loads fast, runs fast. I have game pass, so I'm not too worried about storage, but I'd like to see more storage options soon. Reasonably priced storage options. The only downside is the learning curve on some of the navigation and on how to play coop games. It's not obvious how to do splitscreen on fortnite or rocket league for example. I had to search on the internet to figure it out. Haven't had a console since the original xbox, however. My kids are young, still a few years from being teenagers, so they really don't care we didn't get the series x. They just want to play some games! Me too! Your kids probably won't care either. If they do... start teaching more humility! Ha! With game pass and 3 people in my house playing it....i might buy the series x next year to keep us from arguing over who gets to play what and when! Not disappointed with this purchase. I would do again.

The Xbox Series S may be the budget-friendly option, but it certainly doesn’t compromise on quality. It’s a powerhouse for its size, delivering next-gen performance without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a dedicated enthusiast, the Xbox Series S is a fantastic choice that exceeds expectations. In conclusion, the Xbox Series S has redefined my gaming experience. Its powerful performance, sleek design, and extensive game library make it a top-tier console in its class. I wholeheartedly recommend the Xbox Series S to anyone looking for a high-quality gaming console without the premium price tag.

I got the XBox Series S for my nephew and godson. They love it! They stopped playing their PS and moved onto the Xbox!

Was the best purchase i have made. Play it everyday and it is perfect for the room.

I bought one of kids one these 2 years ago he had been showing up his older brother which also plays on Xbox(One X) about his faster speeds in regards to frame rates

Bought this as a gift and it’s great. Do expect to expand storage.

I have the series X and wanted to get my Dad playing Microsoft Flight Simulator. He doesn't have a PC, so I got him the Series S. It has worked out perfectly! He's 78 and is able to navigate to play the game. I'm very happy!

Great console bought it for my 8 yr old and he loves it its easy to set up.

Was really happy with my recent purchase. Having an Xbox that I can take on the go without having to bring CDs with me or anything as much easier much nicer and I can use it with a portable screen. The great for your casual user

Like many, I was very skeptical about purchasing the Xbox Series S. The internal storage, lack of disc drive and all of the missing hardware capabilites made me really question on whether or not I should just wait for either the Series X or PS5 until I saw it available on Best Buy's website. After thinking it through, I decided to pull the trigger and it definitely is not a regret by any means. I purchased 2k21 which looks absolutely fantastic. I was a huge PS user during the last generation so I skipped out on alot of the proprietary games that were available on the Xbox One and was able to catch up on all of them along with downloading old classics dating all the way back to the original Xbox. I ended up purchasing an external hard drive (must have) to save a chunk of my games. I am playing games now that I completely forgot about from libraries I completely forgot existed and it is amazing. I love being able to relive my childhood and experience the new generation all in one console. For it's price of $299.99 this purchase was definitely worth it
