Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this when they had a deal for $249.99 with a free extra controller added, so that may have influenced my five stars. It does stutter a but in some 60 fps games but at this price point it doesnt matter at all.

Perfect for quick easy gaming, I like having the console. not a lot of space for games but I use it only for a couple of main ones

My son loved it, good games and graphics I recommend xbox series s

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

Best Buy was the only store I could find this system at! It’s much more responsive than last-gen consoles, I couldn’t believe the difference in load times and refresh rates. The new controller is awesome and has a ton more grip than the old ones. Overall awesome product and glad Best Buy had one in stock!

I have been a PlayStation guy all my life. Due to shortages, I decided to give this a go since I could find one. Oh Boy! This cute, small machine (it is small!!) is mighty powerful, very quiet, and the controller feels amazing. What sold me is when you combine it with gamepass—there is just no beating the value proposition: I have not bought a game yet, and for 15/mo, you have access to dozen of AAAs (100+ total games), and I find myself trying new game genres because it is for free; or you can stream them right through the console, like Netflix, but for games! Very happy with it. Just buy a rechargeable battery pack for the controller because for some reason, in 2021, they want you to put duracells in the controller...

I bought two consoles, one for each of my kids. I considered buying one Series X instead, but glad I went for the Series S. They only play o e game and are happy with the power of the console.

I bought the console back in December and today August 12. It still work. Its much faster than my other xbox one and it came with a control. Can't complain. 100/10 Recommended.

I was lucky enough to get the Series S before Christmas for my 11 year old son. He is quite happy with it. I was a little nervous about the lack of a disk drive, but it has been a non-issue. He uses the Ultimate Game Pass and uses the console as a way to play online. So far, it has been a big hit.

I bought mine used like new and it came liek it was brand new out the box. No problems, works great - definitely reccomend

First X-Box I ever owned, and I’m pleased. I also have a PS5 but each console has its advantages. Game Pass is totally worth it, and Dev Mode is a MUST if you love emulation.

So much faster it’s great it was so worth it. I was concerned but the speed of everything won me over immediately wishing a day. I loved my Xbox now I’m selling my old Xbox one S for 250$ today since I don’t need it anymore and I’m buying another Xbox series s

I have been looking forward to the new XBox Series consoles and the enhanced experience. After using it regularly since I purchased it, I have to be honest that I am underwhelmed. I do not believe that is the fault of the hardware, but rather the games (which I know will come). If your XBox One has died and you are looking for a new console, this is perfect. But if that's not the case, wait for the supply to go back up. PROS: (MANY!) • The price! The $300 price point is fantastic! I've read criticism of the Series S, but I think it is a wonderful price point to access "Next Generation" gaming and titles, especially if you see gaming as recreation. • The size - I continue to be surprised by how light and small this console is. (are you sure this is an XBox?) • Load times - with most games, (especially compared with previous generation hardware) almost non-existent • Standby feature - you can place your games on "standby" much like you can do with the Nintendo Switch. This works with most (but not all) games. • Improved graphics - You can tell the differences in frame rate and graphics textures on high definition televisions and monitors • Interface - The Series S/X interface, although similar to the XBox One, has some slight differences and modifications that make it even more accessible. CONSIDERATIONS: • 512 GB for a completely online console? That's like 4-5 "A-List" titles! (RDR2, Halo MC Edition, Cyberpunk 2077, SW Battlefront 2 and...what? Full? Give me a break!) • Gameplay - Despite the improved graphics and framerates, I still have not had the experience that makes me go, "Wow." Like I said though, I think that has much more to do with the games. Great games on XB One are still great games on the Series S/X. With that being said... • Games - Despite fantastic load times and improved interface, there just still is not that game that makes you stand up and take notice. Solid, good games with improved visuals. Recent trend of next gen games going from $60-$70? Not ready to leap that far yet.

Being the newest generation console for the xbox family it is such a new experience to how fast and beautifully pictured the new low cost xbox series s is.

Awesome if you want to go all digital especially with the Xbox app that allows you to stream all your games on your android phone and soon iPhones as well. No more Clutter of gang boxes or where are you going to store all those CDs swapping and changing games it’s so simple best decision I ever made

I’ve had it for 2 years and still works good! Recommend

I'm 55 years old and was in line at best buy to get the first gen Xbox! Yes, the "red ring of death" days! Xbox S is OUTSTANDING! I am having way too much fun with the S and my Wife loves it to...double bonus!!!

I had a series X but gave it to my little brother for christmas since his mom couldn't find one to buy in store. I missed xbox so I bought one of these, and besides the missing disc drive, it really has little to no compromises. Besides the most graphic intensive titles, this looks basically as good. If you played them side by side you could probably tell a difference, but its minimal and plays most games great. I think they could make this exact console but have a disc drive, and it would sell well. You can take all the other compromises over the series x, but having a disc is convenient. I do buy most games digitally but having the option, or finding a good sale price on a disc based game, is something you miss out on. Xbox digital store does have some good sales though, but not the quick price drop you see on new disc based games a week or 2 after they come out.

While the Series X is gold standard, the S provides excellent value. With GamePass (with cloud play!) remote play and excellent back catalog, this provides great gaming. Storage isnt great, but can be expanded.

This is my first ever Xbox. I’ve played Playstation my whole life and I’m absolutely floored by how similar it is and the ease of use for beginners. Gameplay also looks spectacular
