    Great console with a great price tag. Handles all new gen games easily and ssd is super fast. Definitely recommend but I would opt for the new black edition now.

    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.

    This console is much smaller than the original Xbox One I previously had, which is what my brother liked about it. It's perfect for him since he only buys digital games and doesn't want to swap out discs every time he wants play a different game.

    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.

    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.

    overall this is a good console for anyone who either doesn't care about 4k or that can't find a Series X or Ps5. games download quick, no framerate dips thus far, fast loading times. main issue i have is the storage. If you want to play games optimized for the Series S/X you will need to make smart use of its 364GB of usable storage or fork out another +$220 for the Seagate 1TB expansion card or get a lower spec HDD or SSD for older unoptimized games.

    It is working like a charm. Slipped it between my two monitors and sometimes I switch between my PC dual display to one monitor. Turn my xbox on to display on my 1080p 240hz monitor and bam! you got the best of both words. Shape and Size is perfect to fit on your desk!

    Series S offers plenty of present-day value considering it only costs $300. It's limited to 1440p resolution and has a claustrophobically small storage space, but it's tiny and quiet, with snappy load times, and can play games at 120 frames per second if your TV can support it.

    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,

    Great product and lots of fun. I enjoy it just wish for more storage from the start. I know it’s a 1tb model out now but I’m just saying.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    I’m really impressed with the power and quality of the Series S. I think it’s a great value compared to the PlayStation 5 and Series X. I’ve always owned a PlayStation in the past but this unit and game pass has won me over.
