Customers are saying

Customers commend the Xbox Series S for its affordability, compact size, and impressive performance, especially considering its price point. Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    Purchased this Xbox for my boyfriend so we can both play FH5 when it comes out. He's been using it for a couple weeks now and so far no complaints. These are hard to find so I was ecstatic when I found Best Buy had them in stock near me.

    I would only recommend this Xbox only if you down own a Xbox One X. The Xbox One X is slightly better. I got lucky one day at Best Buy and they had the Xbox Series X in stock. So I returned my Xbox Series S for Xbox Series X.

    very impressive system, I was a bit hesitant to get the S over the series X, but have not had a single issue and am very happy with it. It is very fast and a great system. Not sure I would get the X at this point with how great this one is doing.

    I am highly surprised with this system. Works very well, loads games faster than my ps4 pro. Only thing I don’t like about it is the low memory. Would of been nice to have more system memory before adding an external hard drive.

    Not a bad deal if your looking for next gen console but are tired of waiting for the Series X to get restocked. It runs great and it has fast load up times. All in all its not too bad of a next gen console at all for the price.

    This machine is TINY! I mean I was shocked. It’s perfect for the kids and future proofs them for quite a while and you can’t beat the price. The only thing is memory but I knew that going in. As I said before it’s perfect for the kids who play one or 2 games

    Awesome console if you don't mind going all digital. Everything looks amazing on the screen and with the game pass I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything this generation.

    First night with it, I am in love. I used to have an Xbox one s and I can tell that the series s is way way better by a long shot. Get game pass ultimate too by the way because you’ll have over a hundred games to choose from once you start using it.

    Love the Series S, and was able to get this one from BB for my son, since every new console is hard to get at the moment with demand higher than supply can handle. The machine does everything as expected, would buy again and from BB of course in the future.

    I think we all know there’s literally a shortage on these. When I saw it in stock I had to hurry up and get it for my son. This is a fast console for the size literally don’t let the size fool you. It’s a great purchase and worth every penny.

    I’m not a fan. My choicea are kid games or shooting/fighting games. Not my idea of fun. I gave it to my daughter and bought a Playstation.

    The Xbox works and everything

    The Xbox works and everything but I was supposed to come with a 1-Month Xbox Game Pass trial, and 14-Day Xbox Live Gold Trial but those were missing from the box. Not as big deal but if it says it supposed to be there than you expect it to be since I paid for it.
