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.

    Amazing value for a console with a surprisingly amount of power. I used this Xbox as my secondary Xbox and put it in my bedroom. It really is a great machine for gaming and for streaming and is super affordable.

    Just as good as series X. Not exactly all the super high end add ons but it loads super quick and keeps up with my series X. Plus you can actually find them in stores lol

    As a gamer who appreciates all console this one is extremely well. Besides the memory storage issue for the price you cant go wrong with this. I have the series x as well and the difference is minor.

    I got it from the open box store because they had it priced wrong which was lower than it should have been so it was a win for me.

    Excellent piece of kit for a den, office, study or to travel with. SSD and CPU just as fast as the Series X and the compact size is remarkable. Perfect for game pass, 1080/1440p, for traveling or if value is most important.

    This product works great, very satisfied with the purchase. Highly recommend. I originally wanted a series x, but no longer. The size is perfect, no overheating. Set up a cabinet fan in tv stand keeps it cool.

    excellent bang for your bucks but leaves a little to be desired. The 512gb hard drive fills up quick and with the 200$ expansion card price it makes more sense to go with the x for more power and a 1tb hard drive.

    YES! There is nothing bad to say about this. It does what it’s supposed to do with fluidity. Very quick to load games and has a decent amount of storage. For this price this is hands down the best console.

    Honestly great console, If your looking for an upgrade from the Xbox One S | X this is the perfect console for you if your on a budget and didn't play too many games. If you do have a big collection of games or disk games I'd suggest getting the Series X. Really the only downisde of this console if the storage but you can easily purchase more for it.

    My son recently had his Xbox One lay down on him. The series x impossible to find but just happened to check Best Buy and they had 1 of the series S in stock. He came home and began downloading some games(no disc drive). He loves the series S. The only wish he has is that it was a full 1TB instead of 512 GB. That storage space is precious especially with the expanded drive $200+

    Terrific console. I am pleased with bestbuy customer experience. They were aboe to stock the item and were aboe to offer free 2 day shipping. I would encourage to go with bestbuy and support them over other commerce giants.
