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.

    Very smooth faster loading than Xbox One. More stable on internet. I wish the memory was bigger for my purposes, but this is a great machine and a big step up in processing power and performance!

    After not being able to obtain the Halo Xbox (due to non-notification of times it's being sold) I spoke to an employee and was able to purchase this one. And have no complaints

    Most games will play at 60fps and some play at 120fps but overall it is a very capable console as anybody who is doing 1080p gaming, this console is perfect for. It also has GREAT VALUE

    Amazing value but small internal storage

    This console is able to play all the same games as the Series X, just at a lower framerate and/or resolution. The only thing that I didn't like is the internal storage is only 500GB and only about 350 is usable... for an all digital console, it really needed to have 1TB of storage.

    Much easier to set up than originally expected. My 10 yr old and 6 yr old were so excited to play sports games. Only disappointed that digital is the only way to access games

    Great console, after about two months of playing I don’t regret buying this console instead of the series x, I don’t need to much storage for the games I play so this console was perfect

    Had it for over almost 2 years before i decided to sell it. The storage is definitely lackluster but you can buy their ssd for more space if you need it.

    I was skeptical coming from a PC. But honestly the performance and convenience is awesome. The quick resume is amazing and storage can be expanded with an external drive.

    The greatest purchase from best buy yet. I love how the only real sacrifice made is the resolution. Great value and looks amazing on my 4k tv even if its a lower resolution.

    Very tough to get but well worth it! Both the series S and series X are leaps and bounds better than the last generation of consoles. The new graphics and frame rate alone is a huge improvement!
