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.

    Son enjoys this Xbox. Works great, only drawback is this version does not have ability to play disc games so no ability to buy any preowned games to play on it.

    I've finally set this up and I have to say, this is better than my old PC tower for gaming and even better than my Xbox 360. I can play lots of my older titles on here and it doesn't require a lot of space.

    I gave this to my son as a gift for Christmas and he love it. The graphic are better and downloading the games are so much faster. I would recommend this new Xbox system to buy for first timers or upgrading your old system.

    Easy to plug in and play. No game disc laying around and quick loads. The game pass is awesome with 100s of games available. Kids love it and so do I. Especially good since Microsoft owns so many gaming companies

    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.

    The entry level next gen console is a dream machine. Pair with this game pass and it’s potential is unlocked. Be mindful of the internal storage however as it only comes with 384 GB of immediate use

    Great system. I'm a Playstation user and have a PS5 that I use as my main gaming system. This is a nice addition for our upstairs bedroom. It can stream most apps you need. Be prepared for low storage issues.

    So happy with this console. I would recommend to a friend. If you turn on notifications for the Best Buy app, you can get notified when they restock quicker. I would say this is a perfect office console.
