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.

    I bought this console a month ago. compared to my Xbox One S it is way better. The Graphics, the time it takes to start the Xbox/games. Overall it is the best budget next-gen console in my eyes.

    The Xbox Series S is a wonderful console, especially for those on a budget. If you're looking to enter the next-gen fray, but you don't want to break the bank, I strongly recommended this console.

    Really nice graphics for games and streaming. I do miss the drive though and downloading everything takes too much time. It fits a niche market though and is an upgrade over the Xbox One X.

    Like the new UI and the quick resume is awesome. My only problem is that the games seem to get larger and larger. I used to be able to fit 4-5 games on my Xbox one s and now on my series s I can have maybe 2-3. Another issue is the expansion cards cost almost as much as the console does. It’s crazy that they cost so much.

    Love this Digital Edition. This was a gift for my husband and I didn’t know how much he preferred the digital edition. No more discs and scratches. I guess I am a life saver.

    This Xbox works great. No problems so far. Took forever to get one. Thank you best buy for not jacking up the price. I've actually started shoping more at best buy because I appreciate that.

    I love the xbox series s, good noiseless and very light and compact. The only thing I wish it could do the use of discs for playing old games in it, other than that good. Thanks BB

    Got this as my portable Xbox X|S Game Pass machine so I don’t have to take the X around. If it was my only console, I’d miss the ability to use physical media, but with Game Pass, it’s great

    Bought this for my son's birthday. It's not quite as powerful as the series x but this thing is still a beast for how little it is and for the price.

    This is basically a 1080p console alternative to the new series x. Its just as fast however most games will only do 1080p or sometimes less.

    Haven’t been able to use the 120 FPS feature yet because my tv only pushes 60 but it still runs AMAZING! Can’t wait to hook it up to a monitor that is able to push that many frame rates

    I’ve been a loyal PlayStation user my whole life and i still am but i bought the Xbox because of all of the exclusives that come with the game pass and overall I’ve been enjoying it but i will say that putting 2 AA batteries in the controller every other week is a joke. But the console itself in a whole is very nice it runs very quick and smoothly
