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.

    Excellent product and excellent service from Best Buy. The only thing missing is a disk drive so I can use my collection of compatible games on disk. Very happy with my purchase.

    This is basically a device for furthering the Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, but it's a great device for that. Tiny yet capable and at a good entry price.

    Purchased this to play MS Flight Simulator, Compared to PlayStation I’m not very impressed. The controller quit working after only 2 weeks. Had to call Xbox support to get a new one under warranty. PS controllers are strictly rechargeable which I much prefer. Also the Xbox network has already had outages in the month since purchase. That only happened once every couple years on PS.

    Its perfect for casual gamers. Great quality and good enough collection. I know why MS is doing it- to boost sales- but the space is too low

    Coming from an original Xbox One. Awesome system for the price, works well for me as I don’t have a tv that would fully display all the Series X can produce. Game Pass Ultímate is a must.

    Bought as a gift and they loved it. Great alternative if you can’t get a series S. Other than low storage, nothing bad about the console. Great value for the price.

    This little system is great companion for 1080p and 1440p gaming monitors with high refresh rates, I currently have a 1080p/ 165hz gaming monitor I use this on and I couldn't be happier.
