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.

    This is a scaled down version of the Xbox Series X. Its really not that bad though. We still get 4k60 w Forza Horizon. Be sure to pick up the game pass as well; its a nice discount. Also, we love that the unit doesn't take up too much real estate. The thing I don't seemingly like is the UI as its not that intuitive.

    The xbox series X’s little brother is no slouch. I feel comfortable playing the wide array of games available. First person shooters, RPGs, triple A games and indies this thing does it all for a very low and unbeatable price! It also is surprisingly small and easy to store. It’s not heavy but it surprised me by how solid it feels.

    The Xbox Series S is the premier nextgen console option for those not wanting to break the bank. You’ll have a hard time spending $300 and getting a happier return.

    A cheap and easily affordable next gen console. If you have any reservations don't... This is worth the money if you are trying to get into the Xbox/Microsoft echo-system.

    Good device. I’ve had only one problem and that’s the Wi-Fi connection. Sometime it disconnects and doesn’t show no Wi-Fis at all and won’t connect to no services until after resetting and turning, off and on.

    This Xbox is amazing! It’s small so it doesn’t take up a lot of space and it’s powerful. Compared to the Xbox one S there’s a big difference and it’s worth the upgrade.

    Great entry console to enter "XBOX Ecosystem". The load times are amazing compared to the previous generations. Paired this with game pass ultimate and it's perfect for a casual gamer. My only issue is the hard drive capacity. You get about 300+GB for games. Would definitely recommend adding an SSD for backward compatibility games.

    It’s wonderful for a open box item. If Best Buy’s other open box items are like this I will continue to buy them. The Xbox works wonderful no issues.

    It's a great purchase, no issues with it. I would suggest getting this with gamepass though, as it's quite the deal now that game pass ultimate can stream games.

    Great console for the price. Can’t store too many games on the console itself due to the hard drive size but still a great console with great graphics.
