Customer Ratings & Reviews

A very good video game console for the price. Yes it would be nice if it had a blu ray drive but for the price it's hard to justify it. Yes the trade off is that you need a subscription to play online and buy digital games but on the bright side there is more space on the shelf not cluttered with media. The only other sore spot was the on board memory 365GB , darn Microsoft couldn't you make this at least like the playstation and have 667 GB minimum since some games are huge.

This console is perfect if you are looking for a cheaper next gen option. My kids have this, a ps5 and series X. The S is honestly just as good, it looks and plays awesome on 4k tv's, i cant tell a difference in which system they are playing. You can barely see a difference in 1440p and 4k. Storage isnt really an issue as most games are playable through the cloud. You can also just add a cheap usb thumb drive to store all the games that arent X/S enhanced. Highly recommend..

Great new gen console! Its small! The perfect size! Its fast! You need to get if you dont have a new gen console!

My son loves the Xbox. I had the original one when I was younger and it still works.

I have always enjoyed Microsoft Xbox products. This console is smaller than a guy would think. Performs well also

Good console nice and small for the price very good fps numbers for its size

So I bought this as a second system and not regretting it even though it is another 300 dollar chunk of change. I was lucky enough to get a PS5 shortly after release. I mainly went with the PS because I felt as a gaming system it is better because of the exclusives. There are a bunch of stuff that bug me about it though. Being and audio visual guy I don't like the PS pretty much always has HDR on and the sound is not passed through . Which I would much rather have my receiver handle the audio and HDR trigger when needed. Also the streaming apps on the PS very crappy and limited amount of apps. So I did a little homework on Xbox and how it is much better for streaming (also had a Xbox One so had some idea) . Thought I could just pick one of these up with out it taking a ton of time and effort and it's cheaper. This hits all marks for me so much I kind of wish I went with the Xbox Series X and never got a PS5 . Although at the end of the day the PS5 does have the games that you can't get on Xbox. For example Spider Man and a new Wolverine game is in development. I also have a kid that games more than me and wants those games. This is a great little all in one system for me though. Basically put the PS5 in a different room so I don't get kicked out of the man cave as often. I am a very casual gamer but as I said earlier Audio Visual is important to me. This is great for streaming. The quality is there HDR is only triggered when needed and you can tell it to pass through the sound so the receiver is handling the decoding. Basically I don't have to leave one input to do all I want. Go watch a show xbox. Watch a movie xbox. Play a game xbox. Plus the game pass is mostly all I need to play just a game here and there. My advice is if you don't care about the exclusives go with this or a series X. The biggest problem I would say with this is the storage space. You start off with less then 400 GB. That being said though you can use a USB 3.1 drive to expand the storage . Super simple and cheap. You will increase load times so if the super quick load times are important to you then you will need to spend a good amount on their official drive that matches the speed of the internal. I would highly recommend this if: You are looking for a more all in one system You don't care about gaming in 4k Don't care about exclusives And if you do care about gaming in 4k and not exclusives I would go with an X.

Best Xbox I’ve had so far it so easy to use and a much better Xbox and a significant upgrade!

Great product, as expected! Super nice simple design. No issues!

Works extremely well doesn’t overheat very fast gaming and connecting and easy to haul around

Worked great. Easy to set up. Worked fast and my son loved it

What I like about this concole is that it is small so it can fit any when and its price for 299 is so good. I also like how it has really good graphics on every game and it this concole is the one who loades in everygame the fastest.

Really nice works really well, I love playing 2K and All open world games. Very good resolution on 4K TV’s as well. Overall great buy!

I was skeptical about getting one because I already had a PS5 but wanted this Series S for Gamepass and Emulation. Oh my what an aamzing device! I even bought the OG MW2 and been playing backwards compatibility games. You will not regret this little machine! I have also been playing a lot of PS2 games on this unit through developer mode. Must buy!!

Love love love this system. Haven’t been able to get off since I got it! Highly recommend!

Got this for our son, he absolutely love the speed and graphic capabilities. Has not stopped playing it.

Great purchase! Basically brand new in the box. Everything came with it except the hdmi chord. However, Best Buy did give me a $25 gift card to replace that mistake. I’ve had this Xbox since October, it is now June and it’s great with no problems. I did have stick drift on the controller that came with it a couple months after receiving. But stick drift is pretty common. Other than that 10/10 would recommend.

Im not gonna lie. This was my very first Xbox I have purchased in stores. Been a PlayStation user for years. At first setting up the console it felt very foreign to me but after a while and downloading a couple of games. This console is great!

We recently bought the Xbox Series S as a second console. Our other is a Series X. We got the S so we could play online co-op games together. We’d been playing games like Halo MCC on the Series X in split screen but wanted to get a second console to be able to branch out and play online co-op together instead of limiting ourselves to just the couch co-op games. I did some online research first for exactly what is needed to do this with only one copy of each game and one Game Pass membership. The setup is very simple and works really well. I decided to go with a Series S since getting my hands on another Series X is still hard to do. We have been very happy with the Series S. We’ve found we really like playing full screen in different rooms with headsets as opposed to split screen together in the living room. We sometimes trade off for who takes which spot but the gaming experience is the same regardless of which console I am playing on. The Series S is small and easy to hide in a wall bracket mounted behind the bedroom TV, so no additional clutter. The storage space on the S is a lot smaller than the X so I just keep 2-3 games at a time on the S and delete the old and download the next new one when needed. However, if you plan ahead, the small amount of internal storage is a non-issue.

Awesome! Works wonderfully. Love all the changes that were made and i love how small it is
