Customer Ratings & Reviews

After weeks of searching for it, I was finally able to get one for my son. He loves it. Great images. His old Xbox360 broke down the week before X'Mas so it was the perfect gift.

To preface, I'm very happy with my Series S. It's super small and portable. The SSD is so much faster than the SATA II disk drive in the xbox one x. The new features like quick resume and remote play are awesome. This would have been a five star review IF Microsoft had chosen to give the device more than 370-ish GB of usable storage. Current gen games take up 100-200GB of storage space in some cases. If games remain the same size or become larger the series S will not be future proof. The solution is to buy the wildly overpriced $220 1TB expansion card if you want SSD speeds, or buy a third party external drive and plug in via USB. With the Xbox One X Microsoft used what was at the time 10 year old storage technology. Microsoft just doesn't seem to understand how to properly implement storage into any of their consoles or they are knowingly trying to squeeze more money out of us. As of writing this I've filled up all of the consoles storage and 1TB of external storage. I refuse to purchase Microsoft's external SSD out of principal. The console really is a leap forward, I just don't appreciate when a company makes a conscious decision to do something that is extremely anti consumer.

Love the small footprint of my Xbox Series S. No external power block required because power supply is built-in to the console. Backward compatibility, so plays most old Xbox games too. Fast load times so you can get to gaming right away. 512 Gb Internal storage only good for storing a few games, so need to get external drive for which you will sacrifice slower load times. Excellent upgrade from older Xbox One. But if you want better features and graphical enhancements, get the Xbox Series X.

Worked as expected! Nice and brand new! Nothing negative to report!

I grabbed an Xbox series x on release and have been enjoying it. However, my nephew wasnt able to so I grabbed him a console to get him into the next generation. This console doesn't have all the bells and whistles of its bigger brother, but you are getting the next generation perks without the resolution. This is perfect for someone still rocking a 1080p display. Now, it does upscale on a 4k TV and it's marketed as a 1440p machine, but this is really for 1080p displays. I played this on my nephews TV and it looked great. The thing about this new generation is SPEED. The games and worlds load so fast.a great purchase.

This is an excellent machine for the price. The Xbox Series S combined with Gamepass Ultimate may be the best deal going in gaming right now. If you’re on the fence just know that the price to performance is there. You’re getting a great product. The SSD alone, while not huge, offers such an increase in performance that it makes it worth the upgrade from something like the One X. It may not be as powerful as the Series X, but for someone on a budget, doesn’t have a 4K tv, doesn’t care about 4K, or just simply can’t get there hands on a series X or PS5, you’re making a great choice with the Series S!

This system is great for kids that lose and damage game disk also It helps have a cleaner looking game set up as all it comes with is a hdmi and power cord.

Games load extremely fast unlike the xbox one the quick resume feature is great for people that flip flop between games bringing you straight into the action

Never had much interest in the Series X but I did want the Series S for the sake of upgrading, and to enjoy its new features without breaking the bank. 100% worth the money and especially with features like Quick Resume and the Quality/Performance Mode support for games. Use with a 144Hz Monitor and you’ll never wanna play anything with 30 FPS again. If you’re really looking for something excellent with more storage, go for the Series X, good luck though. However, if you want something just as good for an affordable price, I 100% recommend you get the Series S.

For the price i loved the system and i can play all the games i love

Excellent console especially being next gen at an affordable price.

easy set up. My son wanted this for his bday. ordered online and picked up at store. Easy process. Arrived and shortly after the system was delivered outside.

slow but good experience. better price than ps5. gamepass way better

Best gaming console for low price and best fits for those who don’t play very often and for those who don’t expect super high display resolutions.

I love this console. I had to return it cause I got an Xbox series X but honestly this is a great deal for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on a “next-gen machine”. I know you can’t do 4k with this console but you can play at 1440p 120hz with this console and my favorite part is how small it is. Its a very quiet console, and you can play cloud games. Also, it’s usually on sale for 50$ off. Sometimes you could even get it for 200$

I brought for my grandson, he loves it, i love to buy everything for my house in best buy because have the best products

Great product! Last long! Gamer satisfied all smiles

Easy to set up although I did have some glitches to work through. Couldn't sign up for the game pass ultimate so I will need to contact microsoft. Wanted to get the X but none were in stock. Also need to figure out how to make additional avatars. Much easier on the old xbox 360.

The game was what we expected, my son was very happy to get it and even more so because when picking it up at the store it was really easy

Not sure why MS brought this machine to market. Who is it exactly made for? Resellers, emulation junkies, hardcore gamers or casual gamers? Basically this is old gen with limited storage. The machine is slick and compact though. The controller isn’t bad, although it takes batteries. You can by a rechargeable battery pack, which I will invest in. Some of the old games for this are very expensive. I can buy the disc games cheaper. You can find some great deals though. I picked up Batman AA and Batman AC bundle for under 5 bucks. One game took up about 9% storage. I guess if you’re into older games you might like this. So this won’t be for everyone, and I wouldn’t pay reseller high prices. If you can wait I would pick up the Xbox series X. I can’t see long term value in this machine. Also Best Buy didn’t pack in shipping box. They just wrapped it in plastic. The box arrived in bad shape. Luckily MS designed a great box, the machine was cradled safely. I would pick up in store if you can.
