I love this thing. I didnt want to buy the series x because im mostly a pc player and the price. the series s is perfect to play “sports” games and the price is unbeatable

This was a gift for my son. He has been going through it the last couple of years. I am so proud of him getting his BA Degree and helping support his girlfriend get her Master Degree. He had been playing in the original Xbox that I bought him in college and to help take some of the daily stress off of him I surprised him with this new Xbox system. He loves it. He said his experience of picking it up and how quickly the games load has given baby boy a chance to relax and enjoy his new Xbox.

Got this as a very special Christmas gift from our nephews. Somehow they found out a Best Buy near them had series S systems a few days after Christmas, they didn’t keep it for themselves but gave it to me because they knew the new Xbox was something I wanted. Going for a Xbox one S is easy, we kept most of our games on portable hard drive so swapped it over. It feels a little underwhelming at first because the interface looks just like the Xbox one but man is it faster. All the old app work great, seem to load quicker and in some cases look better. Biggest gripe is the internal storage is too small, I know it’s cutting edge and expensive but it’s easy to fill up. For example COD War Zone and black ops filled the disk, when the update came the both could no longer fit. Do we bought the 1tb internal storage upgrade which is brilliant but expensive. Really cool how it installs and is ready to go. BTW COD Black ops multiplay plays much faster than the Xbox one edition, guess that’s to be expected since this Cold War was made for Series S &X not playing the old systems software. Really happy with it but still would like a series X. Still this does 90% of all we need it to.

This Xbox was bought as a Christmas gift for my son. He says it is “awesome” Thank you for having a good experience in ordering this Xbox and picking it up in the store.

While the Xbox Series X is more appealing to me (better 4k support, disc drive, black colorway), the Series S has a key super power: you can actually buy it. I found that Microsoft has really blurred the lines between Xbox One and Xbox Series, and the Series S performs a lot like a better Xbox One X. Nothing to complain about, but it also doesn't feel like an entirely new product. The styling is a little goofy but serviceable. The size is very compact and portable for a home console. Game Pass may be the best value in gaming, and this box is a great way to tap into that giant ecosystem of old and new games.

Amazing value. I have a PS5 with the disc drive and honestly I will be using this over that now. The controller is so much more comfortable and the Xbox games pass is the best deal in gaming out there.

Decided to buy this since I can never find the Series X. This little machine does not disappoint. I even received it early. Had a slight issue with the WiFi disconnecting every 20 minutes, but after I reset the console this hasn’t happened since. The connection is great, apps are fast and games load up in seconds. I am very happy with this purchase. I actually have most games digital so I could care less about not having the disc drive. I love how small this console is and quiet as well. The machine does not even get hot. You could easily take this with you out of town. I ended up buying the SSD expansion drive, which is pretty expensive so it was like buying the Series X, still I am very happy I decided to buy this. I figure they’ll be coming out with the pro version in the next few years, so I’ll probably upgrade then.

Hard to get my hands on one, but for it's price and the count of power it's capable of, this is a no brained for casual gamers. All digital does limit it, but game pass and streaming services make this console more than enough for me.

My son loves his new XBox. He sold his PS4 and bought another newer version XBox. We will buy another one when it is time.

This was a gift fpr my daughter she loved it and it works great

Great entry console. Packs a punch graphically into a cost effective package, if you can live without discs. Son loves it, no complaints.

Microsoft has done an excellent job with the Series X/S. The One S was pretty good, but this one blows the doors off that one. It runs pretty cool and it is really fast. Have yet to try connecting an external hard drive, but if it is anything like the One S then it should be a cinch. I also need to give tons of kudos to Best Buy for how they managed their new stock between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I managed to get a unit with time to spare before Christmas thanks to the "waiting line" they instituted to release stock during the day after they replenish some. It worked as advertised and made it significantly harder for the 3rd party re-sellers from buying-up the newer stocks. Many thanks Best Buy for the forward thinking and change to allow a more level playing field in acquiring these hard-to-find units. We had a blast in Christmas thanks to this.

This console is a game changer. Load times, FPS, temps you name it, this thing is rolling over the competition. I play pc primarily and use this when I have friends over. I notice similar load times to that of a multi-thousand dollar rig.

Very nice console, works great with my 4K LCD TV. Really like the new design on the Xbox controller, sleek and user friendly. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it!

Amazing console and a great upgrade from my Xbox one first generation. Would recommend buying has better graphics and is much much faster.

Great console that’s fun to play and cheap to operate. Nice to just buy digital games to reduce additional carbon footprint a bit.

Great console for price!! Would highly recommend for any new gamers

Best game ever. Not sure why they’re making me type so much, but yea, I like the console a lot.

I'll keep this review short and quick Pros & Cons Pros- -Great for emulation -backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 and XBOX games run at 1440p -Great for media playback -Price is decent for what this does however try to get this console on sale not full price Cons- -Backwards compatibility for xbox one games do not get any benefit aside from unlocked framerate games -Backwards compatibily for xbox one games it runs the xbox one games not the one X games for some odd reason when this console is cleary powerful enough to do so -Games optimized for Series S still run terribly as of this writing -I would only recommend this console for people with 1080p monitors UNLESS ur using it for backwards comp. for 360 and before games then you get the resolution boost to keep it short save ur money for the series X dont give in to this

Better deal than subbing to XBLU monthly and buying a console. A bit more expensive than buying 8x 3-month cards and a console.
