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.

    Kept looking for the Xbox Series X but could not get a hold of it so I decided to buy this S series instead and it actually surprised me how awesome of a console it is. Downside is the memory to it which is about 340gbs but the resolution and the quality of playing games on it is still amazing! It’s also quite small and compact for its power!

Thank you best buy for fighting bots off so well and thank you Microsoft for such a good gaming service. Oh the ps5 was also secured at this same best buy again you guys are the best!

    Great system if you do digital only games and play on a 1080p TV. Obviously if you prefer physical discs or game on a 4K Tv, you’re better off saving up for a Series X.

    All though this counsel is an entry level for next gen gaming. It has far exceed my expectations. My only complaint would be that the storage is very low. Outside of that it’s an amazing system. Thank you to Best Buy for making the delivery very fast. I received my counsel before the suggested delivery date. I will be ordering from Best Buy in the future.

    Very fast load times and also very download speed clear 60fps on my 4K tv I can see more graphics and color on my sunset overdrive game that I didn’t notice before well worth price Only con: You don’t get 520gb on system you get 364.5 go so think smart of what games to download cause for example Gears Of War 4 & 5my favorite game is 100gb & 80gb plus and that’s with extra content

    The S is Better Than the X.

    Have had both a Series S and X. The S is a much better Value. Sure the X has 4k and a blue ray player. But that's all it has going for it. I have not played a game that has pushed the X and 2 years later still have not found anything to justify me selling my S for the X. Also the S is so much easier to take with you places along with costing you less on your electric bill. Thing is also super quiet.

    I haven't had a console since the original Xbox One and I decided to get the Xbox just because I bought the backbone. I love the fact that I do not have to worry about scratched disk and I can play the old Xbox games I loved.

    I purchased this little guy when it's big brother wasn't readily available. I was pleasantly surprised to find the Series S is a very capable console at 1080p. I played through MEDIUM (a native Series X/S title) perfectly fine on this console. The only shortcoming would be if you needed a disc drive for older games you own. But if your going all digital its a great deal.
