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.

    everything came new exactly as expected the series s is definitely faster than my og 500 gb xbox one from the first launch. this only has 500 gb which i didnt mind because i have a 3tb hard drive but unfortunately any games i have on my hard drive tries to download the “upgraded version” onto my xbox and theres no way to stop it from doing it automatically without turning off auto update. super annoying but i needed a new console and games do load quickly and it works great just that one annoying thing. not to mention one of the only places to buy for $300

    I just got the Xbox in the mail today. So far with the few games I installed on it, it runs great. Everything opens really fast. I connected it to my 55 inch 4K TV, which doesn't support the full capabilities this is capable of; the picture quality is great still even though its upscaled to 4K from 1440P. The colors are more intense compared to the Xbox One S that I was upgrading. It does run hot when in 4K mode but it doesn't seem to be an issue. I do wish the internal drive capacity was a lot more though, since newer games take up more space.

    So happy for the low price system!! I love games but don’t have time to play often so spending $600 on a system doesn’t make sense. Only downfall is with no disc drive, no chance to trade games in.

    I purchased this for my son’s birthday, but my wife had already purchased the same product from Best Buy. I was able to return the Xbox to my local Best Buy and while I was a day or two late to do so, the customer service reps gladly helped me with the return! Great associates, very helpful, and very kind! Best Buy is a great business!

    A solid new generation console... as long as you don't want to use a disc or game in 4k. The Xbox One X may be a slightly better buy at this price range though.

    Worth it to get if you’re a casual gamer. I got this version for a friend and wish I’d have kept it for myself. Getting the game pass is also recommended.

    Great second Xbox for your desk

    I've been using this as a second xbox that's connected to my monitor of my work desk. I use a Mac for work but when I want to take a break, I switch my display to the xbox and I can game immediately. It's small, unobtrusive and serves as my primary gaming device when I'm playing games solo. I have a separate Xbox Series X in my family room attached to the TV which serves as my primary party/media consumption device. Only thing to note is that you can't be logged into xbox live with the same account on both devices at the same time. It will log you out of the other device.

    Best purchase I have ever made with Best Buy. It was the best deal and my kid loves playing with the Xbox. I got it for him Christmas and he was very happy and was excited to get one. Overall the product came in and was not damaged nor was it ever late and is the best thing I have bought, I highly recommend buying it as it is an amazing product
