Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was one of the lucky one to get this before Christmas. I enjoyed this very much faster then my old Xbox. As it didn’t have a cddrive I had to down Load all my games again. Took several days on my internet. I have also already upgraded the ram to 1 TB. It was full after only 4 games. That,s the only real thing I dined like about the machine. The games seen to run and load really fast. A cd drive would have really nice to have on this machine

Have had it for a little over a year I think and it still runs as smooth as the day I got it. I travel a lot so the small size of it makes it easy.

It compact the graphics are good and the speed is good

Console is okay, you will definitely need more storage. I can tell the difference in quality from last Gen but if you can afford it you'll enjoy the X version better. This one seems to be for younger gamers. I wish I would've bought the bestbuy warranty because the controllers go out so fast from usage. Microsoft doesn't cover them in the warranty.

I'm a PS fan, but. I'm loving this Xbox Series-S. Graphics look super good. Everything moves fast including the menu, loading times. The controller responds very quickly to input, zero lag. It's definitely better than my ps4 pro. My expectations were exceeded!

Amazing console, bought for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it, can never get her off the games haha. Would recommend to anyone, good fair price

I am highly surprised with this system. Works very well, loads games faster than my ps4 pro. Only thing I don’t like about it is the low memory. Would of been nice to have more system memory before adding an external hard drive.

Next gen gaming at a fair price! Wish Microsoft can produce more and be available for the upcoming holidays. Wish it had a bigger hard drive 500gb just isn’t enough since this is an all digital version so all games have to be on the hard drive.

Not a bad deal if your looking for next gen console but are tired of waiting for the Series X to get restocked. It runs great and it has fast load up times. All in all its not too bad of a next gen console at all for the price.

The Xbox Series S is fast, powerful, and affordable. Quick Resume, 120 FPS, and Game Pass make gaming smooth and exciting. I loved it so much that I bought one for my little cousin—he’s obsessed! Perfect for any gamer looking for next-gen performance in a compact, budget-friendly package.

Purchased for my god son. I have a series x and honestly after using both this is more than good enough for a casual gamer.

I will give a few quick cons then a pro. Cons: 1. Storage space. Period. Large next gen games, expect to only have 3 or 4 games installed at a time. The usable amount is not the 500gb. It was more around 400 I believe. The games are so large on next gen consoles and can easily fill up. 2. The system is good and next gen, however it is not a huge leap over the Xbox One X (In my opinion). At the price you are paying, the extra $200 for the Series X is literally a huge difference maker and I believe you would be better off trying to obtain one over this. I think it should be cheaper because the gap between the consoles is very significant. Pro: Ray tracing. This is what the Xbox One X did not have and will be the most noticable thing from the jump to the Series S. It is beautiful, however runs better on the Series X. Again, my opinion. Overview: All in all, I wish I would have bought two Series X consoles over one each. The Series X has a 1Tb SSD and the useable space is up in the 800s gb. So there is more potential there. I would only buy this console if it were for a younger child who can't tell the difference in gaming and you wanted to get them on the next gen systems, but don't be surprised when they complain about harddrive space.

Awesome machine, the only problem I have with the new series s/x is the game storage. For the series s the storage is nothing. They are kinda forcing you to get the 200 dollar ssd storage expansion. The machine runs nicely and smoothly and if it weren’t for the storage I would give this a 5 star. ALSO IF YOU HAVE A EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE, GAMES WONT WORK UNLESS ITS MOVED INTO THE XBOX SERIES S’ STORAGE.

I watch youtube vids on this console and still couldn’t believe how small it was in person. Amazing. Fir perspective it’s half the size of xbox one s. More power, hardly any loading times and this is actually in stock.

My oldest son didn't want the console at first but he's really enjoying it. Best part is I don't have to worry about disk being missing or scratched up, also can't beat the price. If you don't already own a xbox and not so it's attached to a disk drive this is your best option the disk drive is the only big difference between the two anyway

Great console, was lucky enough to find one a few months back and have no complaints at all. It’s fast and the graphics are amazing on this thing. I also love the new resume feature, saves time from having to start up the game all over again.

I absolutely love this game. I love the Best Buy. My experience there is awesome. Never have any complaints.

Don't let people tell you otherwise, this is an amazing little piece of hardware. I already had a Xbox Series X and I wanted to add this one to my upstairs loft and it does not disappoint. Fast load times, 1440p resolution and 60fps are all possible with this console. I have my older games on an external drive so there is plenty of storage. For games that take advantage of the advanced features this console is capable of, I have installed on the internal storage. I already have the Segate 1TB expansion for my Series X and if there is a game I want to play upstairs, I simply plug it in to the Series S and away I go. The value to cost makes this console a must have!

Excellent if you have unlimited internet plan and can redownload whatever games you want to play at the moment since the hard drive is small, but it’s fast, and looks decent, however I’d recommend the series X instead and the 1tb expandable memory.

My husband was shocked when he got this for his birthday. He plays nonstop!! Loves his new Xbox. It’s fast. Hardly any lagging compared to his old one. Very nice sleek design.
