Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the new Series S. The price really isn't too terrible. Do wish it had a little more storage space because of how expensive external hard drives are for these, but overall worth it.

Glad I purchased this very small and love the no disc feature as it reduces clutter. The only downfall is the storage space but as long as your good with deleting and adding then it’s worth it.

Every game I play now loads super fast! High quality!

Great graphics. completely underrated. The system is much better than I thought. It is a very subtle difference in resolution between the series s and series x and even the ps5.

Great console very easy to set up doesn’t take much space very quick downloads

Great small Xbox with big power. Smooth streaming and great game play. Graphics are amazing. Games are looking more and more real every moment. Xbox is small and sleek looking. Not bulky like it's older brother

Upgraded from day one Xbox one. Much better of a console it’s night and day. Fast loads, solid frame rates, up to 120 on some games

I'm not the gaming type, however, my husband and 16 year daughter are and they love the XBox. It's great to see them bonding over games. I have played Just Dance on the XBox and that is so fun. We also purchased the game pass as well which works seamlessly with the console. My 7 year old nephew also loves coming over to play mindcraft. I guess, his auntie and uncle have street cred with his friends because we own the XBox!

Remember those old Xbox commercials from shortly after the original console launched in 2001? Well, the Xbox Series S reaffirms that there really is no power greater than X. Sure, you're not getting an optical drive here, but that doesn't mean that this system isn't anything short of amazing. I've played games on here that I also have on PC and I kid you not, I can't tell the difference between the two versions. If PC gaming isn't your bag or if space is at a premium (or both), then definitely look into getting this beautiful system!

I would definitely recommend this. I wanted a way to play Halo and other Microsoft exclusives on top of my PS5. This scratches that itch and truly is a next gen console in a small package

This console is FAST! My son got this for his birthday 5 months ago and uses it almost daily, he is always raving about how fast he is able to load up and massive updates only taking a fraction of the time compared to his old console.

Right when I opened it from the box it has a weird funky smell. No, it’s not the “new” smell. It’s like the new smell mixed with the musty smell you’d get from a house full of pets. Is it new? Refurbished? I don’t know, I had to wait almost two weeks for it to arrive so I’m assuming it’s new and the smell is from manufacturing? Other than that gross smell. It’s alright, does exactly what an Xbox is supposed to do; play games. 512GB is pretty limited, but nothing storage expansion won’t fix. The new revision to the controller that launched with the Series X|S is pretty nice and leagues above the old 360 controller I’m coming from. It’s also compact and quiet, has a nice modern look to it that doesn’t go all extreme. The upscaling doesn’t look all that great when compared to native 4K. You can see within the consoles Home Screen/menus options isn’t as sharp (yes, I know it’s target resolution is 1440p, but it does have the option to select 4K in the settings and no, I’m not using a cheap TV I have it hooked up to a LG CX). I intended to use this strictly for Game Pass so those short comings don’t bother me, except that weird smell. Makes you just wanna vomit, anyway, if you are bothered with the Series S’s shortcomings and want something more you are better off getting the Series X.

I havent had a xbox since the original one came out, but so far this xbox s is very small and load times and very impressive. This is plenty small enough to be mounted behind a TV on wall as well. Love it so far

An excellent console, fast and quality gaming. Only problem is the storage. Why Microsoft thought the discless version should have the least memory is beyond me. Another cash grab for when they release the expanded storage version later this year. (Maybe wait for that? Or just buy the Series X if you can afford that!) The idea of spending an extra 300 bucks on a sea gate internal storage drive is ridiculous in comparison to buying one Series X or even another series S for the same price. The console is fantastic, don’t get me wrong. If you’re only looking to play a few games (less than 400 gb if you’re including the space the base software requires) then it’s a great price compared to the other options. But if you’re playing X/S optimized games and plan on building a collection, maybe wait for something better.

Incredible console, good console for people who are about to switch to xbox. Decent size and good design.

Let me start by saying that this is not nearly as good as the Series X or the PS5. If you are someone who does not have a 120hz 4k tv, this is your system. If your worried about space, ask what games do you play and how many do you constantly play. I play a couple of Series S/X games but put all the Xbox One games on an external drive. So, this works perfectly.

Bought this as a gift for my girlfriends dad and he really likes it. It’s powerful enough to play optimized next gen games and able to do it free of discs which is one less thing he has to worry about. Out of the box, setup is very simple even for brand new accounts. Would recommend this if you don’t have a big collection of physical games and are okay with the less powerful hardware compared to the Xbox Series X as well as storage space. Other than that, makes a great gift for people who new to the Xbox ecosystem, especially with GamePass!

[Employee of bestbuy] Never had a amazing xbox that is fast and small. Good for saving space and dont need 4k for it

Great Console. Small, portable and best of all High performance. Don't expect XSX or PS5 kid of performance but very close. The only one thing I didn't like was the low capacity of the HDD..

The games are stunning compared to the regular Xbox One’s
