Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Xbox Series S is an amazing console. It is compact, silent, incredibly fast, and has so many noteworthy features to offer. Compared to the Xbox One X - my previous console - it boasts unbelievably fast load times, unnoticeable fan noise, a consistent and smooth FPS with no stutters, and far better visual clarity, all for $200 less than what the One X originally retailed for! I cannot speak to how the Series S compares to the Series X, but it must be a dream to use if the Series S is this good. The only drawback to the Series S that I can find, along with quite a few other people, is the storage capacity. Microsoft has been very misleading with the 512GB and 1TB claims for storage capacity on the Series S and X respectively. My Series S only comes with about 365GB of usable space, while apparently the Series X gets a beefier 800GB or so, but compared to 1TB that is still a big decrease. My solution to the low storage capacity on the Series S is to purchase a USB to SATA adapter along with an internal 2.5" SSD for a computer, I have gained an extra 500GB of room to play by doing this and it only cost about $60. Compared to the eye-watering price of $220 for a 1TB expansion card from Seagate, this external SSD setup holds far more value and flexibility at a drastically lower price. For the disappointingly low internal storage capacity, misleading storage capacity claims, and poor value storage upgrade options offered from Microsoft, I will be giving the Xbox Series S 4 out of 5 stars. Compared to my gaming PC setup that cost about $1,800 and features an Intel Core i5-9600KF 6 core processor overclocked to 5.0GHz on all cores, 32GB of DDR4-3600, and a RTX 2070 Super, I find myself thoroughly surprised at just how capable the Xbox Series S is. After spending a lot of time on the new Xbox, there is no question that the Xbox Series S - and Series X for that matter - offer an incredible value to somebody who is looking to get into gaming but still wants a fantastic experience. Even with the new graphics card from NVIDIA, the RTX 3060 Ti that costs $399, I don't feel that any PC can be built with new, current generation hardware to truly compete against either of the new Xbox consoles for having the best price-to-performance. Unless raytracing, 4k 144Hz, or the desire to stream games are priorities you have, then building a gaming PC almost seems wasteful to me when the Series S is $299 and offers 120Hz, 1440p, and a much more refined and simple experience.

This is probably the best console to buy for the money! Especially right now when its not even full price

perfect for me as a casual gamer and I have a lot fun with the game pass so many options to choose from

No complaints, its an xbox! Got it for my girlfriend as an early Christmas present and she has loved it

Good system. Should have gotten a series x. The s is good but nowhere near ps5 or xsx

Not a knock on best buy but a bit of a knock on xbox. This thing has frozen games on me at least 10 times since i bought. Not really a big deal to me. Just saying. I wanted something quieter than my ps3 and ps4. So far im very happy with that. Cant even tell it is on. Ps dont get scalped this is not worth more than $320 have fun

Not bad but not great… really don’t see any upgrade from the last generation system

The best way to get your foot in the door of next gen gaming. Great performance at an affordable price.

Best purchase for the amount of money. Very satisfied with the quality and would recommend

Everthing is great and it works really good. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy one

used it only for one day..no free stuff. need to keep that in mind

just a good game console. although I want to get an Xbox x... it's too difficult to buy.

System works fine but not much of a upgrade over last generation

This xbox is really good my kid is so happy , supper faster, smooth and quick resume is very helpful.

Purchased because the PlayStation is not in stock. This is a very good alternative

I love that it’s small and compact and I don’t have to buy the physical game because its all digital.

Not a big fan but I’m liking it so far it’s good and reliable

works great as a christmas presant to your self when you have no one that will get you anything else

I have a pc for my main gaming needs and use xbox game pass and for 240 bucks i couldn’t pass this up!

It’s really a good purchase no issues with it so far
