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.

    This gaming console was really easy to set up and the controller was simple to learn. I also purchased the Game Pass which is a great way to try out games. Really happy with this purchase.

    very impressive system, I was a bit hesitant to get the S over the series X, but have not had a single issue and am very happy with it. It is very fast and a great system. Not sure I would get the X at this point with how great this one is doing.

    I was waiting on Ps5 but got tired of waiting to be loyal too a brand and decided if an Xbox became available retail I would go for it!!! The only way to beat scalping is to never buy from them period!!! I love this Xbox I’m very impressed and would say don’t wait for ps5 or even the X, I know some hardcore gamers with 10,000 TVs say the X is better but I have a medium priced 4K 160fps tv and I couldn’t find a reasonable complaint as for space I have 4-5 games downloaded at a time and you can expanded storage easily if needed! Hope this helps one last thing be sure to get game pass ultimate and don’t pay for a game until you see what you can play there for free!

    This game console was bought for the wife. She loves playing her Fortnite game on it. The graphics are amazing, 4K is on point and being able the connect to the 5G wireless network gives her constant epic gaming experience.

    Love the Series S, and was able to get this one from BB for my son, since every new console is hard to get at the moment with demand higher than supply can handle. The machine does everything as expected, would buy again and from BB of course in the future.

    Purchased this Xbox for my boyfriend so we can both play FH5 when it comes out. He's been using it for a couple weeks now and so far no complaints. These are hard to find so I was ecstatic when I found Best Buy had them in stock near me.

    Excellent System! If you don't mind going all digital as I pretty much did with the Xbox One X, then you'll be fine. What amazed me most of all is how fast it is. It literally boots to a ready state twice as fast as the PS5 which I also have.

    It’s fast. Compared to the Xbox one S, the download speed is 4x better. Yes, the initial storage capacity isn’t great, but I’ve downloaded several games and I still have room. Only downside to digital games is that they don’t go on sale like physical copies do.

    Don’t let 512gb fool you! I downloaded 5 games, and have only 75gb left maybe better to go for the larger size if you want more games. Also seems to disconnect from Wi-Fi frequently, causing me to have to re-join my Wi-Fi and re-enter my password. Also some elements are very hard for visually impaired people to see. Be prepared to sit closer to the TV if you are visually impaired.

    First night with it, I am in love. I used to have an Xbox one s and I can tell that the series s is way way better by a long shot. Get game pass ultimate too by the way because you’ll have over a hundred games to choose from once you start using it.

    Xbox Series S has been a great upgrade to game system. When we got a new 4K TV earlier in the year, my old xbox graphics looked horrible on the new screen. The series S has crisp clear graphics to enjoy game system on big screen.

    I bought this for my son to replace his Xbox s. He uses a 1440p monitor and this is absolutely perfect! It runs at 1440p 60frames! One thing I really liked is the ability to run all you older items. Controllers, headsets, remotes, etc.... It boots up quick and the quick resume is freaking awesome. Perfect for PC monitors.

    From someone who was originally planning on getting the PS5 I missed out and instead settled on the Xbox series S. I planned on getting this eventually but not until later in the year however this console is a great system for both new and existing Xbox fans.

    One of the 3 “Next Gen” consoles. A great little console for the little ones to have instead of spending the extra money on bells and whistles kids don’t pay attention to. Bought for my son and he loves it. With console home sharing, he has everything he needs.

    I think we all know there’s literally a shortage on these. When I saw it in stock I had to hurry up and get it for my son. This is a fast console for the size literally don’t let the size fool you. It’s a great purchase and worth every penny.
