Customers are saying

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.

    Same product just paid less. I was super excited to find this bundle, after the Christmas sales. I paid $50 less and its brand new with controller. Very happy.

    This was a gift. I have one myself also. So since I haven’t heard Andy complaints from the recipient and I enjoy playing my series S then it gets a good review. I use it as my “Travel Gaming” console.

    I just made the switch from PlayStation. I was worried I wouldn’t like Xbox but it’s turned out amazing. System runs great. Great size.

    The Xbox Series S is worth all digital investment

    I had gone with the Xbox Series X back from begining of this year but unable to acquire the extra warranty and protection. So, i had sold it off for my living conditions ans downgraded to the Xbox Series S instead and happy i went this way. I don't have no space for physical media anymore as it's time consuming and regardless, i gotta download the game as the physical discs are placeholders nonetheless. So why waste $500 for an big box without no warranty. When i switched to Xbox Series S with the Best Buy Total Tech is worth protection of my investments into Microsoft. I'm an very satisfied customer

    Excellent piece of kit for a den, office, study or to travel with. SSD and CPU just as fast as the Series X and the compact size is remarkable. Perfect for game pass, 1080/1440p, for traveling or if value is most important.

    We absolutely love playing on the new Series S. With game pass, switching between games is instant. The system is small enough that it can fit anywhere. Highly recommended!

    It works just as well as the other BUT my greatest satisfaction is the size. It's small and fits just where I wanted it to be, with no fuss. Now I can take it with me when I travel and I don't need to carry with me any disc to play...I just connect it to a TV, hook up to the internet, and BOOM...game on. The only thing I take along is ssd where I keep my large games like the aircraft simulator.

    This review is only after the reveal of the new black xbox series s, which will have a better storage capacity (1TB compared to ~300GB) than the original. It is still a good buy if youre not planning on playing a lot of games, but if you are save for the black S.

      Hey there,

      We couldn't be happier to hear your son is loving his new Xbox Series S Console! 23/7 may be a little too much time in-game, but who are we to judge. We're thrilled he is enjoying hours of exciting gameplay with his new setup! Thank you for sharing your story with the community. We appreciate your feedback, and are glad it was a good investment for you and your family.

      Happy Gaming,

    I have a switch oled and it costs more yet not quite as powerful. And I get that Nintendo markets and appeals differently. But this system performs awesomely!
