Customer Ratings & Reviews

Outstanding! I bought this console I believe about 2 years ago and it still just runs at incredible speeds and has very good graphics! Highly recommend!!!!

Just picked it up today. The console is very small but powerful. Super quiet. This new system downloads games super fast and loads way faster then the other. And games look so much better. Hope this helps people. Glad I upgraded to this system.

Small but powerful! this is great for someone who is a casual gamer

All around great system! As long as you aren't looking to game in 4K, this system is amazing! It starts up and runs very fast, and games load quickly! My only gripe is that it is easy to fill up the 500 GB drive, but it can be easily managed with external drives.

This console is fire it runs quick an graphics are amazing

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.

The series s paired with gamepass is an amazing value and one of the easiest ways to get into next gen gaming. While it doesn't pack the punch of its big brother graphics wise, it is able to handle 1080p and 1440p without a problem so its perfect for pairing with a 1440p monitor or a 1080p tv. The quality of life improvements like quick resume and the speedy ssd make a bigger difference than you might expect, youll never want to play on an older gen console again. I ended up getting a series x when i bought my 4k tv but I kept the series s to pair with an older 1080p plasma tv so I could play games with my son and also use it as a media player/streaming device.

Couldn't afford a gaming pc yet, so opted in for an Xbox mainly so I could play Fortnite, it works well, gets a bit hot after a while but I can play Fortnite so I'm happy. However no Bluetooth capabilities...

This is my fourth XBox in my lifetime (OG, One, One S, Series S). This one works great. It is quite a bit smaller than even the One S that it replaced. I have it standing on the edge to conserve desk space (be sure you place it away from the edge so that it won’t fall to the floor if you happen to tip it over). I have not had any problems with heat. Games run properly and pairing devices (Elite 2 Controller and Xbox Wireless Headset) work great. Only complaint is that you can’t attach an external USB SSD and play games from the external storage. All games must run from the built-in storage or the optional Seagate Storage Expansion that plugs into a slot on the back. :(

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

It’s amazing this is only $300. Most people’s eyes will not be able to tell the difference between 4K and 1080p when the game is moving, and you won’t notice any perceived lack of detail because you’re just enjoying the game . Get game pass to go with it, it’s amazing .

Loved it had for over 4 years still work good would it again

I puchased this as a second Series console for my basement and traveling. I had the Series X and PS5 already but I wanted a system that I could easily move for room to room. I was pleasantly supprised with the quality of this little system. Being that its $50 less than the Nintendo Switch Oled this is the cheapest of the current systems and dollar for dollar the best! When pared with a Gamepass subscription the value and affordability simply can't be matched. $10 a month for over 100 games with new ones added all the time beats $70 for a game that only lasts 5-6 hours imo. Parents should really consider this system if shopping for a video game system this year.

Paired with Xbox game pass, this thing is a great little machine. It's a serviceable machine for the next gen gaming and I'd have no problem recommending this to anyone looking to get into the next-gen console gaming on a budget. The one problem is the internal storage size. You can get the officially licensed expandable storage by Microsoft, or you can just get external storage and store more games on that. You'll have to move the games from the external to internal, but that's faster than having to redownload the games each time. However, if you like the idea of physical discs and true next-gen, I'd save up. This machine does well at what it is designed to do.

This is great if you have a 4K TV. I was a little put off buy the $299 price tag as to how much better it would be than my current Xbox one S but, the Series S is amazing with the graphics and load times. It’s definitely been a worthwhile purchase !!!

Great console for the price, storage not an issue unless you download a lot of games. Keep installed only the games you play and you will have no issue with storage. Performance is next gen for sure

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.

This machine is TINY! I mean I was shocked. It’s perfect for the kids and future proofs them for quite a while and you can’t beat the price. The only thing is memory but I knew that going in. As I said before it’s perfect for the kids who play one or 2 games

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.

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
