Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Xbox Series S's affordable price, ease of use, and excellent gaming performance. Many appreciate its compact size, perfect for smaller spaces or travel. However, some users point out the limited storage capacity as a drawback, necessitating the purchase of external storage. The lack of a disc drive is another aspect that some find inconvenient.

    I recently purchased the Xbox Series S from Best Buy, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my decision! As a long-time gamer, I was looking for a next-gen console that offered great performance without breaking the bank, and the Series S has exceeded my expectations.

    The Best Value In Gaming

    The Series S may be the little brother of Microsoft’s line up, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not perfect for you. For the average gamer than does not need the best of the best, this beats any console out there. The power it provides in conjunction with the size is incredible. This little machine was made to game. No, you can’t play all AAA games at 4K 120FPS, but that’s not what this was made for. It was designed for the average person to enjoy, not for the pixel-peeping refresh rate enthusiasts. It’ll play all games the Series X will, maybe just not as pretty or smooth. Most people don’t even own a TV or monitor that match the potential the Series X can offer. It’ll play games, surf the web, and consume content all day long all in a footprint that’s a fraction of the size (and cost) of the competition. Looking to get into gaming for yourself, your family, and/or your kids? Look no further.

    Good for the price. I dislike not being able to play disks but considering its $200 cheaper than the series x that's something that I'm willing to deal with. Runs games good. and at this point games online are about the same price

    Amazing console. Recently switched from the disc version to the non-disc version and see no performance difference at all. This unit is smaller and fits well under the flat screen. Highly recommend!

    Lacks the power of it's big brother the series X but still runs most games with little issue. In a time where series s and x games are more common, purchasing and S is definitely cheaper. Its the way to go if you don't have the money for and X and don't want to miss out.

    It's doing great, easy set up, very excited to be using our new Xbox! Our last Xbox we had for years, and it still works, but we wanted to upgrade, and are super pleased with the performance. Of course, the availability and convenience of the xbox was key in making the holidays.
