Where to buy the Xbox Series S: Restock updates for Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, Target and more - CNET

This story is part of Holiday Gift Guide 2020, CNET's gift picks with expert advice, reviews and recommendations for the latest tech gifts for you and your family.

If you're still frantically hitting "refresh" on your browser hoping to find an Xbox Series S for sale, allow me to paraphrase Corporal Hicks when he told Ripley to ease up on the accelerator in the movie Aliens: Sorry, you're just grinding metal. Microsoft debuted the Xbox Series S back on Nov. 10, and it sold out more or less instantly. It has continued to sell out right away whenever a retailer has managed to restock, including Best Buy's underwhelming restock just this week.

The Xbox Series S isn't just a powerful update to Microsoft's console franchise, it's the smarter of the two new consoles to buy. Priced at just $300, it's the little brother of the $500 Xbox Series X. It plays all the same games, but it's capped at 1440p resolution (versus 4K on the Series X), lacks an optical drive and has only half as much storage (500GB versus 1TB) -- but that's expandable with add-on drives, and Microsoft autoloads less ambitious textures to accommodate the difference. Our advice is that if you don't have a 4K TV this is the better console to buy, because it's more affordable and doesn't write a lot of checks your TV can't cash.
