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.

    Great console, much cheaper than the Series X. I'm not a big fan of digital only, but can't beat this price!

    A great console for the price the performance of the console is worth more than $300 and it quickly proves why the cost is way lower for what you get from it loading into games has never been faster and looked so good on console. The only downside I can think of would be the storage space but that’s such a small fixable issue with a lot of storage option available that I would not hold that against this console.

    Most of you don't need a Series X. No, really.

    The internal storage is a let down when your top tier smartphones can match it byte for byte. Other than that, this is a solid upgrade for 90% of the gaming population. You can't find a PS5 or Series X? Trust me, that is honestly fine. This console does so much well for so much less money that you really aren't going to appreciate the minor shortcomings. Don't take my word for it, watch side by side videos on Youtube. The quality isn't THAT much worse game to game. Spend half, then use the leftover money for a game and a controller. Then buy yourself a value meal from Taco Bell like you know you want to as a reward for your frugality. You earned it.

    Much better than I expected. I replaced my Xbox One X with this. This is much more powerful land the graphics are stunning. Load speeds are lightning fast. Controller feels more refined. The only real con is the lack of disc drive, but honestly it’s so much easier not having discs. Silver lining.

    Upgraded from an Xbox One S, and this console is far superior. Load times are amazing. Graphics don’t stutter at all. And it’s silent, like really, no fan noise at all. I decided to get this as a Game Pass machine, and I already feel like I’ve gotten the full value out of this console in a month and a half. Great next-gen console for a reasonable price.

    Great console just as good as the bigger X so long as you don’t mind not having a disc drive. Only gripe is internal storage, you can plug in any third party hard drive and use it for storage though newer games will have to be transferred onto the local storage of the console before playing.

    We have a Series X and a Series S. While the storage is lacking on the internal side of the S but my son eons play enough variety right now to fill it up as he is stuck on fort nite, and flight sim. He has an extrernal nVME drive hooked up so he can transfer S|X games from external to internal and vise versa. We will get him the 1 TB expansion for Christmas. This little machine runs games great and they look fantastic. Very glad we upgraded the One X to this.
