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 System

    Games look great and I love how small it is. Storage is enough for now. The only thing is that I do wish that I would have waited a little bit more for the Series X because it is nice to be able to buy used disc games for cheaper prices. There are a lot of games on Game Pass but I miss being able to buy new releases secondhand for much cheaper. For that reason and for the actual system differences, if I were to do it over again I would probably have just waited and paid a little more for the X.

    Great value next gen gaming console. Don't sleep on this little beast. Paired with Xbox game pass this machine is totally capable and very versatile. If you have the spare budget u definitely recommend the X for twice the storage space and disc reading capability. Overall a great device for anyone interested in gaming.

    This console is well worth the price. It’s runs very smooth and compare to the Xbox one X, there is no comparison. Only downfall is the internal hard drive is not big enough to store a full library of games, but this is not a big issue for me. I got this for the performance and it has been a super purchase for me!

    It is top of the line. I went from xbox one to this, well you can tell a big difference in graphics, and the playing part of the game is nice. You have a big thing like waiting for a game to load, not anymore. This thing loads ark great, it enhances everything. You can buy this and enjoy playing games all night long.

    The quickness of loading and downloading games or movies, the slimness of the console as well surprised me. The picture quality and frame rate is smooth and really happy with how I do not have a slow frame rate and with modern warfare I can see the finer detail of everything in game.
