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.

    Xbox has good exclusive games and slso supports 120 fps on new fen games. However if you want Spider-Man or GOD get a PlayStation they are around the same price. IMO tho xbox on top.

    I own the previous xbox one S and the only difference that i notice was the loading times. Games definitely load faster on this little box. I didn’t notice any graphic performance from the previous generation. I own a 4k tv with the newest generation 2.1 hdmi port and I didn’t see any significant graphics changes.

    Microsoft has hit a homerun. This is a great device for the casual gamer, for the kids, or like me, the person who primarily games on another platform but still wants access to xbox exclusives. I haven’t played any true next gen games on it yet but I’m sure it’ll be fine. Loving the quick resume feature!

    I couldn’t get the Series X or PS5 so I jumped on this at the first opportunity and it is a major upgrade from my OG Xbox 1. Quick Resume and FPS boost are everything and Im fully digital anyways so I don’t care for a disc drive. If ya still can’t find a X get this!!

    Had this for about a 2 years and it's still works great, never had any issues with the console OR the controller, and getting 1440p gaming for about $300 in honestly a no brainer.

    It’s so clutch that stores have 100 of these. I was eager to get back into gaming and this made it easier with it being a next-gen console

    I really wanted to get the X series so I grabbed it with no expectations. This little one is powerful and plays amazing. I have a 1440 monitor so this ended up being a great purchase. The only bad thing is how you can't buy games or trade physical games.

    Great system little system. I went from a one s to this and the user interface is exactly the same. So visually I couldn't really notice that I just upgraded to the next gen system. However, it is much faster at loading. Nearly instant in a lot of cases, the download speeds are faster and the controller has some subtle changes that make it feel nicer. I am surprised by the lack of exclusive games, but I typically use the Xbox for the apps available such as apple tv that aren't available on my TV. My son loves it, he can tell that it's better than the one s.
