Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass.

    I mean, after the system software, the available memory is only 265 GB, and it takes forever to install games, and the "A" button on the controller is already sticking...but aside from all that, it's an amazing little machine!

    Great upgrade from my older XBOX s. 120 frames is smooth as butter, and it loads games much quicker too. Def worth the hassle of trying to buy one

    Wanted to see what the hype was about. I get the same excitement from my xbox one. Not much of a difference, but then im not a hard core gamer.

    Much better quality than previous one, loads fast. I’m getting some errors when loading some games. I’m really missing the disk reader, still have games disks from the older one. If you have a bunch of game disks and if you can wait for the X model, do it.

    Cheapest next gen console in the market. With XBox Game Pass you can play lots of games without a mess of discs. The small size is a plus.

    If you are on an older gen Xbox you will definitely love the upgrade. It's worth it to get this if you can find it available.
