    Great console. Sleek design. Smaller in real life than it looks in the photo. You can carry it everywhere. Games are fast and look great!

    My son is enjoying this game system, he wanted it as a Christmas gift but it didn’t arrive until after Christmas. Good thing he’s an adult.

    I had the original Xbox one day one so this was a upgrade with much faster performance. OS is the same so there is not a feel of new there.
