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.

    It’s not the best but for its value it great. I probably should’ve bought the series x though.

    Awesome. Fastest console I've ever played on. Small in size, fits great on my desk. Wish there was more internal space, but you may have to bit the bullet and by an external hard drive.

    Great machine and graphics updated tremendously. Note tha HDMI jack can go bad, so be careful (once its set up, don't move it around from tv to tv).

    This is not the Xbox you want. If you get the digital version you are probably going to get game pass. This thing has 360gb of usable HDD space... that means you can install 3-4 triple A titles. That's it. If you want more space it will cost you 220$. Save up and get the Series X. You will get 3x graphic capabilities, over 2x the HDD space, and a disc drive for all your games and movies.
