    Amazing value for a console with a surprisingly amount of power. I used this Xbox as my secondary Xbox and put it in my bedroom. It really is a great machine for gaming and for streaming and is super affordable.

    I originally bought this for the master chief collection, but ended up buying other things I grew up playing when I had my 360. My only complaint so far is the controller. It feels good to hold, but the logo button is unresponsive at times and takes several presses for it to do anything.

    Unless you are a hard core gamer & need all the whizbang, this unit offers, imho, about 90% capability and at a lower cost. Stick a HDD & you can save your games as well. Happy with the purchase. Stress buster dfntly.
