    Awesome for the price. Great upgrade from a One S. Definitely need an additional Hard drive. Super compact and portable. But if you are willing to buy an additional HD might as well get the X. (If you can find one.) Ended up returning it for the Series X. More power And true 4K.

    Really great system for the price. You might not get that 4k/60fps experience, but for 1080p, it is fantastic. Quick load times and GamePass is a game changer.

    Love it! Great quality. I wanted the Xbox X but you don’t really need it. This one does the job! It’s super fast and the small design is so much better. You should get it!

    A fantastic console. Next-generation performance at the same price as a Switch. Couple this with Gamepass, and you have great value for your money.

    This is a very capable next gen console and for the price you can't really beat that. What's more is that it's small so it fit really good with the setup that I have.

    Been enjoying this for almost a month now and I am pleased. Super fast. Only thing you could knock it for is the storage space but it's not deal breaking.

    Not as powerful as the Series X but still powerful enough to run to next gen games and load super fast. I can't get over how small it is either! Think Wii U small!!!

    Though this may not be the series X, this still does what I need it to do. No disc drive, but if you keep everything digital there is no need. Happy with this system.
