    At first i thiught it wasnt going to be enough. But my son loves it and he was very impressed about hiw small this console is. Really fast and doesnt take a lot of room wherever you want to put it. I wasnt a fan of the white color since it usually turns to yellow over time but i also found out that I can buy a wrap for it and change that

    Great Travel Companion

    I did not think about this as an option for traveling, but it worked out very well on a road trip for me. It was very light and connected to the wifi. I was able to play games using my ipad as the screen. Normally, i get concerned about discs getting scratched, lost, or having issues reading the disc while the car is bouncing. This console does not have any of those concerns. It uses low power so it can be plugged into the car with no problems. It is small enough to tuck under a seat and powerful enough to play real next gen games.

    Great system, though less powerful than the Series X which can be a problem in the future. Other downside, no disc drive. As a secondary Xbox to a Series X, it’s great.

    Its good to use because you could watch something such as Netflix and YouTube and you could download a lot of applications and play games. you could also call someone anytime and the controls are easier to use it than PlayStation also it show you the controls of the controller.

    Great for PS5 owners

    Let’s make this simple: This system is not the most powerful, and doesn’t have the greatest graphics on the planet but most console users can’t tell between 1440p from 4K. It’s tiny, incredibly quiet, and fast. Pair this with game pass and you have a Netflix for gaming. I wouldn’t recommend this as your only console because of the limitations and lack of a 4K blu ray player, but if you have a PS5 this is a great way to play old school games PlayStation doesn’t support, free games like Fortnite or Warzone, and Xbox exclusives/game pass games at a cheap price. I don’t have any regrets.

    Perfect 1440p 120hz console

    I love this console. I had to return it cause I got an Xbox series X but honestly this is a great deal for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on a “next-gen machine”. I know you can’t do 4k with this console but you can play at 1440p 120hz with this console and my favorite part is how small it is. Its a very quiet console, and you can play cloud games. Also, it’s usually on sale for 50$ off. Sometimes you could even get it for 200$

    Coming from someone who has the PS5 disc version. The digital Xbox version was worth the tag-team. Gamepass is a major plus for Xbox over PSN.

    Love it I bought an extra SSD drive so it end up cheaper than buying the x version and unless you have an 8K TV no games play different so save yourself some money
