    I purchased this for my 8-year-old who is suffering from a post Covid Roblox addiction. Unfortunately it's collecting dust. No problems with the console it works fine. The 3 negatives I would say for the unit: 1. seems to require about $15 a month to run it for the game pass, 2. Storage is ok at best considering how long it takes to download a game. 3. I have an 8 bit Nintendo mentally and I personally like to own my own media. Would like an optional drive.

    Not going to lie. I was very hesitant to buy a new gaming system. It’s the newest system for me since I bought my play station 1, which that timeline isn’t important lol. Even being nervous to pay the amount of money, I went for it. I’m so happy I did! No regrets at all, and I love that I can easily move it around the house, take it places with me, and have access to my games and streaming services. Love it!

    bought for my nieces and nephews. they can't handle discs bc they're kids and will definitely damage or lose them. this fixes that. Microsoft.....why do you make people log in to like 5 different accounts and take like 2 hours just to start up an xbox. what??? I had to download like 3 apps and make multiple accounts and then LOG INTO THEM etc etc took 2-3 hrs to get the Xbox just to let us in. ruined it for. I'll never have an Xbox. but the kids seem to like it.
