    Purchased this for my husband, he loved it. However, it’s more of a novelty as opposed to being used as a game console.

    I was terribly disappointed. Unable to exit many of the games without restarting the system. Some of the games I could not figure out how to get into them. I got is to play with my visiting siblings over the holiday and we were all disappointed. Used for about two hours - purely for the sake of giving it a full try - but has not been used since. It’s just a pain.
