    Couldn’t get 2 so had to settle for 1 of this and Series x for 2 teenage boys. Both we’re happy that’s all that matters.

    FINAAAALLLLLLYYYYYY. I finally upgraded from a Forza 6 Xbox one. Little did I know how much I was missing while playing all types of games. Pairing this with the right TV makes ALL the difference in the world! I can now see and fight in 4k at 120hz! Only issue of course is storage size, but easily remedied with any external storage for an in expensive option. The 1TB SSD expansion card I used instead works wonders. Virtually no lag while loading games

    Xbox is great and at great value and with cloud gaming its perfect you dont need to buy the extra memory card..i have a series X as well and yes you can see a difference with graphics. But this is still by far better than old gen graphics and speed ..but if you can't afford or can’t find or simply don’t wanna pay that much for a Series X and coming from old gen this is perfect

    It was the only way to get next Gen hardware without paying for scalper prices. The console loads games really fast. Faster than my PC sometimes. The only drawback is the drive space. It comes with 512 GB, but you really end up with 300ish because of the OS. I ended up biting the bullet and got the 1 TB expansion drive. It’s a good console, I recommend it to anyone wanting to get into next gen consoles or an Xbox fan

    Awesome machine. For $300, you can play next gen games on a super fast ssd. Couple that with Game Pass and quick resume (the best videogame console feature EVER) and you have a killer combo. I also love how compact the console is. The only downsides are the small amount of storage (roughly 370gb of usuable storage) and the lack of a disc drive, but those are excusable considering the price. Overall super happy with the product.

    I picked this up after waiting and letting several chances to get one pass me by. After finally getting one, I’m pretty happy with my choice to grab one up. Once I set it up and logged into my account, my whole library of digital games from original Xbox to Xbox One games were available to download and play and to my surprise, quite a few were already optimized for Xbox Series S/X. Games that aren’t optimized still run better than they did on my One X and look better in most cases too. The internal SSD is a bit on the small side but I was able to get an external SSD for a good price that works with the console really well. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase and have been enjoying gaming quite a bit more than I have in a while.
