    Haven’t been able to use the 120 FPS feature yet because my tv only pushes 60 but it still runs AMAZING! Can’t wait to hook it up to a monitor that is able to push that many frame rates

    Love this Digital Edition. This was a gift for my husband and I didn’t know how much he preferred the digital edition. No more discs and scratches. I guess I am a life saver.

    The unit is small and very powerful. Unfortunately I can't play disk games but I guess I can download the equivalent from store. The unit is really quite compared to my old 360. happy with purchase

    After not being able to obtain the Halo Xbox (due to non-notification of times it's being sold) I spoke to an employee and was able to purchase this one. And have no complaints

    Very tough to get but well worth it! Both the series S and series X are leaps and bounds better than the last generation of consoles. The new graphics and frame rate alone is a huge improvement!

    Great console, after about two months of playing I don’t regret buying this console instead of the series x, I don’t need to much storage for the games I play so this console was perfect
