    Cheapest next gen console in the market. With XBox Game Pass you can play lots of games without a mess of discs. The small size is a plus.

    Only problem that I have with this system is that it heats up very quick. I suggest buying a third party party fan to keep it cool.

    What should I say? It's the new next gen console, pretty straight forward. Works well and doesn't have a drive. But if you can find one, buy one.

    Much better quality than previous one, loads fast. I’m getting some errors when loading some games. I’m really missing the disk reader, still have games disks from the older one. If you have a bunch of game disks and if you can wait for the X model, do it.

    perfect for 1080p couch gaming. Small compact and an excellent system for any non-4k display. This is the one you want if that's the case.

    Great backup to my ps5, I only play halo and sports titles but it does what I need it to as far as streaming movies and shows! Ps5 is miles better than this specific version of the Xbox but I get plenty of use out of it. Would highly recommend as a great budget console if you mainly play sports games. Biggest negative is lack of any first party games that are any good…
