    I bought this for my kids and we got Sing 2 with microphones. Kids are adorable but they can’t read fast enough for Karaoke so they just mumble most until the scream the part they know. Super adorable but only like the first two songs. After that the inevitable sets in and I realize my kids will never be pop stars.

    This is a great entry level console for the Next Generation. Gaming at 1440p at 120 HZ is amazing. The only downside of the storage could be more

    Even though this system is marketed and a less powerful cheaper version of the Xbox series x. The SSD alone is worth it. I bought this system because couldn’t find a ps5 and wasn’t going to pay some scalper 900 bucks for one. This system exceeded all of my expectations. For the money this is great system and it’s an emulation powerhouse. Microsoft need more 1st party killer apps, but this system is worth the buy if you are looking to take that next gen leap.

    This was a Christmas present for my son, and he absolutely loves it. The only downside I see is the storage is really small so it only fits 5 or 6 games on it.
