    It seems you are no longer able to use the kinect. I have tried 2 adapters so far. This forces you to use a phone to use for games like Just Dance. My sister-in-law has Down's Syndrome which makes this a very difficult thing for her to use. It asks every time you need to play to add a new controller (her phone) with the same pin. Why can't this be persistent?

    Its a joke you get 300gb of memory after the os and they want 200 for 1tb of extra memory better off getting the xbox series x this system is trash imo the graphics are just ok for some game other it cant run them right flickering and fuzziness you can't use hdr for 1440p like on pc have to have it in 4k tried that but dont really look good. The xbox one x is way stronger and games look better only loading is the big difference you will want the 2 year warranty because I had it for a week and had few problems. I dont see the point in getting this and getting a tb storage for $210 ovet the series x you get ripped off. Microsoft really tircked the consumers i see what Microsoft did its smart for them but not use in the end that is why you can only find the series s and cant find a x like with Sony did with ps5 digital is the same as just no disks drivers unlike xbox you get 4 instead of 12 lol you get qt of next gen with the xbox series
