Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    Very good design and controller. Crisp movement and the remote play was almost seemless. Combined with game pass, this is the ultimate entry level next gen console. I will be getting the x for the 4k/120 but I'll hate to let this go.

    Great system for a good price. Definitely needs the 1tb added plug in but especially with the scarcity of the x series, this a great option.

    It was cool best buy had this in stock when no one else could for more than 30 minutes but I returned it as game stop had a fresh stock of the series x under the all access bundle exclusively which meant scalpers couldn't out stock it, I plan on getting one of these later on though as the series xbox's play games smoother than anything else I've played and my pc has rdna1 specs, 4k is absolutely optional, just get a 120 display and get the all access bundle because it discounts gamepass for buying in bulk and the first week you will have over 500$ in games played :)

    I was surprised about the size of the xbox compared to previous model. Its very practical for console play and decent graphics for the price. It doesn't replace a PC but highly recommended forgiving fun! 2K is great for casual gaming. 4K recommend going with Xbox Series X

    Great alternative vs the X console. However the 1080 upscale to 4k it is very basic vs the full 4K resolution on the series x console. It gets very hot so make sure you have it on an open space. I have gotten some freeze here and there when i get to over 3 to 4 hours of playing time.

    I wish it was the xbox series X. This will do for now until we can buy one. It’s a great little powerful machine. We have it hooked up to our 82 inch LG ThinQ 4k HDR. It makes a lot of the games so pretty. The load screens are fast and make it loading into a game quick.
