    Ive had this console for a while now i have no issues still runing like its brand new great for entertainment no game disks taking up space. Only issue is that it doesnt have alot of gaming space you would think it would since its a no disk but no not much space to install more then 6 to 10 games unless u buy a 200 dollard storage cart

    FINAAAALLLLLLYYYYYY. I finally upgraded from a Forza 6 Xbox one. Little did I know how much I was missing while playing all types of games. Pairing this with the right TV makes ALL the difference in the world! I can now see and fight in 4k at 120hz! Only issue of course is storage size, but easily remedied with any external storage for an in expensive option. The 1TB SSD expansion card I used instead works wonders. Virtually no lag while loading games

    I purchased this for my 8-year-old who is suffering from a post Covid Roblox addiction. Unfortunately it's collecting dust. No problems with the console it works fine. The 3 negatives I would say for the unit: 1. seems to require about $15 a month to run it for the game pass, 2. Storage is ok at best considering how long it takes to download a game. 3. I have an 8 bit Nintendo mentally and I personally like to own my own media. Would like an optional drive.
