    Was a gift for my husband, he said he loves it and loves how feels when playing games on it. Setup was a bit lengthy, and you have to download your games that are not included on the cloud gaming. Additional information, you need to have game pass premium, ultimate, or PC for the cloud gaming and for additional storage you can purchase a micro sd.

    The product itself is fine, my only complaints are with best buys open box policy. I got an open box excellent product, which should contain all parts and function normally. Mine did not contain a charger and the finger print sensor does not work. I contacted support and was told to call the store. I tried to call the store and got no where. Like I said, the product is great and I enjoy it, I just wish I actually received what I paid for.

    This is really a good value but I’m a little disappointed in the performance. The og ally is better , this does have some pros . Like the speakers and the grips. Maybe later on the performance boosts!

    The product is not bad and runs the games very well only you really need to have knowledge on how to run the console correctly and download them well, if you already play on pc it is a good buy but if you come from a console not much
