I bought it because it was time to buy the xbox series due to my xbox one s is slowing down and is unable to play original xbox games and crashing sometimes and also due to price rises I bought one finally and its been great not entirely fast as the ps5 but is able to play games just fine its a shame it did not have the disc drive but love the white style xbox series s but luckily most of my games are digital anyway so its good but you need to have a tv that has 120 fps and 4k to play to its most best performance which is a downer but mine works well its a 4k but cant do 120 fps the down side is it does get hot on the black soot where the fan is needs to buy a cooling fan to keep it cool bought one on amazon that also tells the temperature so that i can keep an eye on it but plays xbox series s/ x games great there is mo issue at all just need a few accessories to help it run better like a tv with 4k and 120 fps, cooling fan and chargable batteries for the controller. But the console works great i have enjoyed it do far. Would recommend it if someone does not care if its superfast like the series x is.

My mom has been wanting to game for a few years and so I got this for her for an early mother's day gift! She loves it and can't stop having fun playing her favorite game Disney dream light valley.
It runs smooth and hasn't had any issues.
Great system for any average daily gamer. Buy it! Never hurts to try new things.

Works great and very happy with the performance for the console. If you aren’t worried about buying physical games and on a budget. This console is perfect for that. Disappointed about graphics quality on certain games. But I’d take performance over graphical fidelity.

This is so small that I could hide it behind the wall mounted ONN television. There is actually a little shelf built into the tv that i set it on. You never have to even see the console!

Performance is good, it's what you would expect from a cheaper next gen console. Runs pretty smooth, and runs quietly. One knock is the storage space can run out quickly with new games requiring 100 gbs.
