    My kids had been waiting for this Xbox to be in stock forever. Once it was in stock I purchased and we are very happy with our purchase. Only thing we noticed was that the Xbox is a lot smaller than depicted online. It’s okay because our Xbox One literally stopped working a month before we ordered this one. This Xbox doesn’t require as much counter space as the Xbox one and we love that!

    It is fast, silent, and quite small, but the 512gb is not really what you get, the system uses a big chunk of memory space, overall a good experience

    I enjoy using my XBOX daily. More so, the cloud gaming capabilities have extended the use of this xbox even further. I haven’t had any issues with having no disc drive and I enjoy the games available to me.

    Next gen is here and I’m glad I didn’t have to buy from a scalper. Great graphics and loads games very fast. 120fps and 1440p max resolution. Only downside is no disc drive.
