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.

    Love it. I keep it in the bedroom while the XBox X is in my game room. Allows me the freedom to play in multiple rooms without forking over another $500

    I got myself a Christmas gift and so far I’m very happy. There are so many new fixtures in this gaming system plus for the price I’m very happy with what I got. So far used it few times and I can’t wait to take it for a spin

    I've finally set this up and I have to say, this is better than my old PC tower for gaming and even better than my Xbox 360. I can play lots of my older titles on here and it doesn't require a lot of space.

    Easy to plug in and play. No game disc laying around and quick loads. The game pass is awesome with 100s of games available. Kids love it and so do I. Especially good since Microsoft owns so many gaming companies

We're happy you are pleased with its performance! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We appreciate your feedback!

      Happy Gaming,

    This item caught me off guard as you wouldn’t expect anything from it in terms of performance and power due to its size but I was totally wrong! This console has the power and performance to keep up with the best of them!

    I really wanted to be able to play some of the Gamepass games that I wasn't able to on my PC. This more than adequately does the trick. I know it's not 4K, but it looks great on my 1440P monitors. Very happy.

    So happy with this console. I would recommend to a friend. If you turn on notifications for the Best Buy app, you can get notified when they restock quicker. I would say this is a perfect office console.
