    I bought this for the Microsoft Flight Simulator Game. I like that it comes in an all-white scheme that matches the Sony PS5. it runs a little HOT when playing. So make sure it has plenty of ventilation.

    The entry level next gen console is a dream machine. Pair with this game pass and it’s potential is unlocked. Be mindful of the internal storage however as it only comes with 384 GB of immediate use

    It’s worth the money for all the entertainment it provides. Both boys fight over who gets to play first. My boys love the game pass you can purchase to have access to over 100 games.

    Console is good and I have not had any problems with it, DO NO DO USE THE CITIZEN'S ONE FINANCING OPTION. As far as I can tell so far it is just a run around making you call in each month to get a new code for Xbox Game Pass. You are better off to either buy the console by itself. Or just keep calling to get codes everyday until you have a years worth of codes.

    I’m not a hardcore gamer. Really fast. Plays war zone and the racing games really well. What was a big deal for me was WiFi speeds and this far surpasses my last gen console (which I bought at release).

    At the price point this is a great console. What you need to know is this. Yes this is a 1440p console. However, if you do not have a 4K capable display, you can not output in HDR. This is such a huge oversight. This product is sold as a 1440p console, yet, you cannot enable HDR unless you can output 4k on your display. I docked one star for this very reason.

For assistance, we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/display-sound/hdr-tv-settings

    Son enjoys this Xbox. Works great, only drawback is this version does not have ability to play disc games so no ability to buy any preowned games to play on it.

    The kids love the new xbox. The graphics are amazing...especially since this was an upgrade for us from a 360. I like the ability to try different games through game pass as well. I did waffle a little between getting the s or the x as we have a lot of games that we won’t be able to use now but for the price we decided this was a better fit for our family. Overall, the kids love it!

    has been a great console so far the only thing that bothers me is only 500GB of storage but i can not complain since it’s lower then the xbox series x. Other then that an amazing product and great customer service.
