    Got this on a whim after wanting another Xbox for a while. It’s a good little one. The GB’s are not as much as we wanted only about 300 GBs to download games which ain’t much. But we solved this by getting the WB external hard drive and it works well with this Xbox S no problems so Far. We’re glad we have a Xbox again.

    SMALL CONSOLE, BIG FUN

    I bought it after doing research of which console brand would best suit my needs/wants. I chose this one for its backwards compatibility of several games I like to play from the 360. I also chose it because it's purple. It comes with a game code for Fortnite which you need to have an xbox live subscription in order to play. I don't have that so I gave my code to someone else. I paid $249 for this bundle and have been happy with it. The game play is smooth, I can connect my echo device to it and I can use my phone as a controller to play games and control other aspects of the system. This xbox has so many features that I have found to be very useful.

    This product is fun to use for crossplay with other pc users. Definitely a step up from the x box 1 but less expensive than the series x.
