    Thing is still working. I leave it on all the time and haven't had any issues. Make sure you clean it every now and then so dust doesn't coat it.

    What can you say that most don't already know about Xbox. I like the no DISC and just using a pass. Works amazing on WiFi only.

    Set this up in my living room TV at 4k60FPS because that's what my TV supports. (I believe it's actually 1440P upscaled to 4k) For the budget Xbox this is really nice. Worth it for me to save the money on the series X since I'll only play Console only games(MLB and maybe halo one day) on it or some games for the kids will be on it.

    Awesome Christmas Gift

    I bought this for my stepson for this Christmas. I was surprised I was able to get one since it's sold out everywhere. I just happened to be browsing on best buy and saw there was one left available and I jumped on it quick. I was trying to find an old gen bundle for my stepson but everything is sold out. My stepson has autism and he really likes playing on the xbox so I thought I would get him his own for Christmas. I have the xbox series x so I know this won't disappoint. Best of all it's digital because he can't really handle discs with out scratching it or putting it back in it's case. I know he will love it.
