    The price for a next generation console is amazing. I wanted an Xbox but did not really want to pay another 500 dollars for a system it is great overall.

    Smaller console, it’s almost so small it doesn’t seem real but it does all the same things as the larger console, just less space and no disc drive

    Great system, though less powerful than the Series X which can be a problem in the future. Other downside, no disc drive. As a secondary Xbox to a Series X, it’s great.

    Great for emulation!! And the game pass is excellent with tons of games. However the storage space is really low and the memory expansion is expensive.
