    A fantastic console. Next-generation performance at the same price as a Switch. Couple this with Gamepass, and you have great value for your money.

    Not as powerful as the Series X but still powerful enough to run to next gen games and load super fast. I can't get over how small it is either! Think Wii U small!!!

    Huge improvement in gameplay load time and graphics over original Xbox one. Definitely worth the 300 it costs, all though I do wish I could’ve got a series x

    Though this may not be the series X, this still does what I need it to do. No disc drive, but if you keep everything digital there is no need. Happy with this system.

    This system is faster then Xbox one x but overall performance is the same. Needs bigger ssd to be worth upgrade from Xbox one x though. Nice and small console only reason I upgrade but needed to buy ssd upgrade card Worth a buy if your digital only or ultimate game pass and you don’t own a Xbox one x

    I'm not a 'gamer', I've had an xbox360 for many years, played very rarely, and I was happy with that. I got this system because I wanted to play certain new games. I found it very easy to use and set up. I don't know enough about systems to compare graphics, but I can say that if you are hesitant and trying to buy your first game system, this is a great choice!

    Bought this for my husband and he’s very happy with it. I like the size and the way it’s slim look differs from the old clunky Xbox looked..
