    Super fast and compact, it's not the X but it's almost worth having both if you have multiple rooms you want to game in

    Not going to lie. I was very hesitant to buy a new gaming system. It’s the newest system for me since I bought my play station 1, which that timeline isn’t important lol. Even being nervous to pay the amount of money, I went for it. I’m so happy I did! No regrets at all, and I love that I can easily move it around the house, take it places with me, and have access to my games and streaming services. Love it!

    I purchased this for my 8-year-old who is suffering from a post Covid Roblox addiction. Unfortunately it's collecting dust. No problems with the console it works fine. The 3 negatives I would say for the unit: 1. seems to require about $15 a month to run it for the game pass, 2. Storage is ok at best considering how long it takes to download a game. 3. I have an 8 bit Nintendo mentally and I personally like to own my own media. Would like an optional drive.

    Totally worth it especially if you’re on a budget, with Xbox’s game pass subscription it turns this little beast into a gaming monster. Definitely worth the price point especially if you’re shopping for kids.

    Looks nice and I like the slime size. Graphics are beautiful and I like the layout of the home screen. I do wish it had an area for hard copy games, but I guess that what the Series X is for. Too bad those are always out of stock.

    364GB after XBOX OS on here. It's super screaming fast for the price though. Played F1 2020 and it's terrific.
