    I just bought this Xbox about 1 month ago and I’m loving it. I didn’t think it would have such a great performance at just $300 but it’s amazing. I must say that I recommend getting an external har drive to add on to the storage just because 564 gigabytes just isn’t enough in my opinion, and since you are getting this at such a great price it’s honestly worth it. If you don’t, you might see some decrease in performance and maybe some lag due to less frames. All in all this console is great and I 100% would recommend it to anyone.

    Great Next Gen Console for 1440p

    Great price for the hardware. If you are wanting a next gen console, but okay with 1440p gaming, then this is the one to get. If you have to have 4K, then you are better off going for the Series X. Otherwise, this is a great gaming console. Load times are very quick. The only thing I didn’t care for was the controller, but that is only because I have large hands. If you have large hands, then you might experience cramping after about 30 minutes or so of gaming. If this is the case, then the previous Xbox controller might be better for you since it still compatible with it.

    Its truly revolutionary. Dont be afraid of losing the disc player. Step into the world without dvds discs and piles of nonsense plastic cases. Love the sleek look and compact size. Why this isnt the hotest selling item . I dont know. I guess trendiness is cool. Well i am playing the new games on a new system for 299 not 399 and love the smoothness of its operation. Step up to a nice oled or qled tv with it and enjoy the full beauty of gaming . Great little system. I think ps5 is sooo ugly. But what do i know.
