    I like that it takes up less space has the ability for expandable storage and don't mind no disc slot since I download the games anyways.

    Top Tier Gaming Experience

    YES! Excellent gaming system! I decided to forego the discs because I have an 11 year old - also it's $200 less! The graphics are gorgeous and I've not had a game glitch out on me yet. Definitely prepare to get Xbox Live at least, so another $10 monthly or $100 a year. I opted for GamePass and LOVE IT! The only real complaint I'd say I have is that its only 512GB out the box - but I have added additional storage via my USB 3.0 external HD. Oh, and remote play is a total game changer! Love sitting outside by the fire playing xbox *additional viewing device needed*,Good vibes, hope you can get your hands on one - took me months of watching alerts for when it'd be in stock but it was worth it!

    I didn't need it, but for some reason i just saw it as necessary. I felt like if i wanted i can hide it behind tv in a setup. I take it with me to work during night shifts at a hotel. I love it.
