    Good purchase for the not-so-serious gamer

    Full disclosure: I'm not a serious gamer. I picked this up on a whim (pandemic boredom). I also bought the Microsoft Game Pass. Set-up was pretty easy out the box. Only a few hiccups separating my work Microsoft account from my personal account. Took about an hour for all the updates to complete. Game pass has a nice selection of games. I like being able to play cloud based games. If you're a serious gamer, the storage will probably be an issue. Downloading a graphics heavy game like Forza takes a good chunk of the available memory. I have 5 or 6 games in my library now and I'm already 93% full. I recommend getting a charger/recharging station for the controllers. Replacing batteries gets old pretty fast. My only real gripe is that it was surprisingly difficult to set up our second controller so that my wife and I could play against each other. If you want to play against someone halfway across the world, no problem. Playing against someone sitting with you on your couch, on the other hand, is a lot more difficult. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

    Better than Series X for Causal Gamers

    Excellent console for the price. Loads so much quicker than previous generations. Honestly, if you have a decent TV and are a casual gamer, it makes more sense to buy this than the Series X.

    It was an early birthday gift for my 14 year old after his old Xbox One stopped turning on. He says it great. I’m just glad to have finally caught it in the store after searching for almost a year!

    I purchased this because the X was unavailable, but this system is great and does everything my son needs to enjoy the latest games with his friends. The price was more reasonable too.

    Kids love it. Happy with the purchase. At first they were a little disappointed due to no disc place, then got used to the already downloaded version of the games.

    I got this Xbox for my boyfriend for Christmas. Originally we got the Oculus but he shouldn’t find any games that interested him. He loves the Xbox though. His favorite game is Madden, but he’s always yelling at it lol. It was a good price compare to other game systems.

    First of all let me say, yes half a terabyte but ladies and gents you can get 2 TB heck even 4TB if you shop around for under $120, yes for another $200 if you're lucky enough to find the Series X you could get it, the better console that runs a bit quicker and gives you real 4K content. But If you're a gamer and don't mind 2K at 120FPS this is for you. Plus digital games are the future and load faster and run smoother. I haven't owned an Xbox since the 360 and I almost forgot how fun Halo, Gears of War, and other Xbox exclusives are. Great price with insurance and a 4TB hardrive it was still cheaper then my PS5. Overall the build the quality on a samsung Qled tv just can't get any better. Super happy with Microsoft and the new Series S.
