Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass. However, some users point out limitations in storage capacity and the lack of a disc drive as significant drawbacks. The console's resolution capabilities also receive mixed feedback.

    Amazing console, especially for the price. Only wish is it had more internal storage. Quick download speeds make up for that though.

    Love the x/s series. Very quite and runs smooth. Power supply is usually a problem with consoles, so we'll see how this one does.

    For a much lower price than the other next-gen options, you can't really ask much more from it. Runs all of my games perfectly and fits perfectly basically to anywhere you want it.

    For the price a magnificent entry into the next-gen. If you pair it with a Game Pass subscription it's one of the best overall values in gaming.

    The only place I’ve been able to find either the series X/S or PS5. Got it a day earlier than expected and runs great. Definitely worth upgrading to the next gen
