    This is a great purchase for someone that is familiar with Xbox but not for someone who is not . It is so complicated to set up for someone who knows nothing about it. Would be fantastic for gamers though. 5 stars for experienced gamers. 0 stars for a gramma trying to set up for grandsons bday

    The games via clouds are AWESOME! The slightly issues are with WiFi-ing to make streaming video games go smoothly lacks at certain levels during the day. 500GB can withstand +/-10 loaded games. A game can be 50GB to download.

    I honestly only bought this because it was the only kind of next gen console I could get my hands on, but it's actually a pretty impressive piece of hardware. Runs smoothly and the games are legit. Only downside is the small storage space

    I had the original Xbox one day one so this was a upgrade with much faster performance. OS is the same so there is not a feel of new there.

    The graphics and the games are pretty great. The limited hard drive space is a little bit concerning and the fact that it doesn't have a disk drive was difficult to get used to. Using this console combined with the Game Pass has been a great experience.
