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.

    It’s great the only think I wish I would have bought the X is for watching movies or playing disc games. I have had to go buy two separate external hard drives now for games.

    The image quality is great for COD, but you still can't get 144 fps or 4k. The price though...makes it worth it. Start up and game load times are dramatically faster.
