    Underrated, unless you have a 4K tv, this is the Xbox to get. The graphical improvement of the series x is only worth it if you have a high end 4K tv like an oled. If not, grab this and enjoy! You won’t be missing out on anything!

    Great Budget Next Gen Console

    Great low cost next gen console. If you are playing from a 1080p TV this is the unit for you. Games still look great and half the price of a PS5 or Xbox One and much more availability. Also great to use for emulators and older games.

    Hard to get my hands on one, but for it's price and the count of power it's capable of, this is a no brained for casual gamers. All digital does limit it, but game pass and streaming services make this console more than enough for me.

    This console is a game changer. Load times, FPS, temps you name it, this thing is rolling over the competition. I play pc primarily and use this when I have friends over. I notice similar load times to that of a multi-thousand dollar rig.

    Amazing value. I have a PS5 with the disc drive and honestly I will be using this over that now. The controller is so much more comfortable and the Xbox games pass is the best deal in gaming out there.

    My son loves this gaming system. I love how I don’t have to buy the disc...don’t have to worry about the breaking or coming up missing. The only down fall was when I had to re-buy the games that we already had because they were on a disc.

    One of the best consoles available, if you don’t have one you should buy one. One of the smallest consoles I’ve owned, but also one of the most powerful. If you like a big punch packed into a tiny box, this item is for you.

    As someone who plays games only from time to time, I really enjoy how fast the load times are. This was a great upgrade from the Xbox one. It was a little hard to come by due to Microsoft’s failed launch, but in the end I’m extremely happy.

    Was skeptical about making the jump to get an Xbox. But I’m glad that I did, wish I’ve bought one sooner. Runs so smooth, thought it was an exaggeration on fast it loads. I love it
