    Awesome console if you don't mind going all digital. Everything looks amazing on the screen and with the game pass I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything this generation.

    I think we all know there’s literally a shortage on these. When I saw it in stock I had to hurry up and get it for my son. This is a fast console for the size literally don’t let the size fool you. It’s a great purchase and worth every penny.

    The Xbox works and everything but I was supposed to come with a 1-Month Xbox Game Pass trial, and 14-Day Xbox Live Gold Trial but those were missing from the box. Not as big deal but if it says it supposed to be there than you expect it to be since I paid for it.

    I already had one of these. I just needed to upgrade one of the other older ones I had. I love it obviously because it’s my second one.

    It’s fast. Compared to the Xbox one S, the download speed is 4x better. Yes, the initial storage capacity isn’t great, but I’ve downloaded several games and I still have room. Only downside to digital games is that they don’t go on sale like physical copies do.

    For 300$ the quality is amazing it smoothly runs 120fps in all the games I play, and the 4K is awesome. Along with if you are switching from monitor to and other display device it’s a very fast swap

    The size is amazing for me while in college. It is really powerful and my best advice would be to buy an external hard drive to store all the other games. Overall worth it for the $300 and was way easier to buy than the Series X at the moment.

    Purchased for a Christmas gift for my grandson. He was very excited to receive it as supply was very limited. The order process was very smooth and the item was ready for pickup at our local Best Buy a day earlier than expected. Overall, a great experience.

    One of the 3 “Next Gen” consoles. A great little console for the little ones to have instead of spending the extra money on bells and whistles kids don’t pay attention to. Bought for my son and he loves it. With console home sharing, he has everything he needs.

    It’s exactly what I wanted. A low-cost casual gaming experience. Plug and play - and game pass makes it easy to log on and try different games

    I was one of the lucky one to get this before Christmas. I enjoyed this very much faster then my old Xbox. As it didn’t have a cddrive I had to down Load all my games again. Took several days on my internet. I have also already upgraded the ram to 1 TB. It was full after only 4 games. That,s the only real thing I dined like about the machine. The games seen to run and load really fast. A cd drive would have really nice to have on this machine

    I watch youtube vids on this console and still couldn’t believe how small it was in person. Amazing. Fir perspective it’s half the size of xbox one s. More power, hardly any loading times and this is actually in stock.
