    Awesome system. Does what it says. Next gen upgrade for only $300. Running it on decent 4k TV, and games look and run great. Keep in mind there is no disc drive and limited internal storage.

    Good xbox. xbox series s good in 1080p or 2k. I use it in 1080p with 60 fps. there is only one you can easily buy in 2022 march. The stroage is only 350gb, so it is big problem.

    If you’re not really big on gaming and only buy a couple games every few months, model is an ok starting point. A lot of games take tons of storage so if you aren’t looking to buy an external, keep a careful eye on what you download.

    I really like it. Only thing that makes me slightly nervous is it’s all digital. So I’m worried if something goes wrong can I get my progress transferred to another system. Either way it’s great!

    Excellent console for the price. Loads so much quicker than previous generations. Honestly, if you have a decent TV and are a casual gamer, it makes more sense to buy this than the Series X.

    Great for what it is, can play all the games at 1080p and they run smooth and it's obtainable compared too the Xbox series X, if you don't mind not having a blue ray drive I'd recommend

    Great value at 300, and even goes cheaper a lot! Very compact but games still look great. Perfect console if you just want to use game pass.

    I purchased this because the X was unavailable, but this system is great and does everything my son needs to enjoy the latest games with his friends. The price was more reasonable too.

    Perfect little Xbox! If you’re looking to get into playing next gen titles or a second Xbox this is the best choice for the money! Pair it with game pass and it’s an even better value.

    I would definitely recommend this. I wanted a way to play Halo and other Microsoft exclusives on top of my PS5. This scratches that itch and truly is a next gen console in a small package

    It was an early birthday gift for my 14 year old after his old Xbox One stopped turning on. He says it great. I’m just glad to have finally caught it in the store after searching for almost a year!

    what’s funny is this model actually had more CPU power so ran games more smooth then the X model, sold this one few weeks ago so i’ll be picking few more up before christmas for new halo
