    I gave this to my son as a gift for Christmas and he love it. The graphic are better and downloading the games are so much faster. I would recommend this new Xbox system to buy for first timers or upgrading your old system.

    Easy to plug in and play. No game disc laying around and quick loads. The game pass is awesome with 100s of games available. Kids love it and so do I. Especially good since Microsoft owns so many gaming companies

    Great system. I'm a Playstation user and have a PS5 that I use as my main gaming system. This is a nice addition for our upstairs bedroom. It can stream most apps you need. Be prepared for low storage issues.

    I bought this for the Microsoft Flight Simulator Game. I like that it comes in an all-white scheme that matches the Sony PS5. it runs a little HOT when playing. So make sure it has plenty of ventilation.

    Great console and great experience! The best thing is that all games from Xbox360 and Xbox One are working here as well. The game-pad itself is not that good but overall it's great. Glad that I got one)
