    I like it’s a space saver, I would have preferred not to have repurchase all of the physical copies, but it’s the world we live in I guess. Still gonna give it five stars.

    Good console to buy, I prefer digital due to you giving more space instead of using your cd's or worrying about them to get scratched up. Also the console is small so a lot more space.

    Great console, the graphics are great. The only negative thing is the storage amount but if you don't play that many games you should have no problem.

    it runs pretty well on my 120hz monitor, runs fortnite, modern warfare, and rocket league smoothly (better than some gaming laptops!), and fits in a backpack for easy carry!

    Preforms well smaller then a box of cereal so placing anywhere isn’t that hard about the quarter the size of the original Xbox one. Graphics are also a improvement.
