    I got this open boxed and you can say it was in meant condition. The only damage was the box itself. I’m an Xbox guy, I love this system.

    Coming from an original Xbox One. Awesome system for the price, works well for me as I don’t have a tv that would fully display all the Series X can produce. Game Pass Ultímate is a must.

    This is basically a device for furthering the Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, but it's a great device for that. Tiny yet capable and at a good entry price.

    Bought as a gift and they loved it. Great alternative if you can’t get a series S. Other than low storage, nothing bad about the console. Great value for the price.

    This little system is great companion for 1080p and 1440p gaming monitors with high refresh rates, I currently have a 1080p/ 165hz gaming monitor I use this on and I couldn't be happier.
