    Much nicer than expected. Easy to use. I am 75 years old and did not want to operate something complicated. This unit works well for me.

    Works great. Have a ps5 so this is just a game pass machine. $200 cheaper than the series x and even though the 4k is upscaled to my tv, you'd have a hard time noticing.

    Great system the gameplay is crisp and the refresh rate looks nice. I like the new controller only downside is since it’s digital only I feel like it should’ve had a 1TB hard drive.

    The Series S

    Series S is great if you don't care about 4K and a bunch of native storage. There is a small graphical difference and screen tears, but it's more than tolerable.

    Great product it enhances the game play. The pictures are sharper with more textures. The box does not get as hot or make as much noise as the previous versions.

    Love this little thing. Great for a bedroom mini-pc. Have my real rig in the Living Room but with Game Pass I use the Xbox a lot and it runs well for not being THAT powerful

    This new Xbox is great and is quick with the professing. The only downside is the lack of storage and being forced to use to digital games only. Also, the only way you can get external shortage is by paying for the expensive 1 TB storage from Xbox, otherwise it’ll crash the other hard drives.

    I lucked out finding this at my local BB store. The kids love it. It's much faster at startup than our old Xbox and the controllers have a better grip. We love the purchase.
