    Beat system I have had so far. Video quality is unmatched. Hopefully I can land the X soon but I’m truly satisfied with this system and amazed at how small it is!

    Great value for what it is. Don't compare it to the Series X or 4k Playstation experience. This is not for that target market. Happy to have this as my casual Game Pass console.

    Great console, powerful, a small downgrade from a series X. But for the price, it cant be beat. Smooth 120fps, high quality and fast load times.
