    I love this! It's small and compact! You definately need the SSD to allow larger storage and the gaming experience not be hindered.

    Great console for the price - only thing I could harp on is the storage, just isn't enough for a digital only console! Would for sure recommend a external hard drive. Other than not having 4k gaming, the 4k video makes up for it. Glad I was able to get the last one in stock at my location.

    Love it! Great quality. I wanted the Xbox X but you don’t really need it. This one does the job! It’s super fast and the small design is so much better. You should get it!

    Been enjoying this for almost a month now and I am pleased. Super fast. Only thing you could knock it for is the storage space but it's not deal breaking.

    This is a very capable next gen console and for the price you can't really beat that. What's more is that it's small so it fit really good with the setup that I have.

    Bought this for my husband and he’s very happy with it. I like the size and the way it’s slim look differs from the old clunky Xbox looked..

    Great system for someone who just plays once in awhile. Wish it had more internal storage. Overall on my TV the graphics and everything is great for the price.

    Just get the Series X if possible

    It’s definitely good for what it is but if you can get your hands on it do yourself a favor and just get the series X for the additional storage and better frame rate. My TV could detect that this could do 120 frames per second but certain games lost frame rate with this one

    Al most a year i was looking for a console but finally bought XBox s , its a great and quality product, but one thing not all the games are migrated to cloud yet. So we have to buy an external hard disk if you want to install many games , minimum each game requires 25 gb space
