    This is my first Xbox system and I couldn't be more pleased! When paired with the Game Pass, this is too great a value to pass up.

    Great for emulation!! And the game pass is excellent with tons of games. However the storage space is really low and the memory expansion is expensive.

    I wish it was the xbox series X. This will do for now until we can buy one. It’s a great little powerful machine. We have it hooked up to our 82 inch LG ThinQ 4k HDR. It makes a lot of the games so pretty. The load screens are fast and make it loading into a game quick.

    Great alternative vs the X console. However the 1080 upscale to 4k it is very basic vs the full 4K resolution on the series x console. It gets very hot so make sure you have it on an open space. I have gotten some freeze here and there when i get to over 3 to 4 hours of playing time.
