    Love it. Plugged in an external hard drive and don’t have to worry about discs getting rings of death or stuck anymore.

    I just bought this Xbox about 1 month ago and I’m loving it. I didn’t think it would have such a great performance at just $300 but it’s amazing. I must say that I recommend getting an external har drive to add on to the storage just because 564 gigabytes just isn’t enough in my opinion, and since you are getting this at such a great price it’s honestly worth it. If you don’t, you might see some decrease in performance and maybe some lag due to less frames. All in all this console is great and I 100% would recommend it to anyone.

    My daughter and her bf love it. They said it's a big improvement over their xbox one s and so much faster! They are very pleased. Only downfall would be the storage, but for the holiday bundle price, can't beat that. All in all I guess dad finally picked out a good xmas present ;)

    Its truly revolutionary. Dont be afraid of losing the disc player. Step into the world without dvds discs and piles of nonsense plastic cases. Love the sleek look and compact size. Why this isnt the hotest selling item . I dont know. I guess trendiness is cool. Well i am playing the new games on a new system for 299 not 399 and love the smoothness of its operation. Step up to a nice oled or qled tv with it and enjoy the full beauty of gaming . Great little system. I think ps5 is sooo ugly. But what do i know.

    Looked up thhe specs after my purchase and found out this was the same power as the Xbox One X (which i have) was slightly disapointed til I loaded up a game and then saw how fast this thing processed the games. HOLY CRAP! Cyberpunk would take 30-50 secs or more to load and this takes about 5-10. The added ability to play the next generation of games is great too! Considering the Xbox Series X is currently going for $500-600 over the retail value this is a great way to take the first step into the next gen without breaking your wallet.
