    Highly recommend it if you are new to gaming, only game every once in a while, a kid, or a teen! I have an external hard drive (HHD) hooked to it for extra storage:) Really simple to use. Can't go wrong if you don't like to get up to change out games. It's ALL digital. XBOX has deals on games all the time, so it's easy to go into the game shop and see if something cheap catches your eye or that certain game you've been wanting finally goes on sale! The controller batteries do not last long. I would recommend a battery pack or a docking charger! Mine only lasted less than a month.

    Great console! It Works well and no issues so far. Easy set up. The only downfall is I wish there was more on board memory. 512gb fills up fast, especially on a digital only console. Otherwise, no complaints so far.

    I purchased this to replace an older larger xbox. The size of this unit is perfect with no large power brick. The hard drive is small, however, picked up a 4T and have loads of space. I can easily see the visual difference on this model over my older one. The load times are way down now. Great compact unit if your looking for a smaller unit that outperforms the older xbox this is the one.

    I bought this system just to test the xbox waters and it is so worth it just for gamepass alone. I have it paired up next to my ps5 and it is great to just have the option to play either or. Storage is definitely lacking but for the price point it is a great value and it doesnt cost much for an extended HDD. Very good value overall.

    Despite the fact that it's weaker than the Series X, I love this machine. It's got a nice punch for a mere $300. Also, if you don't have a newer 4k TV, than the Series X may be more than you need anyway. This would be a great economical gaming choice for kids, 1080p and lower-end 4k TVs, casual gamers, new gamers, and for those just wanting a machine for Game Pass. It runs silent and cool. It will play next gen games, even if a lower level.

    At times the console is buggy and unresponsive, but as its such a small device I feel its still impressive and it has many pros then cons. Definitely worth for casual gaming if you dont care for 4k.
