    Next gen is here and I’m glad I didn’t have to buy from a scalper. Great graphics and loads games very fast. 120fps and 1440p max resolution. Only downside is no disc drive.

    I was trying to get an Xbox series x for about 6 months before I looked into getting this little beauty. This console is cheaper, smaller, and runs at basically the same frame rate and graphics. I love this thing and it looks amazing both while gaming and while it’s off. The graphics and ray tracing are incredible. Not to mention the insane ssd hard drive. This console is amazing.

    Box was a little damaged when dropped off, and the video flickers quite frequently on video apps even with the correct video settings, the home button and A button on the controller it came with constantly get stuck and the audio jack makes both of my headsets buzz when chatting online. I honestly preferred my Xbox one x over this, I should have just waited until the series X was available. The positive notes are that downloads, game play and menu response are way faster on the series s and the compact side is a plus.

    The next generation of gaming is here, and it's pretty good. For the price. There aren't any "blow your mind" exclusives yet, but a lot of games look and run better on these new consoles. GamePass is an amazing deal, and definitely shows the value of the console. All in all, $300 is a great price on a next gen console, especially considering you'll have it for almost a decade to come.

    Product has been awesome and I'm thrilled to see the improvements to my Xbox One S. I got this as a replacement and was amazed by the quick load times and the quick resume feature. The fact that all of my accessories and digital games also work made it easy on my wallet. Too bad that none of my discs will work, but I haven't bought a disc in three years so I don't think I'll miss those games.
