    I'll keep this review short and quick Pros & Cons Pros- -Great for emulation -backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 and XBOX games run at 1440p -Great for media playback -Price is decent for what this does however try to get this console on sale not full price Cons- -Backwards compatibility for xbox one games do not get any benefit aside from unlocked framerate games -Backwards compatibily for xbox one games it runs the xbox one games not the one X games for some odd reason when this console is cleary powerful enough to do so -Games optimized for Series S still run terribly as of this writing -I would only recommend this console for people with 1080p monitors UNLESS ur using it for backwards comp. for 360 and before games then you get the resolution boost to keep it short save ur money for the series X dont give in to this

    I really wanted s PS5 but I couldn’t mss aaa mage to get one but I was able to get this. I’ve never been an Xbox person but this is surprisingly nice! I will still get a PS5 if I get the chance but I am definitely enjoying this system.

    What is the purpose of this system? My opinion is this is the most budget friendly version of the new console to experience next gen games on the cheap, Get this and subscribed to gamepass. Seriously you don't have to buy a single game ever.

    Good system that's low priced without dealing with dvds. This feels more next level because you got access to your library of games instantly with a push of a button. As long as Microsoft supports the console, this is 5 stars.

    Got this with game pass ultimate. Already have a PS5 and wanted a base Xbox to be able to play exclusives as well as their game pass catalogs. Incredibly nice, not near close to the ps5 or series x, but a great base next gen console.

    Great affordable console! This is really a gamepass machine, it is well worth every cent of $300! It does 1080p 60hz on most but not all games! A huge upgrade from the xbox one s, not so much a big upgrade from xbox one x!

    Best valued xbox in the new lineup. All the games work great and it upscaled 4k, which is as good as 4k in my eyes. The only thing of concern is the storage. If you plan to play 10+ games at a time a hard drive is suggested.

    I hesitated to buy this because there are no titles for the next gen of XBox that you can't play on the XBox One. I picked it up with the Game Pass deal and I am glad I did for the loading times alone. Coming from a Day One XBox One (2013) games load in an instant in comparison to the old XBox One. Solid state drives are amazing. Worth it. I knocked a star off because its 512GB is too small for any next gen console.

    Great little Xbox, good for computer monitor (up to 1440p) but don't expect 4k gaming. Quick resume, game boot up and start up are fast. If 4k and memory are a factor then step up and get the Series X.

    This is the Best Console you can Buy right now... Because its the only one in stock. If you can find a series X get that. but it you just want an upgraded performance this is smaller and way better than the xbox one x

    Solid console. Just wish it had more storage capacity or they offered a discounted bundle that included the 1TB external hard drive. They mostly likely have to come up with a larger external at some point. All in all still a solid buy.

    Thia thing is a beast! It's great because it's much easier to buy than the other consoles, and pairs great with game pass. It has the same SSD as the Series X, so loading times are super quick! Great price for a great product.

    Was skeptical about making the jump to get an Xbox. But I’m glad that I did, wish I’ve bought one sooner. Runs so smooth, thought it was an exaggeration on fast it loads. I love it
