    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.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I wasnt so sure about this model since i never owned an xbox, but giving this guy a shot at a cheaper price was a great idea, some games and geforce now allowed me to play old school games that aren’t available on the ps5 and I’m having a blast with it

    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.

    Great Game Pass Box, But No Surprises

    Really great console for the price. Can't even buy a GPU that does 60fps 1440p, let alone one that does ray tracing, for $300. The most "next-gen" feeling feature here is the Quick Resume. Everything else sort of feels like my older Xbox One X. I attribute most of that feeling to the lack of a meaningful dashboard/UI upgrade. I have a PS5 as well, and that had a from the ground up brand new UI. Over all, super great Game Pass machine. Haven't tapped into the RetroArch emulation you can do on this thing with a dev account, but I'll definitely give it a shot. Giving it a 4/5 because it's a great price vs. performance value, but doesn't really carry the weight of a "next-gen console."
