    Entire family loves ours. Great for streaming or gaming. Gamepass is 100% worth subscribing to if you're even a little bit into video games. Storage is lacking so keep that in mind.

    The only reason I got this Xbox, was because of the value of Gamepass, I’m not planning on buying any games for it. Nonetheless, this Xbox had definitely surprised me, the speed of the ssd is amazing, quick resume works incredibly with many games and with the addition of Ea games to gamepass, the value of gamepass has gotten better. If you are someone who wants an entry console to video gaming, I would recommend this console with Ultimate gamepass. Worth every penny

    Wait for the Series X

    Bought this to hold me over until I can find a Series X. My Xbox One X recently died (lightning strike). While the Series S is much faster on start up, game loading, and in-game menus, that is basically the only good thing I can say. The storage is way too small with the size of current games. The operating system takes up a huge amount of space, so I think there is only about 360 Gb available. I have a few apps, 3 games and the latest Halo MCC flight/beta loaded and I have less than 50 Gb left (90% full). It also doesn't output in 4K video. I have a 24" 4K monitor. I was not expecting such a video quality difference on a small screen. I'm assuming a large TV would be even worse. 4K output from my old One X was considerably better. If you are replacing a standard Xbox One, don't care about 4K video, and you have Game Pass (so don't need a lot of game storage space), this might work for you. Otherwise, wait and get a Series X.
