    Cheapest next gen console in the market. With XBox Game Pass you can play lots of games without a mess of discs. The small size is a plus.

    This is my first gaming console since PS3 and I seem to like it. I am not an avid gamer - but I like the GamePass and seem to play something once every 1-2 weeks. Upgrading from PS3, I love the disc-free part and the speed is terrific.

    Only problem that I have with this system is that it heats up very quick. I suggest buying a third party party fan to keep it cool.

    Awesome 4 k quality, missing disk reader

    Much better quality than previous one, loads fast. I’m getting some errors when loading some games. I’m really missing the disk reader, still have games disks from the older one. If you have a bunch of game disks and if you can wait for the X model, do it.
