Many appreciate the ease of use and fast load times, along with the benefits of Xbox Game Pass.

    So far so good. We’ve had this product for several months and have had no issues. I have noticed that the controller my Child uses is a little wonky now because he’s very rough with his. Like it will glitch when trying to navigate but nothing too bad.

    It was a pretty good experience. My package was a day late but I called and he let me know that it would be there the next day and everything was pretty smooth. Recommend Best Buy in general for anything retail.

    My grandson loves it. It’s really small and very quiet. I started downloading all of his games so he should have them his whole life. There is no downside to this purchase. All his old Xbox accessories work with this console.

    Excellent console. I use it as a secondary one in my room to play more casual games and more demanding games I play on my XSX. Games play great, I have no issues.

    Priced this all over at a dozen stores. Compared cost and value of X/S models. By far, Best buy had the best deal. In stock, ready for pick up when I arrived.

    My husband purchased this for a friend since he has helped us a lot and he loved it! It's not the newest version, but he only needs it for one thing and that is COD so it gets the job done.

    Game Pass is the best thing going in gaming right now. 299 + 15/mo is the easiest way to get into the current gen of gaming and get hundreds of games to choose from. This is the best overall deal of any system currently… IF you can find one :/
