    Peppy and far better than the Xbox One by leaps and bounds! The lack of new content and some 4k bells and whislte = don't give a hoot. Works just fine on my 4k.

    It is perfect for the kids and me. I would recommend this xbox console, it is faster than the original xbox one, less space but you can buy adapter for cheap.

    1440p@120 this lil bad boy looks and performs outstanding you cannot go wrong with this especially if you don’t own an series x yet and want something to enjoy while waiting for an x or if you own a PS5/ Switch and looking to get an Xbox without breaking the bank this is the machine you want keep in mind it’s digital only and memory is small less than 500g so you will need to get external memory which they have plenty out there for affordable price or invest in a ssd to play the nex gen games but that cost just as much as the console itself smh

    Fantastic system for the money. If you don't really care about 4k, or just want something cheap to use Gamepass, this is the system to do it. It's a lot smaller than you can tell from the picture, so once you open it you will be surprised! Whisper quiet, super fast nvme ssd hard drive, great controller, it's worth the asking price plain and simple. I do suggest looking into the official add on hard drive when it drops in price as you will need more space. But if you just want to store games off to the side, a standard drive will work just fine as well. Happy gaming!

    Great system for a good price. Definitely needs the 1tb added plug in but especially with the scarcity of the x series, this a great option.

    Definitely a step up from the previous gen, and does everything I want it to, but I will probably upgrade to the X in the future. Not a lot of onboard storage, but can use an external for legacy games. I'm happy with my choice at the moment though. It's a good entry into the current gen consoles.

    It was cool best buy had this in stock when no one else could for more than 30 minutes but I returned it as game stop had a fresh stock of the series x under the all access bundle exclusively which meant scalpers couldn't out stock it, I plan on getting one of these later on though as the series xbox's play games smoother than anything else I've played and my pc has rdna1 specs, 4k is absolutely optional, just get a 120 display and get the all access bundle because it discounts gamepass for buying in bulk and the first week you will have over 500$ in games played :)

    Very good design and controller. Crisp movement and the remote play was almost seemless. Combined with game pass, this is the ultimate entry level next gen console. I will be getting the x for the 4k/120 but I'll hate to let this go.
