    Purchased for my 16 year old. He loves the compact size he can easily pack it for road trips or even use it in the SUV's entertainment package and its not taking up much space in the vehicle! We actuall purched the external hard drive recommended and its very small too! Its a win/win for me. One thing he wishes is that the controller had usb charging capability, right now he is using regular batteries or the lithium rechargeables.

    Just get Gamepass and you'll never run out of games to play. I have had this for over a year and never once regretted that purchase or thought about paying for another game. I am admittedly a casual gamer but I honestly think this has been the most satisfied I have been with a console in a few generations, possibly since the PS2.

    Performance powerhouse in a small package, relying on digital games, needs additional storage sold separately.

    Really enjoy this xbox its nice to not have to hassle with disks for your games and having to worry if the disk has scratches and will play or not. My only con is once you buy a game your stuck with it so trying the games isnt an option persay without the gamepass but its worth the 15ish a month! I will though reccomend if you play alot of games to get a external hard drive space is decently limmited

    I bought this console so i could game fron the comfort of my bed as i only have a gaming pc setup at the moment. I was hesitant at first but boy were those fears alleviated. This console has such fast load times that you dont have time to do anything by the time it loads into a game. Definitely the clear cut choice as most people dont have a high end 4K tv to take advantage of the series X anyways.

    Everything went perfectly. The transferring of games from my One S was smooth without any hiccups. If you haven't battled on Fortnite or Call of Duty while in the same house, you are missing out. It is worth the purchase. The only same downside (small) is the storage.
