Reason: The blu-ray drive that will work for your DVDs, blu-ray movies, 4K Ultra HD Dolby Vision movies, games, old-gen games and whatever else Microsoft does with that drive in the future. And you get extra storage... For even more games, of course! Unlike Sony and their hubris (I also own a PS5, and very much dislike the fact that the best they could do was PS4 backwards compatibility), Microsoft listened to their fans, and thought it wasn't much work to bring backwards compatibility ALL THE WAY BACK to the original Xbox, so you don't have to have a 360 and a One X around... unless you want to... because this one plays it all* (some exclusions, Kinect games specifically, but yeah.) Speaking of games: Game Pass, an all you can eat buffet of games that you can enjoy, and if you go ultimate (for dinner buffet price, of course) you get even more options with EA Play, Xbox Live Gold (and its monthly games) AND PC GAMING TOO. Playstation doesn't have an answer for such comprehensive service, and please forget about PSNow, it is the reason why we can't play PS2 and PS1 on the PS5, and will likely be obliterated when XCloud is fully functional - I'm no fanboy of either platform, just giving my $14.99 per month here. Weaknesses? One: Storage. In two ways, as the internal storage won't be enough for us to hoard games as those next gen games are very greedy with space (though you can expand available storage it in two ways...), and the price on those storage cards. like a lot of things Xbox: brilliantly planned, meh execution. That level of storage speed does command a premium, but getting stuck with a proprietary form factor is what killed the PS Vita, thankfully here we do have the option of adding a huge, albeit slower, SSD via USB 3.1 so we can store and play games from all previous XBox generations, and store XBox Series games, as they can only be played from internal or expansion slot memory.

Best performance from a next-gen gaming console. Although there aren't many 4k@120hz games, this system offers the best graphic ATM.

Hours of entertainment was a gift ,Great gift for Holidays

Silent. Quick Resume. & Fast. Add game pass and your set. Doesn’t have must have exclusives yet but they’re coming fall 21.

Great product and quality. The picture graphic is awesome with interruptions. Fast loading and downloading games.

So far, no issues. Just waiting on new games to see what it'll do. Does improve graphics on old games. Fast and quiet

Amazing system! Beautiful graphics just wish their was more exclusives. Fast load times!

I love the look. Its so sleek. Great power and very fast.

The X is awesome. Quick loads, graphics awesome, game pass, cloud gaming. Can be an emulator.

A very fast system. Loads games in less time than the older consoles. I’m enjoying it and I’m ready for the newer games to come out.

Huge upgrade from my Xbox One. So much faster and the graphics for even older games is great.

Awesome, faster, clearer, small enough to set anywhere

Great system for my son he has had no issues with it

It keep my 16 year old out of trouble. Hes loving his new electronic!

Upgraded from the original Xbox one. Such a huge difference. It’s so fast. Pretty quiet. Every game loads way faster. Like way faster.

My daily gaming machine. Game pass makes it entirely worth it. Grab a separate USB drive for Xbox one games and you’re good to go.

Great performance and graphics. It’s an especially good deal if you buy gamepass

Favorite console to play with the family. I use all the time.

This is a short review coming from a lifetime Playstation gamer. Much like Xbox players migrate to Playstation to try out their single player story games, the same could be said about me, a mainly Playstation player wanting to try for the first time xbox's main franchises. I'm enjoying what im playing on a powerful console. Gamepass is definitely a must. Truth be told there quite hasn't been a game that has screamed Next Gen to me.

My first Xbox other than a little experience with the son's 360 so don't have a lot to compare to. It's very small considering what I know to be a lot of hardware inside. Runs cool and very quiet compared to my gaming PC which is pretty well sound insulated. It seems pretty fast compared to watching my son navigate and load games on his PS4 which I would expect having an NVMe drive. I highly suggest the Xbox Gamepass as there are a lot of games available along with EA Play and possibly adding UBiSoft in the future.
