The value of having this sytem is phenomenal! The design is minimal and perfect for anywhere in your home. Yes, Playstation has great exclusives but Xbox has great quality of life features that Playstation just doesn't do. I highly recommend this console if you want the best bang for your buck and a great features this is it and it also works great as a gift!

This is a great upgrade from the original Xbox One. Load times are very fast. Counted in seconds over sometimes a few minutes with the old system. I'm sure my old system could use some good maintenance as well, but with a growing number of gamers in the family, it's been good to have the new one. It's been quick to add the old games we play plus the disk player helped with the games we didn't own digitally. I thought it might struggle with some lightly scratched disks but it seems to be able to overcome the damage. I might still do some disk repair but I'll wait until it has to be done. I'm glad the expansion slot is a hard drive expansion rather than USB so that it would have full speeds for storage traffic with solid state storage. It has not had any heat issues and runs very quiet. Online play is dependant on my internet connection which is not ideal at my speeds but we play anyways. Its been a long hard month straight of game play and it hasn't missed a beat!

I could not, for the life of me, get this console to stay connected to my wi-fi. I did all the things you're supposed to do, restart router, restart modem, factory reset the console, clear the MAC Adress. I would have to do any of these steps, and after 30 minutes to an hour, it would connect. However, after turning it off, it would be disconnected again and refused to reconnect. All of my other devices were fine on the wi-fi, but the console wasn't. Even my old Xbox One connected fine. Needless to say, I got a refund after a week of dealing with this.

My son wanted this for his birthday so I got this for him. He uses it for NFL and NCAA football games. The graphics are amazing! He also uses it for forza racing. Again the details and design is gorgeous!

Satisfied with the availability of a relatively hard to find product during the Holiday Season. Product was as expected. I understand that the price is not within Walmart's control and this is an item that does not regularly go on sale. (chip availability and prices are driving cost), but it's rough buying a product for $********* that I was able to buy a year ago for $*********.

The system is designed so much better and it stands up so it doesn’t take up space as much! The graphics are great and I really can tell the difference between this one and the Xbox one s. The old one just went black screen on us so we had to replace it and we are very happy with the new one. Wish they would’ve been more affordable but, I guess that’s just today’s price so we paid it and we enjoy the games we play on it. Definitely recommend getting it if you can!

a couple hours into playing PUBG... I could smell something getting hot I just didn't know what it was until the unit shut down... when I tried to restart it I got a warning about overheating... and for over $600 this is ridiculous... I've been an Xbox person ever since the first console came out... but in the last few years I have really become fed up with Xbox/Microsoft.

Great little system but for the price tag a rechargable battery for the controler would be reasonable only other problem I have had is on some online games with higher demand have an occasional delay in the graphics but not enought to say its a problem with the system everything else so far has met or exceded expectations

Bought for Christmas last year (November 2024) and it began saying it was overheating by mid January. Kept it clean and dusted, consitently kept it updates and cache cleared out to avoid overload, went from standing it up to laying it down (someone said the chips in these things melt super easy when standing straight up) got a fan system stand for it, moved it clear away from anything and it continued it is now to the point it turns on then right back off for the last 2 months. Found out this is a common issue and it shouldn't be! If xbox knows this is a problem they should be replacing the items and recalling affected models. Considering I've had gaming consoles since the 90s and every model of xbox so far, and none have ever overheated I can 100% say it is not a user error but a device flaw/malfunction. 600 bucks down the drain. Series X specific but I'm sure it's the s too. Technology keeps getting more expensive and built worse. WHEN it did work the graphics were great.

It took us three days to get into contact with Microsoft. I had to reset my password to login to my account just to get it to work on Xbox when it worked everywhere else the only benefit has been the download speed and space that’s about it. Kind of a worthless upgrade
