Casual Gaming - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
Like the last single star review, ours was also clearly opened and resealed. Controller was in the wrong section of the box to be new. Battery foam pouch was clearly torn open, and the xbox film was unwrapped that should have fully encased the xbox its self. Should have known something was off when there was literal packing tape holding the box together. The gamepass card was also missing. Given how I paid full price and online it said nothing about being packaged I have a major issue with this purchase.

Console was packed really well the only thing that scared me was the 3 months of free gamepass which it wasn’t letting me claim but after a few hours i was able to claim it, other than that the console was really good.

The back of the remote wouldn't open, had a hard time opening it to put batteries in. Plus, batteries???? Its 2023/4 , shouldn't all wireless have a rechargeable battery to plug in??.... Only some games are available on the 3 month pass...still had to purchase a game. Loading times takes forever.

Halle - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
My boyfriend loves this. It was an upgrade from his Xbox 1. It works so much faster and smoother. It also comes with the game pass so we downloaded games that we usually don’t have. There is a lot of good options on there! The space is good and he says it’s worth the money. If your thinking of upgrading from the Xbox 1, DO IT!!

Great price. My daughter was so excited. The code pops up after you’ve set up the console. There’s not gonna be a card in the box. Lol. DO NOT LOOK FOR A CARD IN THE BOX!!! Set up the system and then the code will pop up.

A great price! Before people are worried about the 3 Month Code… ITS BUILT IT WITHIN YOUR XBOX. So when you set it up, it will have the promotion when you start it up. The box does say “No code required”

Game pass is on console

5 out of 5 stars
Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
Rick - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
There is a game pass with this- it is on the console itself (no physical card). BIG shoutout to the electronics team member guy and guest services lady that worked Saturday late night 11/11/23. They spent a good time helping us determine where/why there was no game pass originally. They are the true meaning of excellent customer service.
