The pros outweigh the cons, but I would have liked without them for the price. The gamepad in particular is a terrible retail price. The purchase is good, but as the only console I would not buy Some pros: - Backward compatible with 360 and Original (not complete, but better than nothing) - Subscription - Design and build quality of the console itself - Upscale and fps boost - Good digital content ownership policy (it belongs to you, not the region) Cons below: - The gamepad is much simpler than competitors. It can't compete with the DualSense in terms of price, convenience/quality, or stuffing. - Minor flaws in the OS (cropped Win) and stability "leaves much to be desired" - Batteries by default. If you want a rechargeable gamepad, look for batteries and pay again
