Microsoft - Xbox Series X 1TB Console - Black

After being a computer gamer for forever. I became a dad and needed a console to fill my gaming habits. I immediately bought a one X and loved it. After getting an lg oled C9 I knew I wanted to make the jump to the series x or ps5. I ended up getting the series x and I’m so glad that I did. Everything plays amazing! I didn’t think it was going to be such a large improvement graphically and performance wise, but it truly is. If you own a tv that supports 120fps I would buy the series x in a heartbeat. I’m beyond excited to see the future of true next gen games in a year or two. If you don’t have a top of the line tv. I would wait a year or so and upgrade your tv before upgrading to the series x so you can get the full benefit of wait this amazing system can can give, but either way upgrading to it now or later you simply won’t regret it.

After spending an entire month with my brand new Xbox Series X, I have to say that this console is such a great piece of hardware. The Xbox Series X has lived up to, all of its hype surrounding the new console back when it was revealed at the Game Awards 2019. With that said, the console is whisper quiet even while playing graphical intensive games like, Gears 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, Resident Evil 2: Remake, it doesn't matter...it's super quiet. The best part about the Xbox Series X is, the massive backlog of games it has due to Microsoft's dedication to Backwards Compatibility as well. And not only do older Xbox and Xbox 360 games look better, but they get a huge boost in loading and overall performance. With that said, the new Xbox Series X so far has made a first great impression on me, and I believe that the console and its games is only going to get better in the near future. Also, with the reveal of new games in development such as Avowed, Bright Memory Infinite, Fable, Halo Infinite, Perfect Dark, Scorn, State of Decay 3, etc. I think this new generation of Xbox is going to, absolutely deliver great first-party games to their fans across the board.

So far I can say this Xbox series x has been the best purchase I’ve made in a really long time as far as tech goes. This device is really ahead of its time Very easy to use and setup The graphics are amazing The user interface is going to take some time for me to get used to coming from PlayStation But I honestly think the Xbox series x gets the job done. Extremely quiet while running games. The quick resume option will come in handy when you have more than three games and want to switch seamlessly from game to game and continue where you left off. The controller is solid love the color Remember to buy rechargeable batteries and a solid head set to pair.

Well I would have never thought that I would be owning an Xbox Series X in my lifetime. (I’m 65 yrs old but feel like an 18 yr old playing these games ) And i’m glad that this being my first Xbox that I made a very wise decision. I haven’t played any video games since Mario Bros came out for nintendo 64. Quite a few years ago for sure. The graphics and action that this Xbox puts out is unbelievable. Fast rendering and smooth scrolling is beyond anything i’ve ever seen or played on. Also one thing that I enjoy is the fact that with game pass in the Xbox Live that I can play games at a minimum monthly fee. My all time favorite right now is F1 2020. I love all types of racing but this one knocks it out if the park. Finally i’d just like to say is that if you can get your hands on one of these bad boys. Be prepared for a lot of lack of sleep, You’ll be glued to that screen all night. I know that I have been.

First the Bad: No changes to the UI, controller is good but nothing much change. The Good: This system is amazing, whispering quiet amazing fast and the HDR (High Dynamic Range) ooooh wow the HDR. I was playing immortals Fenyx Rising on my previous console the One X and when I downloaded the patch for the series X I could immediately tell the difference but it wasn’t until I loaded up Darksiders 3 from last Gen that I was convinced. The series X not only is a graphical powerhouse smooth machine but it makes last Gen games look and perform 100% better. Can’t wait for current Gen games to come more often. PS: you don’t need a new TV to tell the difference I’m rocking the KS8000 from 2016 and I’m loving the machine, of course along the way you’ll need a TV with a 2.1 HDMI to take full advantage of the Series X and PS5 but wait 1-2 years when they become cheaper and more readily available.

It's a monster I hope everyone reading these/this gets one soon I couldn't imagine not having mine. If your strictly a console gamer welcome to a playing games the way they've been meant to be played. The backwards compatibility features will keep you plenty entertained till games actually start dropping. The tech definitely trump's the PS5 (I have both not rubbing it in just letting it be known I say this from experience) backwards compatible games that aren't optimized still get a little something sometimes a lot on XBSX. Now on to the good stuff optimized games put you close to PC gaming Destiny 2 for instance at 60FPS increased FOV and 120FPS in crucible you will notice immediately and be mad your just now experiencing the game that way and instantly understanding why PC gamers have been obnoxiously trolling you in threads. The thing is whisper quite and I've yet to get the thing even remotely hot which isn't a feature but let's me know it isn't even bring remotely pushed even on a optimized game so the future is looking bright there. Also console only players welcome to the SSD no more waiting forever for games to load which gives you more to play the game instead of lose your patience I'm talking to you Elder Scrolls online.

It's cool to have, I enjoy having it, but coming from someone with both this and the ps5. It's more based on preference... I try to play this every other day. It's fast and the quick resume is a treasure for players like me that jump games. It will be used way more once games are released I. The future probably starting with cyberpunk. Good luck to those who are trying to get a system. Use the phone app to attempt to add and buy quick during drop. Well recommended. Pic of my dog to show size of box located behind her lol

Next Gen right? Well not so fast. Has the same old user interface as the previous Xbox one. You know it’s funny how they claim it’s the most powerful console but didn’t update a simple user interface to experience some sort of next gen feel when starting up your next gen console for the very first time. So why believe what they claim after all? Check this out , another point. The colors are not as contrast as with the PS5. You can also find this online when you search a comparison game running side by side. You will notice The PS5 has a better contrast ratio while the Xbox looks a tad bit lower giving the in game characters a more realistic look on the PS5. Maybe they will correct in the future, I truly hope so. Also Starting of you will feel the difference of the PS5 with a new user interface, a built in game that combines their years of all the PlayStation technology into the game and making the game fun at that! Exploiting their newly adaptive triggers on the controller of the PS5 was very new and creative. I’m just a tad bit disappointed why Xbox did really nothing with any updated new look feel features. Yes the games run smooth, yes the console is very quiet. And yes it’s very fast. But this was all to be expected. It’s a shame they couldn’t have at least updated the user interface . I guess the only unique features is the in game pause , play another game, and come back to where you left of on your first game. Which is cool I guess, but I’m not the type of guy to like my console straining more power then what I’m currently using it for. The controller also feels very similar to the last gen. I would like to add they did however, create a faster response on the controller then the PS5 controller .I’ve noticed the PS5 is not as quick response as the Xbox. So shoot em up games, you probably will have a slighter advantage on the Xbox Series X. All in all It is a absolute beast for next gen gaming, but lacking a lot of the differential unique features is were Xbox really dropped the ball. Still a beast of a console especially with Xbox buying exclusive title rights to company’s like the creators of Doom). The future looks bright for the Xbox Series X. 4/5
