Microsoft - Xbox Series X 1TB Console - Black

I used to own an Xbox One X and some people will say that it was close enough to the Series X that it wasn’t a worthwhile upgrade since these are expensive and hard to get. Well let me put those claims to rest. While, yes, this console feels very similar to the One X when you fire it up, once you get into a game, it’s a whole new experience. One of my favorite games from last gen is Forza Horizon 4 and even though you could do 4K30fps and 1080p60fps on the One X, being able to do 4K60fps on the Series X makes it feel like a completely different game. The speeds that this console operates at are truly next level. One of my all time favorite games is the original Star Wars Battlefront II. I have that game for the original Xbox and it works on the Series X! But it works exceptionally well. It’s scary fast. I swear, I spent a collective 3 months of my life waiting for that game to load when I was young. The loading screen barely appears before the entire match is already on your screen with the Series X. It’s so fast that the loading screen is almost a flash on the screen. Of course, younger me is furious at how fast it is, knowing how many times I would just get up and grab a drink or a snack while it was loading. But older me has to start planning out the drinks and snacks before even turning on the console because the days of long loading times are gone, and that makes me extremely happy. It may feel like an Xbox One at first glance, but let me tell you, it is nothing like an Xbox One when you start really comparing speed and graphical quality. Pair it with an Elite Series 2 Controller and you’re in for a great time. Worthwhile leisure investment, 100%.

This was totally an impulsive purchase on my end. While searching for games for my limited edition Xbox One X on Best Buy, a search suggestion showed the Series X with the Add to cart button, naturally I checked the product and I see the magical phrase “In stock at xyz Location”. I already have the PS5 on a waitlist, but didn’t mind buying the Series X, because of the recent game studio purchases Microsoft had recently gone through and the Forza franchise. I was lucky to get mine this morning, as I had to drive a long distance to get it at a different Best Buy location. However, I’ve been eyeing on getting one of these two consoles since Day 1, but apparently waiting did help pay off to obtain one. Now comparing this to my One X, its definitely smoother and faster. The packaging was smaller compared to the old Box, and still consumes AA batteries. Controller is literally identical to the One X. I can still play my entire digital and physical library which also consists of Xbox 360 games. However, it is taller than my Nintendo Wii and seems a little out of place compared to my Playstation 2, Xbox One X, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Switch.

Ive been a playstation fanboy all my life! Ever since my first playstation 1 when i was just 4.5 years old! I was just blind and convinced that i will be sticking to my pc and playstation ecosystem for another generation, and that xbox will still be cool but not for me. After the past year with recent jaw dropping announcments and amazing xbox exclusives i just had to get my hands on the series x and finally get into the xbox ecosystem for once. And i gotta admit i love my series x more than my ps5! The gamepass is just a big freaking WIN for microsoft and xbox! And the power of the series x has is just mind blowing! And out performes the ps5. Not to mention that the series x comes with a native 1tb with seperate storage for system software and updates so you never run out of storage unlike the ps5 that has 1 storage for the entire system, so you only end up with like 600gb at the end if the day, which is about 4-5 games. In conclusion, if you manage to get yourself a series x go for it! Do not hesitate to try and get one. But if you dont mind the performance and storage penalty then the series s will give you the same experience and is much cheaper and easy to get. Seeing the series s in hand i can confirm that the average joe that just want the key to next gen gaming without spending much and not caring about performance will enjoy the series s just as much as the series x. But if youre hardcore like me and will notice the difference, then this is it!

I purchased my Series X on December 2nd, 2020 last year. I've had it for over 7 months now and I still love it and play on it as much as i did the first day. Microsoft is absolutely killing it this generation which is why i switched from ps4 to the Series X and i couldn't be happier that i did. The Next-Gen features this Xbox has such as Quick Resume, which lets you have multiple games open and play between them in a matter of seconds. I use this feature every day. A growing list of games that have Auto FPS Boost and Auto HDR, which makes games look and play amazing! Playing a game that was once 30 fps to now 60fps is so awesome, especially the games that are boosted to 120fps! It's an absolute game changer. Game pass Ultimate is a must if you have an Xbox. It's too good of a deal to pass up, it's perfect with the Series X. Games load incredibly fast on the internal SSD of the Series X it'll make you realize how much time was wasted waiting for games to load last gen! The new contoller is a nice upgrade from the previous model. It now has a textured grip on the back and triggers which feels great to play on while gaming for long sessions. I truly am enjoying my Series X and the Next-Gen features it offers, it's only getting better from here too, with a lot of Xbox exclusives coming soon this year like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and many others, all day 1 on Game Pass! You won't be disappointed going with the Series X this generation.

If you’ve been thinking of upgrading from a previous generation of Xbox and you’ve got the money and the console available to purchase.. I can assure you won’t be disappointed. This console is a beast. And that’s coming from a PC gamer. Would recommend this console to anyone who wants to game at 60FPS+ while enjoying visual upgrade experience you’ll have to see to believe. I came from Series S to this and it was a night/day difference. Also a previous RTX 3080 owner and I can confirm there are games that look almost identical if you were to put them side by side.

Always been a PlayStation guy but this current generation for gaming consoles I’ve switched to Xbox awhile ago and I really enjoy playing Microsoft and Xbox (plus best buy is the best place to shop for electronics!) but I prefer the Xbox Series X for any newcomers that’s just starting out because you have everything (Xbox 360/Xbox One) all built in into 1 console with HDMI if you don’t have a 4K but if you do have a 4K tv it looks great or even 8K if anyone has that kind of tv

This is my 3rd Xbox Next Gen console purchase. Bought a Series X and a Series S previously and now another X as a Birthday gift to my sibling. It runs quiet, takes long period game sessions without stutter or lag. Built fairly sturdy and can notice immediately that it's a quality built product. What's surprising is how much power they were able to cram into such a small form factor. I built a PC that can run about the same specs about a year ago and it cost much more in parts and the time in labor to put together. Price-wise, it's a winner. And to top it off with the cherry on top: GAME PASS. Holy smokes is this a game changer. It sells itself. Definitely would recommend.

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.
