Microsoft - Xbox Series X 1TB Console - Black

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.

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.

Lot of value for the next-generation. You get all the legacy titles you already own if you have any previous Xbox console. Some games even come with a boost from the original source material. Fight Night Champions instantly comes to mind. 4k, HDR..you really have to see it on the Series X. Older titles may see boost like Battlefield V where you can play the game in 4k ,120fps. Dying Light plays at a buttery smooth 60 fps with HDR now upscaled at 4K, i popped in the same game on the PS5 today and its still 30 fps.. Its a beast for the older generation.. As far as next-generation gaming... Its coming...fortunately as of this review, its much sooner than the actual console purchased date...lol. The wait been has been painful...but the future is extremely bright... Havent even talked about game pass.. Easiest way to explain, its netflix but for gaming. Microsoft hosts all their first-party titles in the subscription but you also get EA Play (Madden, need for speed, star wars) as part of the subscription and you also receive day one titles from 3rd party companies...so Dungeons and Dragons:Dark Alliance that just came out a week ago...currently in game pass.. So its a trade-off. Im new to xbox and the whole ecosystem, but i do own both next-generation consoles.. its clear sony has more exclusives right now, but xbox is coming along nicely and Starfield...should probably youtube Starfield...ok bye.

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.

I’m a big fan of games whether on PC, Xbox, PS, and Nintendo. This Xbox Series X is the best and a big hit on other consoles. Design is sleek and its UI is intuitive and nice looking, smooth and very responsive, startup is a blink of an eye, gaming experience is way better than previous generation and loading time in the game is almost nothing, wifi connection is stable and strong, controller is mostly similar to its predecessor with D Pad change which is awesome. I love this Xbox and becomes my mainly console among others I have.

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.

The Xbox Series X addresses the Xbox One X's weakest point: speed. It has a powerful CPU in addition to its monstrous GPU and has a built-in SSD. You'll be impressed with the speed from the get-go. The initial setup was super fast and it even allows you to copy settings from the cloud that is backed up from your previous console. You'll be up and running in no time, and if you are a Gamepass subscriber, you'll have great games to play such as Gears Tactics & Tetris Connected. You'll have to be patient though as they download or as you apply the Series X optimization patches. While the delay of Halo Infinite's launch left a big hole in the launch lineup, it did not really bother me as I have more than enough launch games to play. Yakuza Like a Dragon is quite fun and looks fantastic on the console. While not a graphical showcase, Tetris Connected manages to look quite cool and flashy and is incredibly addicting with numerous online and solo game modes. The backward compatibility truly shines and it is a joy going back to some of your favorite titles that perform better now with the power of the Series X. Forza Horizon 4 and Gears 5 never looked so good at 4K-60fps. The new controller is not a big change, but since I use the Elite 2 anyways, that didn't bother me all too much. I quite like how the new controller feels and it seems they made some minor yet meaningful tweaks to it overall. The bumpers seem more responsive to me and the share button is a useful addition. I am looking forward to seeing what's next for this powerful console, and I am very impressed with the overall package so far. Cheers

I’ve had the this game console since January, so now I feel like I can write an honest review. Pros: Quick and easy setup! My old Xbox games are still compatible with the new system so are the old Xbox controllers! Load times are a thing of the past. The games are ready to go as soon as I turn on the system. Graphics are very sweet. I have the Xbox connected to my Sony Bravia 4K with a JBL Dolby ATMOS sound bar. Let me tell you what an experience!!! Well until the wife tells me to lower the volume. Again the 4K graphics a buttery smooth. So clear , colors so vibrant. And the 3D spatial sound it produces adds to the experience. Expandable Storage is a welcome feature also. Since these new games take up lots of space the onboard 1TB will quickly fill up. The online service is same as always. I recommend connecting your XBOX via hard wire for a better experience. CONS: Price. It’s pretty steep at $499. But if you can afford it then it’s a very nice multimedia investment. In closing, my kids love it , the wife don’t mind it and I can squeeze a game sometimes then it’s a win win while we wait for the world to open up again.
