    I've been using the Xbox Series X for several months now, and it has truly transformed my gaming experience. As someone who enjoys a variety of games, from action-packed adventures to expansive open-world titles, this console has exceeded my expectations in every way. Performance and Graphics: The first thing that struck me about the Xbox Series X is its incredible performance. Games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption II run flawlessly, with breathtaking graphics and smooth frame rates. The console's ability to deliver stunning 4K visuals with ray tracing and 120 fps makes every gaming session feel immersive and lifelike. The load times are impressively quick, thanks to the high-speed SSD, which means I spend less time waiting and more time playing. Game Selection and Features: One of my favorite aspects of the Xbox Series X is the extensive game library. I’ve been able to dive into Assassin's Creed Valhalla and explore its vast, beautiful world with ease. The backward compatibility feature is a huge plus, allowing me to revisit some of my old favorites from previous Xbox generations with enhanced performance. The Xbox Game Pass has been a game-changer for me. It offers an incredible selection of games, including new releases, which I can access without having to purchase each one individually. This has allowed me to try out games I might not have otherwise considered, broadening my gaming horizons. Design and Usability The design of the Xbox Series X is sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into my entertainment setup. It operates quietly, even during long gaming sessions, which is a significant improvement over previous consoles I've owned. The controller is comfortable to hold and responsive, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Overall Experience Overall, the Xbox Series X has been a fantastic addition to my gaming setup. Its powerful performance, extensive game library, and user-friendly features make it a standout console. Whether you're a casual gamer or a dedicated enthusiast, I highly recommend the Xbox Series X for its ability to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience.

    The Xbox Series X is hands down the best console I’ve ever owned. From its sleek, modern design to its insane performance, it’s built for gamers who want the ultimate experience. The 4K graphics are stunning—every detail pops, whether you're exploring open worlds or battling online. The 1TB SSD makes load times practically non-existent, so you’re in the action almost instantly. What really sets it apart is Game Pass Ultimate—a huge library of games at your fingertips. Plus, the backward compatibility means I can enjoy classics alongside the newest releases. The console runs whisper-quiet even during intense gaming sessions, and the new controller feels super comfortable for hours of play. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a hardcore player, the Xbox Series X is worth every penny. It’s a next-gen powerhouse that delivers on every front. Highly recommend!

    I purchased the Xbox Series X from Bestbuy, and it has been a fantastic investment. The performance is exceptional, with lightning-fast load times thanks to the SSD. The graphics are stunning, delivering 4K gaming at a smooth frame rate, which makes every game immersive and enjoyable. The design is sleek and modern, fitting perfectly into my setup. Setup was quick and easy, and the console's user interface is intuitive. It also runs quietly, even during intense gaming sessions. One of my favorite features is the backward compatibility, allowing me to enjoy my older Xbox games with enhanced performance. Pairing it with Game Pass Ultimate has been a game-changer, giving access to an extensive library of titles. Delivered promptly the next day, the entire purchase process was seamless. Overall, this console lives up to the hype and is worth every penny for serious and casual gamers alike.

    The Series X is truly a new experience

    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 is what the Next Generation is supposed to feel like. This system is so much faster and smoother to navigate and switch between games. The system is whisper quiet while running games and displays beautiful graphics. This is everything that the Xbox should have been. Microsoft has answered the call, and accepted the challenge. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting the most powerful system on the market. The future is looking bright for gamers!

    I'm very impressed with what the Series X has to offer. I'd gone with Playstation for the last several generations and felt very underwhelmed by the PS5 design and what it has to offer. The backwards compatiblity support is amazing and I am catching up on the 360/XB1 exclusives I missed in the best possible way on a 4K TV. While it's a big console, the shape and design are easy to work with. It also runs cool and quiet. I was a little worried about using batteries in the controllers, but having a batch of rechargeable AAs around is very easy to work with. Unlike with the Playstation controllers, I don't need an extra one for battery emergencies. The rechargeable batteries last for days between charges. It's also cool that XB1 controllers work on the Series X. I would actually recommend this to PS4 owners who aren't overwhelmingly thrilled about the PS5. It has a lot more to offer right now in the way of exclusives you probably didn't play yet and it is much, much easier to get one (Fall 2021). Included pictures of it against my PS4 Pro to help get an idea of its dimensions.

    THE BEST XBOX EVER! I love this Xbox. I had the Xbox One X before this, and I really questioned if it would be worth it for the upgrade. Well, the 120fps and 4k capability alone make it worth it. Add the extremely fast download speeds thanks to the SSD, a new design with way better airflow for better performance, and better overall performance. After all this, it’s safe to say it was absolutely worth it.

    Great system. I’m an older gamer and the progress we have made in gaming just amazes me. The graphics are mind blowing, and the 120fps on supported games is nice. I do recommend you get a tv with hdmi 2.1 ports that supports 4K at 120fps. This so you can fully take advantage of the features of this console. I have an LGCX 55 inch which is an awesome TV for this console. I love the quick resume feature where you can switch between games and not lose any progress. Just pick right up where you were at when you switched between games. I like the fact that it is backwards compatible with a lot of my previous console titles. The disc drive is nice to watch blu ray movies on and to play the game titles you have on disc. Gamepass is a must have addition for your console especially with all the perks, games, and trials. A lot of great titles to play right now that demonstrate the power of this console. Hopefully the availability will get better as time goes on. I highly recommend this console.

    Great Console Has Some Pros And Cons

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Runs very well, has a lot more storage than i was initially expecting, definitely has better graphics on games i normally play. The only down sides is i wish it came with a USB cord, like my brother got when he purchased his xbox x from a different store and the fact that with a Playstation when you get the PSplus subscription you get to keep your downloaded free included games that normally cost money even after you cancel the subscription when you dont have the money it or just dont want it anymore, while with the Xbox game pass you aren't allowed to play the games you download and put money into while playing it after you cancel it, like whats the point of paying monthly to play it for "free" when u could just save up and buy the game to have it without having to worry about keeping up with each month. I get that some people are saying its if you finish the game and want to uninstall it get another one for free but everyone takes a different amount of time to finish a game (especially if you work it will take longer than a few months) so for most non pro gamers it would take you about the same amount of money during each month to buy two to five and up games (normally costs like 60 to 80$ online for one) while you are still trying to finish one game, but sometimes offers fairly good discounts though. Otherwise im obsessed

    I switched from PlayStation to Xbox, due to the lack of PS5 during the pandemic, I can say that having an Xbox series X has definitely changed my perspective on the consul themselves Xbox does a lot of things well and are still improving the UI to be simple and quick. There’s a lot of features that I liked that you can do on Xbox that you can’t do on PlayStation . if you’re moving from a Xbox 360 or Xbox one to the series X, it is a light years away from them. You will be blown away at just how good the graphics are, as well as how fast games load up now. I would definitely recommend to PlayStation players, and even old generation Xbox players.

    LOVE IT/MUST BUY

    Absolutely love the Series X. I play on both major consoles and I’ve started to primarily use the Xbox! I love being able to play at 120fps for the games that support it at the moment and at least a flat 60 on the others on my new LGCX. The jump from 30ish FPS on my One s to 60, let alone 120 on the Series X is absolutely nuts and makes an insane difference. I freaking love this thing! Load times are insane. Games that are crossplay I’m even able to load in slightly before my PC friends that have the same internet too (2080 users). The quick resume feature... don’t even get me started on that! Like I can’t fathom how much of a difference this feature makes and how quick it is. It’s a must buy/upgrade you need! I was able to preorder both of my new consoles so for now; good luck getting your hands on one! Only downside I will say is that games are getting huge and they most likely will only get bigger. Proprietary Storage expansion is almost necessary and a small chunk of change as well.

    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.

    Incredible purchase experience and service from Best Buy. I secured the Series S model at launch, but Best Buy had the X in stock early one morning and I jumped at the chance due to the extreme demand. It was going to be nearly a week before pickup, but i was notified early and picked up my system before a long weekend. I was able to try out the system with plenty of time to enjoy it. The S is a great system and plenty for a lot of gamers. The X takes it to the next level. The graphics and processing speeds are great. Even the newly optimized older games are beautiful and smoother. Load times are insanely fast. I am very happy with this console and GamePass Ultimate means you have a huge library of games to play from. The PS5 seems to get all the hype but the Series S/X are definitely next Gen upgrades.

    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.

    Definitely worth the 4 attempts and long waits. Once I did manage to get an order in, Best Buy managed to have it ready for pick up within a week, and actually had it ready a day early. Opened it up on Christmas Day, and the graphics, loading speed, performance, and features like quick resume have made gaming loads of fun. Set up was incredibly easy too and the user interface is familiar. Not too many changes on paper, but they added up and it is significantly better than my One X. 100/10 would recommend.

    The Xbox Series X is an amazing upgrade from the Xbox One S that I had owned before finally getting it. Load times for most games are almost instant or only take a few seconds. The quick resume feature of the console is nice. You can pause your game and put your console into standby. Once you power everything back up you are right back where you left off. Games look crisp and beautiful and run very smoothly. Controls are much more responsive and have next to no input latency. Could not be happier after a year of trying being able to finally get my hands on one. Happy gaming everyone!

    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.

    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.

    I have owned every iteration of Xbox since the beginning. This is far and away the best yet. 4K UHD at 120 FPS for the price is incredible in this market, Quick Resume is a literal game changer. Aesthetically pleasing design with no overheating issues. I have always been a hybrid PC/console gamer, and I have to tell you for the price this monster can’t be beat. Halo InfInite and Flight Simulator are two beautiful, can’t miss titles and they play amazing on this bad boy. Buy it if you can get your hands on it.

    Purchased the series X at launch and have since put over 120 hours of game time into the system with no issue. Graphics, speed and ease of use are all wonderful and are quite noticeably different over the original Xbox one. However, the feature that has stood out the most is quick resume. I didn’t originally think this feature would make as big of an impact as it did. Being able to just hop back into a game where I left off without 5 minutes of jumping through hoops and seeing every developers 273 logos is amazing. Being able to seamlessly hop between games with that same experience makes it even better. Highly recommend this system!
