    The Xbox Series X is a next-gen powerhouse that delivers on every front. Its lightning-fast load times, stunning 4K visuals, and smooth performance make gaming an incredible experience. Features like Quick Resume and Game Pass add even more value, letting you seamlessly switch between games and access a massive library of titles. What made it even better was how easy it was to grab one at Best Buy. I ordered online and picked it up the same day—super quick and hassle-free. If you’re ready to upgrade, this console and Best Buy’s service won’t disappoint!

    The Xbox Series X has completely transformed my gaming experience. From the moment I unboxed it, I was blown away by its sleek, modern design and whisper-quiet performance. Microsoft has truly raised the bar with this console! What sets the Series X apart is its unmatched power and speed. Games load in the blink of an eye thanks to the ultra-fast SSD, and the graphics are absolutely jaw-dropping. Titles like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 run buttery smooth in 4K, with vibrant colors and lifelike detail that fully immerse you in the action. I also love the Quick Resume feature—it’s a game-changer for multitaskers like me. Switching between games is seamless, and it feels like the Series X is always one step ahead. The backward compatibility is a huge bonus, letting me revisit classic games in improved quality without missing a beat. The controller is another highlight. It’s comfortable, responsive, and has just the right weight. The tactile feel of the textured grip and triggers makes long gaming sessions even more enjoyable. The Xbox ecosystem is better than ever with Game Pass. The value is unparalleled, offering a massive library of games right at your fingertips. It feels like there’s something new to explore every day. If you’re on the fence about upgrading to the Series X, don’t wait—it’s a console built for the future of gaming, and it’s worth every penny. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or a casual player, this system delivers an experience that’s nothing short of spectacular.

    Coming from an Xbox One X, the load times and increase in performance is evident right away. Game Pass is an incredible value and with the Series X here to help make the games you love look and play better, it’s a great time to invest in Microsoft’s ecosystem of entertainment. With huge investments in AAA first party titles that will launch into Game Pass, there are so many great games to dive into that you may have otherwise missed. You’ll need a tv that supports HDMI 2.1 to get a true taste of next gen performance, but even on older tv’s the SSD will get you into your games faster. Quick resume is a great feature that suspends the games you play so that when you boot them up they load you right in where you left off. There will be issues with online games that rely on servers but single player games get you right back into the action! The console is very quiet and the UI is snappy yet familiar for those currently enjoying an Xbox console. I’m a huge fan of all consoles & can highly recommend you check out the Series X!

    From someone who was originally planning on getting the ps5 I missed out and instead settled on the Xbox series x. I planned on getting this eventually but not until later in the year however this console is a great system for both new and existing Xbox fans. First thing first the setup is quick and easy all of your games you purchased from the Xbox one era are available to download and play on your new console right after the setup. I was surprised to see all my games I bought from the Xbox one show up immediately after I set up my condo.For those uninformed the series x can play a limited amount of games from the original Xbox from 2001 and Xbox 360 it can also play every single Xbox one game as well it also loads every game at a faster rate so you’ll be spending less time in a loading screen and more time gaming. The quick resume feature is amazing and by far my favorite feature of the console. It lets you switch between up to 5 games at a time without going through in game menus. For example you could be playing Halo 5 and decide you want to play GTA 4 (an Xbox 360 game) you’ll switch to gta 4 and if you decide to return to halo 5 you’ll continue right from where you left off. The console is also capable of displaying games (that allow it) at 4K resolution and 120fps if you have a tv that supports it. If not the console still works on a standard 1080p or 720p tv you just won’t get that premium image quality and smooth gameplay. I would recommend buying this over the Xbox series s as the series x is more powerful and will run games way better than the series s but if you are on a budget the series s is ok as well but do know that it does not have a disk drive so you will only be able to play digital copies of games instead of both physical and digital. Gamepass is also a great feature if you are just joining the Xbox brand as it gives you access to over 100+ games that you can download and play all the way through. Games are added and rotated out on a monthly bases some games stay on for years others get removed after a few months. Think of it as a Netflix for video games. I recommend getting gamepass ultimate as it gives you access to gamepass and Xbox live gold which give you access to online multiplayer titles. Gamepass ultimate is 15$ a month but for new members you can get it for 1$ for 3 months and pay the 15$ once the 3 month period is over. If you just joined the Xbox brand and have no games to play gamepass ultimate immediately erases that problem as you can play 100+ games spanding from Xbox 2001 to the Xbox series x/s generation. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on this console get it it’s a great console with a lot of consumer friendly benefits for new and returning players.

    Best Next-Gen Gaming Console

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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!

    The best Xbox yet. This feels like the culmination of a journey that started with the original launch of Xbox and incorporates the best of the 360 and One eras, while casting aside the unnecessary (Kinect). The end result is an Xbox that feels powerful, fun, and cool again. The quick resume and fast start up get you in the game near instantly, and the system UI is slick and easy to navigate. 4k output looks fantastic, and optimized games like Gears 5 really show the promise of the next gen. Paired with Game Pass, the Xbox Series X feels like the best value and most exciting offer in console gaming in years.

    I love it! it's a great step into the next generation of console gaming! The games look stunning in 4k and 60fps and in Dolby vision! The load times are lightning quick for X/S games, and there's absolutely no fan noise either! It's incredibly quiet! Quick resume is also an amazing next-gen feature; it will let you have multiple games running at the same time on your Xbox Series X and seamlessly switch between them. What an amazing console!

    The Xbox Series X is a fantastic console. This is an amazing console that lives up to expectations. Some of my favorite things about this console: *Quick Resume gets you back into your games amazingly fast * The internal SSD is super fast and load times for games are almost non-existent * Industrial design is simple but elegant * The console is dead quiet.. playing for hours and you don't hear any fan noise * All my Xbox One Accessories work with it I could go on and on but you get the idea. If you are a gamer looking to get into the next gen, this is the console to get.

    As an avid gamer, I've been eagerly awaiting the release of the Xbox Series X, and let me tell you, it does not disappoint! From its sleek design to its unparalleled performance, this console is truly a game-changer. First off, let's talk about the design. The Xbox Series X has a modern, minimalist aesthetic that looks great in any entertainment setup. Its compact form factor makes it easy to integrate into my gaming setup without taking up too much space. Plus, the cooling system is incredibly efficient, keeping the console running smoothly even during intense gaming sessions. But the real star of the show is the performance. The Xbox Series X delivers stunning graphics and lightning-fast load times thanks to its powerful hardware. Games look absolutely stunning in 4K resolution, with vibrant colors and lifelike detail that truly immerses you in the gaming experience. And with the addition of features like Quick Resume, I can seamlessly switch between multiple games without missing a beat. The controller is another highlight of the Xbox Series X. It's comfortable to hold for long gaming sessions, and the tactile feedback adds an extra layer of immersion to every game I play. Plus, the integration of features like Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to use with other devices like my PC or smartphone. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the Xbox Series X. Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, this console offers everything you need and more. It's a true powerhouse that sets the standard for the next generation of gaming. Highly recommended!

    Could not wait to pick it up at the store!!! As someone who has owned almost all the Xbox series... I have say the Series X is everything I expected the next gen of Xbox would be. Extensive and thought out backwards compatibility. Awesome job by Microsoft . I can't believe how life like the graphics are. Wish I had 2, cause i think my son is jealous... Comparing it to ps5 they are equally matched but I have to say, Xbox’s quick resume is a game changer. The fact that I could be playing some assassins Halo infinite and jump right into an online match with buddy’s on coldwar in a matter of seconds is amazing! All I can say is.... Get one if you can!!!
