I was finally able to score an Xbox Series X after Best Buy's first in-store restock. After the initial setup, and loading up a game, I realized the hype is real. This is truly the Lamborghini of consoles (performance-wise). Load times are almost non existent. Optimized games look incredible. The entire system runs smooth as butter. I hate to dock it a star, but the design is wonky. It looks absolutely ridiculous in my media center.

The packaging was good, the box was well protected and unopened, no visible damage to the box, and delivery actually came before the scheduled date, very good packaging and delivery, the only problem was that the object itself malfunctioned a bit after

Absolutely love this new Xbox series x. Love the bold styling of the series x, it looks great in the vertical and horizontal orientation. The x comes nicely packaged everything is well protected. Set up was a breeze just plug everything in and log in. The graphics are amazing on my 4k Samsung tv. The only real complaint is I wish it had a removable hard drive as todays games require a lot of space so you can’t store to many on the ssd. I recommend the x with the many exclusive games.

Its a great console for several of its next gen capabilities. I remember being able to get stuff done between loading times, well now it loads really fast and it's a whole new vibe as someone who used to have dial up. It came with a control and these things are easy to set up. The xbox platform and gamepass work really well if you also have a PC. A real computer, with Windows lol. It feels very fluid. Microsoft loses a star because of the SSD switch. The quick resume feature is lit but SSDs have a limited amount of rewriting before they start to break down. This is planned obsolescence. The extra storage you can buy is like an old school memory card except its a SSD and holds 1tb or more. Comes separately though. I get that we like SSDs but just know you may have to upkeep this in 5 or more years or buy the new gen when it's out. All in all it was cool but PC gaming is top tier without a doubt. Lol miss me with that console war peasantry

The software is great and the performance is wonderful. The load speeds are nice and quick and the graphics look amazing. Quick resume works wonderfully and optimized games run perfectly on this console. All around a great console for any gamer, and it’s provided a really enjoyable experience for me. The only problem is the lack of exclusives, but with Microsoft buying new ip’s and the whole of the game pass service, as well as lots of really great third party titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassins Creed Valhalla the lack of exclusives isn’t too much of a bother for me personally. So i’d rate it a 4.5 out 5 stars but that’s not an option so a 4 is good.

Got this on Black Friday and so far everything has been great! Everything runs so fast and fluid and crisp it's insane! I still think the price is obnoxious but everything it has to offer is incredible. And something happened the other day that I was concerned about, I was playing a game and the game started flashing on my screen which caused my headset to start flashing the sound from the game into my ear and then the menu itself for the Xbox started flashing on my screen and the whole Xbox bugged out and I had to restart it, but after I restarted it everything was fine and it's been fine ever since but still, weird that that happened not sure if it was the game or my system itself.

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

The Series X is great. Fast, quiet, and high powered. Gaming and entertainment are top notch. My only issue the physical design. I wish it were a bit sleeker.

Couldn’t get a series X for the longest… found BB had the deal with the required game pass with payments so figured why not. There are actually a few games that I was surprised to see as I never really checked it out in the past much. Interest free payments are cool but I picked this option to simply get the series X lol…. But some may find the $36.65 monthly payment an easier option than shelling out money for 2nd hand market prices. 1tb really isn’t that much storage with the size of the games optimized for the X so the $200 1tb expansion is a must…. That works great by the way. Pros: -you get a series X instead of continued out of stock -Game Pass -Fast…. Crazy fast boot up -Optimized games look great -I seem to be doing better when in cross play matches but that may just be in my head -$36 interest free monthly payments opens up the platform to more people (a good thing) Cons: -Game Pass is an unwanted option for some yet they still buy this bundle (not very smart) so that is a con for some -Quick resume rarely works as it should (does for Halo) most games, when it tries to re-connect to the servers, simply won’t connect. You must exit out and restart the game. (Not a huge deal but annoying) I say pick up this bundle.

I hesitated to buy the system because I felt like it was not going to be a huge upgrade from my Xbox series s. Boy was I wrong. This system is a huge upgrade and has been amazing so far!

The system is amazing BUT the hdmi port seems to be much MUCH more fragile than the xbox one x, xbox one s, or even the original xbox one. Right now I have it sent into best buys geek squad program, but even if I didn't have the plan I would have it sent it into microsoft as they have a replacement/fix program as well. Now for the good: I am in LOVE with the high framerate and 4k graphics, not to mention the VRR helps create a super solid gameplay, I can see a huge difference as I use my previous Xbox one X to play on while waiting for the repair, so I can appreciate my ownership of the xbox series x although you shouldn't give into the scalpers, dont give them the benefit of profiting off your impatience to play on it. You might luck out and theyll have a stronger HDMI port by the time you get it, either way youll still be satisfied

I’ve always wanted a new gen Xbox console but I didn’t have the funds for it. So I finally decided to order this Xbox online and set it for in-store pick up. Everything was great straight down to the customer service but I think there should be a more accurate estimate time on pick up. I was told that the order would be ready within the next hour but that wasn’t the case. I got notified that the order was ready after 2 hours and close to closing time. Other than the extended wait to pick up my new console, I have no complaints

I waited a long time on a list when these were very hard to come by and I can say I was not disappointed, all the friendly UI and game availability of Xbox with better hardware. The 120fps makes a huge difference! My only complaint is you cannot turn off quick resume, which bugs any multiplayer game and requires you to restart it anyway

I’ve had this console for 2 years now and it’s still running brand new. no issues with the console. I only have beef with the microsoft servers… oh and the sony rights

Pretty wonderful graphics difference for games like ARK & AC. Tons of space so that’s nice but 4 stars bc we thought we could keep the old one and play on both at the same time in the same house under same internet, like the CS agent told us we could. Very bummed that they don’t allow that !

Good piece of technology. Very quiet. Great controller. But it has no next gen exclusives. Gamepass is a great value if you want to play old games or missed the last two generations. As of right now there are no next gen AAA exclusives. Only offerings are 3rd party titles like call of duty , Valhalla , nba 2k and Madden which are all also available on the Xbox one. Yes the next gen versions will look and play better but it’s up to you if you want to spend $500 on hardware that has nothing next to offer right now.

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

The Xbox Series X is a powerhouse console, boasting impressive hardware capabilities that deliver stunning graphics and lightning-fast load times. Its backward compatibility feature ensures a vast library of games from previous generations, while the integration of Xbox Game Pass provides access to a diverse range of titles. The sleek design and quiet operation enhance the overall gaming experience. However, the limited exclusive titles at launch may disappoint some players. Overall, the Xbox Series X is a top-tier console choice for both casual and hardcore gamers alike, offering cutting-edge technology and an expansive gaming ecosystem.

Open Box purchase - could have fooled me! Everything was like brand new and works perfectly fine. Great deal!

It's like a PC as far as gaming ability but everything else is pretty sub par. If you like gamepass then it's totally worth it otherwise a PC is a better choice.
