    The xbox series x is definitely worth it. It has super fast loading speeds compared to last gens and I personally noticed higher resolution and better gaming performance. Too. All around plus for me. Get it 9f you can. You will be happy.

    Its the first xbox i have ever owned and my mind is blown! Its designed to be paired with a gaming monitor so results may vary. Dont waste your money on a cheap gaming PC because this is way more bang for your buck.

    Nice system. Everything written about this system is accurate. A little difficult to get use to an all digital system. Not sure why there isn’t more apace offered but I suggest getting and external hard drive immediately.

    I have a switch oled and it costs more yet not quite as powerful. And I get that Nintendo markets and appeals differently. But this system performs awesomely!

    Great system, graphics are top notch, super fast loading of games as well. Size of the console it's self is cool too, small enough to put anywhere. If you are ok with not have a physical disk drive, this console is perfect for you.
