Xbox is amazing. Good graphics. Just amazing in general

Love my xbox. It is fast and still gets used every day

Best Xbox yet! Sleek and is also a nice decor piece. 10/10 product I prefer this over the PS5

It was a very long eight years, but the prophecy has finally come to pass: a console worthy of its weight in currency, a gaming behemoth capable of smashing apart all of the old benchmarks, and a literal box that plays games. The list continues, and so do the benefits of buying this thing. Let me make it straightforwardly clear: even though this console lacks the whole "launch exclusive" flair that consoles of this class usually enjoy, don't be discouraged from buying it. All of those Xbox One games you had? They will- and I repeat- WILL: * Play Smoother * Look Better *Load Faster Because GDDR6 RAM, a blazing fast SSD, and a processor twice the size of the previous generation's does that to your games. But lets get real for a second: I could talk about what the specs are on paper all day, and I could ramble even longer about the glories I experienced in vague detail. So let me explain to you WHY this console is a great buy. 1: For previous Xbox One owners, the console is natively compatible with all of your accessories and natively runs all of your games. The list of Backwards Compatible titles for Xbox One also carries over. This means ALL of your headsets, your controllers, your HOTAS flight sticks (if you ever managed to buy one of those things), and even your external hard drives are all able to just plug and play! (Note: Before you draw conclusions about external SSD and HDD performance, note that only Xbox One/360/classic titles can run off of them. Xbox Series X|S content cannot perform at marketed speeds outside of the internal SSD or the optional 1TB expansion card that Seagate sells. This means that organizing which content gets the executive treatment is a MUST.) (You also don't have to reformat the drive, which is very nice.) 2. For somebody who never owned an Xbox One or any of the previous generation's consoles/games, you're getting spoiled by this console. No, the games didn't always look this nice. The textures on Overwatch were very crunchy on my Xbox One (2014), I don't even know how I tolerated Sea of Thieves's frame drops on both that console and the One S, and don't even get me started on how both Modern Warfare and Black Ops: Cold War managed to run on either of those consoles, because I have zero clue. Although you may have seen it coming, those three titles were some of the first ones I started playing on the Series X after I finished getting my content sorted out. The results, as you guessed, were quite contrary to the prior listed complaints. 3. For the crazy people like me, who stuck with the second batch of the 2014 Xbox Ones until finally acquiring this console, the Series X|S is a fever dream when you compare the speeds and responsiveness of certain games. (It will blow your mind, I promise. It's exactly what you've been waiting for.) The games, on the other hand? The hardware acceleration is astounding. Xbox One games ran in higher definition and in better quality than they ever did before, the optimized content really put on a show for what this bad boy can do, and the ray tracing is a really nice touch to the visual fidelity of the images it produces. But, okay. Maybe the games aren't very important to you. Maybe you're more curious about the console's updated controller. Lets get into that. The Xbox Series X|S controller is very reminiscent of the first, if not largely identical in appearance. The actual peripherals on the gamepad are updated, though. Joysticks The joysticks didn't really feel any different from the previous design. Perhaps less prone to drift, but mostly the same. The texturing on the stick was nice though. DPad Interestingly, Microsoft incorporated a scaled-down version of the Elite controller's basin-like DPad. This version is not a touchpad- it's a clicky DPad, much unlike the soft-press ones found in the original One controllers. Triggers & Bumpers These are my favorite changes. The bumpers and triggers feature integral texture patterns, and perform in an interestingly different way from the originals. The bumpers don't move as much as they used to while still having a nice click, and the triggers have a more precise- and smaller- rotation radius. It's a more compact version of the original design, in that sense? Share Button Although I don't personally use the share feature as a whole, the times when I accidentally used this button always ended up capturing things instantly. There wasn't a delay, it was just "oops, I pressed it, and there's the screenshot." ABXY Pad There really wasn't much of a difference here, not that I could really detect. The press was more shallow than the original design though, which was nice. (I don't really have much else to say on the controller, other than some advice: Invest in a pack of rechargeable batteries and a charging station. Trust me: These controllers annihilate batteries. Rechargeable batteries will make using Xbox Controllers a lot better. You COULD have it be wired through the new controller's USB-C port, but this is just the better option.) Okay, so the controller isn't anything terribly special. But what about the setup? How easy is it to just plug in and play? Setting it up is the easiest thing in the world, given that you have the Xbox App and a previously existing Xbox account signed into aforementioned app. Lets start from the very beginning, and assume that you have those two things ready. When you unbox the console, the first thing you'll see is the Xbox all wrapped up in it's pretty packaging. Once it's out, somewhere nearby you'll find the controller; two AA batteries; and two cables: an ultra-high-speed HDMI cable, as well as the power cable. The power cable plugs into an average joe outlet and into the back of your console, and the HDMI cable connects to your TV and the console. The controller uses the two batteries and should instantly connect to the console. (If it doesn't, then press the sync buttons on both devices and stop pressing once they're both blinking rapidly. They should link soon after that point. Once the console is all booted up, and once the controller is connected, you'll follow the on-screen prompts that will tell you how to complete and finalize the console's setup. If you choose to forgo the app, then that's okay. You'll get through it eventually. (And once you're past there, you're all good to buy, redownload or reinstall whatever games you want! Just remember that the online services for most games require the Xbox Live Gold subscription.) And that's pretty much it! I would 100% recommend this console to anyone who wants to buy it. It's worth every cent I saved up for it, and I know it will amaze you too.

Never had a problem with Best Buy! This is the only place I will buy my electronics from!!

My son has been waiting quite some time for an upgrade. We were finally able to make it happen. He loves it

My son loved the new style of it. Makes it easier to put in a bag to take on trips.

It was an amazing gift. They loved it! It has great graphics and it performs well. The controller is smaller than I expected, but it feels nice. The storage capacity is good for now, but I can see needing an external storage device later on.

I had a great experience at the store. The assistants were very helpful in guiding me with my product selection, and I was able to purchase my item promptly

I bought this xbox a few ago and it works perfect. I upgraded from earlier model and it is night and day difference

The Xbox Series X is a powerhouse of a gaming console. It's fast, sleek, and packed with features that enhance the gaming experience. The graphics are stunning, and the ability to play both old and new games is a major plus. The 1TB of storage is more than enough for my needs, and the user interface is easy to navigate. Overall, this is the best gaming console on the market and a must-have for any serious gamer.

The Xbox Series X is everything I hoped for and more. Super fast load times, smooth gameplay, and the graphics are incredible—it really shows off what next-gen is supposed to be. Setup was quick and easy, the system runs quietly, and Game Pass makes it even better with so many games ready to play right away. Definitely worth the upgrade!

Had this console for a year already I had no problems with the console game feels so smooth and amazing WiFi is across my house and still feels so good I recommend a Xbox series X but the controller is very bad but the console is amazing I bought a better controller for my Xbox overall gameplay feels amazing

My 14 year old & his brothers love it. They play alot of games, watch shows, etc.

Great! We love the item but wish it had more storage

Loved the service in bestbuy it was quick and easy really appreciate it and still enjoying it till this day thank you best buy

I own The Xbox one X and did not expect much of a difference especially early on. But the series X surprised me and there is still a long way to go as far as game development. Very exciting! The series X offers Dolby Vision as well as HDR10, VRR, Freesync and Dolby Atmos, among other features. I am very satisfied with it.

Ordered online, picked it up within an hour of purchase!!! No hassles, no lines. Set up and Gaming within 2 hours of purchase.

Bought for my son for Christmas, it was a great Buy

XBox îs by far the superior gaming console and BestBuy is by far the best place to buy it from. They didn't have one available at the location that I live by but they found one for me at another location so that I could head over there and pick it up. Everything went smoothly and everyone there is always extremely helpful. Thank you
