    Best console I have owned so far.

    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.

    Powerful system, well designed and absolutely silent. If there weren’t an indicator light I would have no idea it’s on. I can’t even hear the fan. The OS is the same that everyone is used to from X1 and X1X, so you’ll feel right at home.

    Paired with gamepass this system is amazing. Preforms very well, loads quick, fair amount of storage. Only downside i believe is xbox still doesnt come with rechargeable controllers from factory.

    Series X is absolutely everything I had hoped for and every positive review I've read prior to purchasing my own has been pretty spot on. It's super fast compared to my Xbox 1 S I used before this and does look much better graphically as well. The biggest thing I noticed right away was simply the huge gap in speed though. As I play more Series optimized games now that the loads and lag isn't as bad, bad at all really, I look forward to seeing more of what it's capable of. Also fyi, became a best buy customer based off the fact they aren't jacking the price of it up like literally everyone else is at a time when they're still difficult to get and definitely could abuse. Best Buy, FTW!

    Xbox Series X is a powerful console with few flaws

    Microsoft has done an excellent job with this new Xbox series x. The pros are obviously visual new graphics and the loading speeds. Yhe console is backwards compatible for xbox one and 360 games unlike PS5. The cons are that the console gets very hot on top and they removed the one guide and convenience of being able to power on ans off all your devices with the touch of the X power button, such as TV, surround sound/ sound bar, cable/ satellite box. The games take up alot of space, I've already purchased the Seagate 1 TB card.

    Can't beat it...minus the lack of exclusives

    BestBuy actually had the best system for avoiding scalpers of all the other retailers in my opinion. Lots of sitting on the website and waiting, but it paid off for me. Been enjoying my Series X for nearly a month and have to say its awesome. The biggest thing I have noticed since moving from my original Xbox One Console to this is the noise. This console is dead silent. I have not heard the vans kick in once, regardless of what you're doing on the console. I tested it by launching Red Dead Redemption 2 and closing it, then re-launching it, then closing it, then opening Cold War and then closing it to give it a real stress test. It was able to handle it no problem and didn't make a peep. This machine is a real beast, if you can get your hands on one...do it! Only complaint is lack of exclusives, but hope that changes

    Less of a “next gen” feel, more of an improvement in quality of life. Load times are crazy fast and graphics are more refined and fluid. Quick resume is my favorite feature at the moment. Get the most from the new hardware with Game Pass!

    Xbox Is Worth It

    I have always been a Playstation guy, but I loved the game Halo. I remember playing the game when it first came out, except I always had to go to a friend's house to play it. Now that I can play the real thing, I have to say I love using my Xbox. The user interface is pretty simple to understand, and the setup was rapid, probably 10-15 minutes before I could do something with the machine. I did buy one Halo game with the Xbox. I would say the one frustrating thing was how long it took to install and update the game before I could play it. If you're buying this for someone as a gift and plan on including a game with it, I recommend unboxing it, setting it up for them, and downloading all the updates so they can use it when they receive it. However, I imagine this is the case on any game system, so I don't think it is unique to Xbox. The other tiny grievance is that you run out quickly, even with 1TB of space, so do yourself a favor and buy an expansion drive. I hope they decide to make more storage capacity options in the future. Overall, after getting acclimated to the controller and suppressing my PlayStation mind, I love this and would recommend it to anyone. I do not regret not buying a PlayStation. When I was shopping for a gaming system, I was ready to purchase a PlayStation without even thinking about it because I've been part of that ecosystem since the beginning. However, the difference in price between the two consoles is what did it for me. I'm sure we could debate the nuances of each console and why one is better than the other, but if you bottom line it - if you buy the Xbox, you're getting the same great experience (if not better) for a lot less money.

    I got very lucky in being able to preorder this back in october and I am so very satisfied with it. It is by far the happiest I've been with a gaming console purchase in my life. The load times/quick start functionality is just amazing. The only problem with that is waiting for your friends who have previous generation xboxes to load up their game! I also love the design/profile of the system. This is a console that will look at home in any home - whereas the same cannot be said about the gaudy PS5. You already know this, but if you can get your hands on one of these as MSRP, do it without even thinking about it. I hope that in the coming years Microsoft releases a VR headset that leverages the power of this system, or works out some kind of deal with Facebook/Oculus. It needs to happen!

    I recently upgraded to the Xbox Series X, and I must say it has exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The power packed into this sleek console is truly remarkable. The graphics on the Series X are stunning, with 4K gaming delivering an immersive and lifelike experience. The inclusion of ray tracing technology adds an extra layer of realism to the visuals, making every game a visual spectacle. One standout feature for me is the quick loading times. Games load almost instantly, allowing me to jump into the action without any frustrating delays. The seamless transitions between different games and apps showcase the impressive hardware capabilities of the Series X. Backward compatibility is a game-changer. I can revisit my favorite Xbox One, Xbox 360, and even original Xbox titles with enhanced performance. It's like having a vast gaming library at my fingertips. The Xbox Game Pass subscription further enhances the gaming experience, providing a vast selection of games across various genres. It's a fantastic value that ensures I always have something new and exciting to play. The design of the console is sleek and minimalist, fitting seamlessly into my entertainment setup. The cooling system is efficient, keeping the console quiet even during intense gaming sessions. In summary, the Xbox Series X is a gaming powerhouse that delivers on its promises. Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, this console is a must-have for anyone looking to take their gaming experience to the next level. Microsoft has truly set a new standard with the Series X, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

    More Evolution than Revolution

    Coming from an Xbox One X everything about this new system feels more like refinement rather than an evolutionary overhaul. Both the old system and this new system share the same UI. The design language is very similar, especially the controller. Added grip and a "Share" button are about the only things different with the controller. That said I'm very happy with the product. Quick Resume is a game changer and I'm using it much more than I thought I would when I heard the pre-release press announcements. Games still look great and I'm sure this console has more power than my TV knows how to handle. I'll probably upgrade my TV sometime within this console generation to take full advantage. If you game a lot it is definitely worth an upgrade. If you're more of a casual gamer it's probably smarter to wait.
