I purchased an Xbox Series X as a replacement to my aging Xbox one. Overall I have been not just happy but impressed with the responsiveness and loading power of the new console. Games take seconds to load into as opposed to minutes on the old console. Adding to that the fans are virtually silent. The interface itself is nearly identical to the xbox one yet everything feels sharper and more refined. A nice aspect of the series X is its backwards compatibility. Though this console is cutting edge I still maintain the ability to play with friends on older consoles, this includes my girlfriend who I gave my Xbox one to.

Best console i ever owned.
plays blu rays, 4ks, dvds, CDs, xboxOne and SeriesX games.
supports up to 120fps and 4k.
i upgraded from a xboxOneS to this and my rank in RocketLeague went from stinky Plat to Diamond2.
Gamepass is a must. its like Netflix. 10 or $15/mo to get access to a library of 500 games. new games are added every month. most xbox exclusive games are on the subscription. the brand new ones are put on there the first day theyre released.
great system.
you could also download emulators to play old nintendo and PlayStation games on it. theres a YouTube about that.
old xboxOne controllers work on it.
yeah, great system.
such great value.
best console i ever owned.
best value in gaming.

Picked up the Xbox Series X from Best Buy and so far it’s been a win. The setup was like butter!
What really stood out to me was the Best Buy employees: the sales staff didn’t just ring me up, they actually walked me through storage options, explained the warranty terms clearly, and patiently answered all my “first console” questions. Felt way more confident buying, thanks to that human touch.

It was time to upgrade my old Xbox. I was skeptical if I would even notice a difference with the new x elite. I was pleasantly surprised with the video graphics and smooth game play. It’s definitely better overall in graphics and smooth fast game play. It’s an entertainment machine.

If you loved the Xbox 360 (minus the red ring of death lol), you’ll LOVE this console! It feels like the true return of Xbox to the greatness of gaming that it once was. I own the Series X and PS5. While I love both, there is no denying that I get way more value and use out of the Xbox. The SSD in the Xbox is in practice almost as fast as the PS5’s (barely any noticeable difference, and definitely none in the games). PS5’s SSD is much faster on paper, but I just haven’t seen the significant benefits of it over the Xbox yet. Maybe we will one day, but I figured we would have seen at least some significant advantage in that deparment for the PS5 by now, but we simply have not. Xbox Series X beats the PS5 in power everywhere else though. The only places where PS5 beats the Xbox Series X in hardware specifications is the SSD and the Wifi 6 card (although my PS5 is always lagging, so I don’t see any advantage here for the PS5 at all. My Xbox hardly ever lags connected to the Wifi). I’ve found the Xbox Series X to have way less frame stutter than the PS5 as well. Additionally, games are starting to look and perform better on Xbox Series X compared to PS5 as well, although it took about a year (at least it’s finally happening, though, and that should be the trend going forward!). The Xbox also has better features than PS5 (the UI is better functionally, quick resume is amazing, and playing with friends is a lot easier on Xbox). The DualSense controller for the PS5 is nice, but the new haptic feedback and adaptive trigger features slowly faded away for me over time. They are nice features though, and I do hope that Xbox implements them in future iterations of their controllers. I don’t find it to personally be a dealbreaker. The PS5 DualSense has better controller features, but the Xbox controller is much more comfortable to use for a long or short period of time. All in all, the Xbox Series X just cannot be beat for features, friends, online connectivity, GamePass (incredible value, entirely optional and not necessary to have in order to love the Xbox), console design, controller comfort, and all around fun factor. If you can only get one of the consoles (Xbox Series X|S or PS5), as an owner of both, I highly recommend the Xbox!

I wasn’t expecting much when I picked up a used Xbox—but wow, was I wrong. From the moment I plugged it in, it felt like I’d stepped into another world. The console booted up smoothly, barely a whisper from the fan, and before I knew it, I was deep into Xbox game pass, flicking through games like I was unstoppable.
Despite being pre-owned, this Xbox has clearly aged better than me. The controller? Still snappy. The graphics? Still sharp. And the hard drive came with a few leftover games that were basically a bonus treasure chest.
Gaming sessions have become the best part of my day. It's fast, reliable, and surprisingly clean (I have seen some markings to show it was used). But this console? No regrets. Just pure, pixel-perfect fun.
So yeah—It might not be new, but the memories I’ll make with it? Those will be legendary. All thanks to Best Buy!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm very impressed with what the Series X has to offer. I'd gone with Playstation for the last several generations and felt very underwhelmed by the PS5 design and what it has to offer.
The backwards compatiblity support is amazing and I am catching up on the 360/XB1 exclusives I missed in the best possible way on a 4K TV.
While it's a big console, the shape and design are easy to work with. It also runs cool and quiet.
I was a little worried about using batteries in the controllers, but having a batch of rechargeable AAs around is very easy to work with. Unlike with the Playstation controllers, I don't need an extra one for battery emergencies. The rechargeable batteries last for days between charges. It's also cool that XB1 controllers work on the Series X.
I would actually recommend this to PS4 owners who aren't overwhelmingly thrilled about the PS5. It has a lot more to offer right now in the way of exclusives you probably didn't play yet and it is much, much easier to get one (Fall 2021).
Included pictures of it against my PS4 Pro to help get an idea of its dimensions.

I recently purchased the Xbox Series X from Best Buy, and it has exceeded every expectation I had for a next-gen gaming console. This machine is a powerhouse, delivering stunning 4K graphics and buttery-smooth gameplay with its lightning-fast loading times thanks to the SSD.
The design is sleek and modern, fitting perfectly into my entertainment setup without taking up much space. What truly sets it apart is the performance—whether I’m exploring vast open worlds in Starfield or battling online in Halo Infinite, the visuals and responsiveness are top-notch.
The Xbox Game Pass is the cherry on top, offering an incredible library of games at an unbeatable value. It feels like I’m discovering a new favorite every week! Plus, backward compatibility allows me to enjoy classic titles without any extra hassle.
Setup was a breeze, and the console runs whisper-quiet, even during intense gaming sessions. Best Buy’s fast shipping and secure packaging ensured my console arrived in pristine condition.
If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate—this console is worth every penny. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, the Xbox Series X will elevate your gaming experience to new heights!

The Xbox has been an amazing upgrade for my gaming setup. The load times are almost instant, and games run smoother than ever with the quick resume feature. The graphics are sharp and realistic, and I love how quiet the system is compared to older models. The controller feels comfortable for long gaming sessions, and having Game Pass gives me access to a huge library of games without spending extra. Whether I’m playing solo or online with friends, this console delivers a top-notch experience. Highly recommend for both casual and serious gamers!

I've been using the Xbox Series X for several months now, and it has truly transformed my gaming experience. As someone who enjoys a variety of games, from action-packed adventures to expansive open-world titles, this console has exceeded my expectations in every way.
Performance and Graphics:
The first thing that struck me about the Xbox Series X is its incredible performance. Games like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption II run flawlessly, with breathtaking graphics and smooth frame rates. The console's ability to deliver stunning 4K visuals with ray tracing and 120 fps makes every gaming session feel immersive and lifelike. The load times are impressively quick, thanks to the high-speed SSD, which means I spend less time waiting and more time playing.
Game Selection and Features:
One of my favorite aspects of the Xbox Series X is the extensive game library. I’ve been able to dive into Assassin's Creed Valhalla and explore its vast, beautiful world with ease. The backward compatibility feature is a huge plus, allowing me to revisit some of my old favorites from previous Xbox generations with enhanced performance.
The Xbox Game Pass has been a game-changer for me. It offers an incredible selection of games, including new releases, which I can access without having to purchase each one individually. This has allowed me to try out games I might not have otherwise considered, broadening my gaming horizons.
Design and Usability
The design of the Xbox Series X is sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into my entertainment setup. It operates quietly, even during long gaming sessions, which is a significant improvement over previous consoles I've owned. The controller is comfortable to hold and responsive, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
Overall Experience
Overall, the Xbox Series X has been a fantastic addition to my gaming setup. Its powerful performance, extensive game library, and user-friendly features make it a standout console. Whether you're a casual gamer or a dedicated enthusiast, I highly recommend the Xbox Series X for its ability to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience.

Oh my goodness, to say that I made the inner child of my husband incredibly happy is saying the least. He has been begging me for an upgrade to his current Xbox to this one. When he opened it, he was like a kid on Christmas. He was so incredibly happy. I have never seen him game so hard or achieve so many new levels of excellence in his gaming. New skill unlocked, best wife ever.

I've never had an xbox before. I've had all the other systems before but decided to see what the hype was all about. It was easy to setup and sign in and the graphics are great.

I finally upgraded from the Xbox One X that is a beast of a console for what it is. I have many disc games so a digital console is out of the question for me. I can now finish Borderlands 3 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands in an upscaled 4K at a butter smooth 60fps or a somewhat smooth 120fps. Red Dead Redemption 2, although it does not have a 'next gen' update for more than 30fps. I enjoy it only taking a few seconds to load into the game instead of the 5 or so minutes on the One X. Other games like COD, Forza and The Quarry; all look and play amazing on the Series X. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend to others, unless you just wait for the next Xbox to release.

I'm very satisfied with my product. From the attention of the young man in the store. The orientation of how to use the product and the difference between one product and another. The way I could pay for it and apply to make it easier for me. I'm very happy and my daughter is more happy than me. Thankyou

I went from an original Xbox one Battlefield one edition that I purchased in 2016 to this absolute beast for gaming, and it has been absolutely phenomenal. For gamers that enjoy Xbox products I would highly recommend this to anyone.
