Customer Ratings & Reviews

The salesman was very knowledgeable and very professional

Works great! Haven’t had any issues as of yet and had over a year now

It's just fantastic. Still able to play old games from back in the day

Awesome product!! Highly recommended and will buy again.

Highest performing console I have ever owned in my life!

Needed a second Xbox for my setup, also Xbox is forcing everyone to upgrade or be left out. I wanted to be able to play with my friends who have the Xbox series S or X. This upgrade should last me a few years.

Great product with a wide range of options for gsmes if using Game Pass

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.

Xbox is not love. Xbox is not life. Xbox is awesome and you won't regret it unless you never use it.

Perfect upgrade from my Xbox One with the perfect power

Excellent performance. Easy on-line ordering & shipping

Love my console. Had stopped gaming for a few years, once I installed my new console I have yet to want to put the controller down!

Console runs great. Have had no issues since getting the system

Love the graphics and is super nice for all the ages my son love it

Awesome console, especially if you get it when on sale. I am shocked by how much you can do on this console, with emulators being supported by using Dev Mode(which also allows people to develop games without expensive developer hardware), or the hundreds of games Game Pass gives you access to. Not to mention the amazing backwards compatibility it has, supporting all Xbox One games, and almost all Xbox 360 games, which is pretty big for me. Only issue i’ve had is the storage. Although 1TB isn’t insignificant, it fills up super quick with some of the newer games, Call of Duty for example, taking 250GB. The storage expansion sucks on this console unfortunately. Unlike the PS5 where you can simply purchase a normal sized M.2 SSD to expand the storage, here you’re forced to choose ‘licensed’ official memory expansion cards. This wouldn’t be terrible if they didn’t charge significantly more than what they’re worth. 4 years ago the prices of the storage might’ve made sense, but charging $350 for a 2tb SSD in 2024 is criminal, especially when there are no other options.

My son and I love the great graphics and variety of games available!

My daiggter saved for months to buy. Setup was easy enough and her old remote controllers worked great with this system. We love the fact that all of her Xbox one games work with this console as well.

The Xbox Series X is a powerhouse console with cutting-edge specs, fast loading, and extensive backward compatibility. It's ideal if you're looking for top-tier performance and a robust gaming library. Best Buy sale model — great if you're after savings. Standard retail— steady stock, full warranty. Digital-only variant — no disc drive, slightly cheaper. highly recommend

What’s to say about this? My son is on it constantly and loves it. Plays all his games on it and takes good care of it!
