Amazing!!! Would def recommend its a great console, works super fast, no loading times

I’ll start by saying I’m not a big gamer. As I’ve gotten older, life gets in the way and I just don’t have time. I grew up in the 90’s so that means Nintendo, Sega, GameCube, and of course Ps1. I had a Ps2, Wii, and 360 later in life. I bought a ps4 around 10 years ago and that was it. I wasn’t impressed with the lack of games, the cost of games, and just wasn’t a fan of the design. Let me tell you, this Xbox changes everything. The design, functionality, ease of use, and the quality are definitely there. This is how gaming should be! I have all of my media in one place, streaming, games, music etc. I can use Microsoft Edge if needed. The biggest thing for me is the Xbox ecosystem. I never got into online gaming on my PlayStation, I was old school and bought all of my games. I didn’t know that there was “cloud gaming” aka streaming. For someone like me, the ease of streaming games for free “Xbox Ultimate” is the best. I can try a game by streaming, then decide to download if I like it. I get bored with a game, just find something else to play by pressing a button. It’s so convenient. It’s almost like Netflix, scroll until you see something you like, press play, and your playing a game. The UI is beyond explanation. With a system like this, idk how Sony or Nintendo could compete, or why they would need to. If there was never another system made for gaming, I would be ok because this Xbox is perfection. For $500, it is a steal.

Glad to be able to upgrade from the Xbox one much better rendering with newer games.

This is a longer review, superb system. Great backward compatibility so far (almost as large or comparable to ps3 backward compatible number of games before last two updates). Microsoft has time and room to improve this system. Most importantly, I love the fact that it has backward compatibility for most of my favorite games. :-) There is a list of games that it works with, somewhere, online. It works with my Hd tv. I hope Microsoft will make it support more backward compatible games like muspell, and kingdom under fire series. Their site says they might acquire more licenses to put more games out for Xbox x. I enjoyed getting free levels and other preorder downloads from free download list under Microsoft store (many of which, are unavailable anywhere else). I got all my games on one 8 terabyte hardrive. The same one that I use with my Xbox one s. (Quite a few with great space for expansion-never fill a hardrive all the way as it can degrade over time). This includes subscription games for Xbox live. Some of the older games even play better in Hd. This is my opinion of the Xbox X. On the downside, I was hoping that a vr system and kinetic sensor would, also, be available later for it at a reasonable price. (Doesn’t seem likely at this time.) Even though, kinetic sensor and games for it on the same hardrive does work on my Xbox one s. It would seem though that the technology seems to be available if Microsoft invests in it. Some vr sets can work in hdmi port. Like a larger screen size than my tv. Larger screen size, better graphics usually. (There is still time for this (for Microsoft to do so) to happen.) It (Xbox x) is supposed to have the greatest graphics on paper. (This requires a 4K tv, 4K hdmi cable-I do not have these, yet, and therefore cannot offer opinion on it (the greatest graphics)). However, hd (on Xbox x) works great on my 5 year old 75 inch tv. It is better graphically on hd than Xbox one s (mortal Kombat x) is. The Xbox x internal hardrive has some space on it. It does not make noises (gears of war character) like themed gears of war Xbox one s. Xbox x runs very quietly. I put some plastic color on it (vinyl wrap) and got a second larger controller for it that fits my hand size better. My Xbox one s controllers (and remotes) do work with the system. I bought it. It works great. It allows me to play games that are from Xbox original, which is cool. It’s newer games are great as well (Devil may cry 5). In comparison, My ps3 could play ps1 and ps2 games (I got backwards compatiblility with it (most of them (even unholy war-I did not do the update that wiped the functionality from most systems))). However it (the ps3) cannot do them in hd like my Xbox x. The my hardrive for ps3 did not go work for ps4 etc. Xbox one s additional hardrive format does work with Xbox X. Graphically, on a Hd tv (Xbox X out competes ps3, sega genesis hd, Xbox one s, my brother Xbox one x, and wii (hd. Cable adapter)), it is comparable to ps4. On a 4K tv at Best Buy (generally), it is much better (but it was a brief test). I haven’t found a second port for cable tv on it yet (I will search for it later (I use Xbox one s as it saves hdmi cable space and can port older systems onto Hd tv -even though these are not hd like backward compatible games on Xbox x are)). Xbox X currently supports a large number of backward compatible games, for video games, from its previous systems with mention that it may expand the range. Security on it is not as cumbersome and is really customizable. Some of the apps are interesting and functional as well. (iTunes library and computer connect etc), Hbo tv, net flix, and Vudu work well. Waiting on final halo game infinity to come out, and test use some of the machines extraordinary computing power that it has on paper. Big points: This is a longer review, than I usually write. :-J Once again, superb system. Great backward compatibility so far (almost as large or comparable to ps3 backward compatible number of games before last two updates that wiped functionality from my brother’s ps3(he(my brother) gave me heads up about it)). Things that would help it most: Microsoft has time and room to improve this gaming system. (Add more older games into hd, provide more free levels and bling to induce customers, add Xbox exclusive vr set system with sensor that can work with the Kinect). Future plans: My family was impressed and intends to get multiple systems (as many as six that is four more) as backups for older systems we have (Xbox original, Xbox 360, Xbox one s, and Xbox one x) and for the family eventual future 4K upgrade. The family is optimistic about Microsoft and system backward compatibility. Also, it (Xbox x) has no problem playing disc media like dvds, Blu-ray, music, and older movies as well. I got a warranty with mine and it has had no issues yet (not caught fire either unlike my microwave (black smoke-manufacturer defect) My brother has no issue with his Xbox x yet either.

Works great with all games. Great upgrade from regular Xbox. Able to play next gen games.

My boyfriend absolutely loves this gaming system. It’s fast & the graphics are good.

Best salesman ever! he was very patient with me and all of my questions. He was knowledgeable and answered me thoroughly. He assisted me with getting more bang for my buck. his name was Ben and I think he should be recognized for his outstanding service..

Bought about a month ago and love this console. This is the second I have gotten and works great!

I bought the last two in the store. Great price! As far as i know they have only a few left in the state of Louisiana.

I have had both the xbox series and ps5 and let me tell you why I kept the xbox and returned the ps5. Xbox series x is the best hands down - Built solid , Runs Very Smooth and Quiet , Hardware is better than ps5 , Quick Resume , Much easier and better organized user interface than ps5 imo , Powering down the xbox series x is way easier and better than going through 3 steps to shut down the ps5 , Graphics look amazing on Xbox series x , Xbox runs games better in 120hz where as ps5 struggles with 120hz, Xbox controller imo is way more comfortable for longer gaming sessions where as dual sense controller starts to cramp my hands after a short time , Internet connection on Xbox series x is way better and downloads games faster than ps5 , Game Pass and Backwards Compatibility on Xbox Series X is awesome as you can play any xbox game all the way back to the original xbox games. Ps+ is very limited and only goes back as far as ps3 games which are streaming only. Also you have to pay for a ps+ subscription to save your data just to save game progress which you don't have to do with xbox. So in other words if you ever have to delete and reinstall a game on ps5 you have to start the game all over. Another win for xbox because you can uninstall a game and reinstall and still continue where you left off. Batteries last much longer with rechargeable battery packs in xbox controllers , Dualsense battery life is much shorter and not that good. In the short time that I had the ps5 I was getting errors saying no internet connection although all my other devices were working fine on 300mbps internet and it also crashed with a black screen and shut down in the middle of a game, Not cool Sony. So to sum it all up imo the Xbox Series X is the best all around console this generation and that is simply the truth and facts. People are starting to realize that the xbox series x is the better console over the ps5 , Why do you think the xbox has been outselling the ps5 , Because it's simply the better console and better value for your money. Ps5 consoles are just sitting in stores untouched , While Xbox Series X continues to out sell it. I'm prepared to be down voted and honestly that's ok , Just telling it like it is and that's the facts. Happy Gaming Everyone

This item is working great, and the graphics are excellent.

very happy with the system. Has done everything i need and more very happy with it.

My husband is thrilled with his new Xbox. It's exactly what he wanted!

To keep it brief, this console is amazing. The last Xbox I had was the 360. I've always been a Playstation consumer, but the Xbox Series X has me really excited for Microsoft's future. I currently own the PS5 and it's a great console no doubt, but I feel as if the Xbox console itself is more premium in quality. The PS5 has a more premium controller while the Series X has a more premium console. I'm not really into the whole "Playstation is better" or "Xbox is better" debate. They are both awesome consoles but since getting the Series X, I have been enjoying it more than my PS5. Game Pass was a new concept for me. I know people who currently have Xbox One's have had Game Pass for a while, but it was amazing for me given I haven't had an Xbox since the 360. I can confidently say that Xbox is doing an amazing job with Game Pass. It is far better than Playstation Plus and the Playstation Plus premium package deals. Makes the Xbox actually feel like a gaming console rather than a pay a lot to play. One dollar for the first month of Game Pass, and then it's $15 a month to continue the subscription. I just canceled my Netflix and can say I've used Game Pass more than Netflix and I actually don't have all the time in the world to play games either. The insides of this console are incredible. I watched a teardown of both the Series X and the PS5. The Series X is much more impressive with the parts and pieces that are actually pretty pricey parts and it amazes me that they managed to keep the price at $500 still. If you're asking yourself, do I get a PS5 or a Series X. I would of course say get both, but given that Sony has been increasing the price of the PS5 and it is not as easy to come by, I would say get the Series X and don't stress about the PS5 right now. The Series X is much easier to get, the design of it in my opinion despite it being very minimalist, is actually nicer than the PS5 and it's a little smaller than it too, and you can finally enjoy next gen gaming without having scavenge for a PS5. Game Pass is great to have as well and with it you can play basically every new game, and has titles that start from the original Xbox all the way to Xbox One/Series XS. Also if you're like me and have a few Original Xbox games and Xbox 360 games, you can actually play them on your Series X because Microsoft actually made their console backwards compatible. If you've been more of a Playstation person I feel your hesitation, but this console is actually worth it. Not hating on Sony but I wish they had made their consoles backwards compatible like the Series X. But yeah if you're wanting to play next gen games, get the Series X and get the PS5 later when they come out with a Slim or Pro model. Overall I didn't expect to like it this much.

Arrived on time and in good condition, love it. Thinking of buying another for my living room.

Wanted to save money and went for an 'open box'. The condition was pristine...very satisfied.

Works great, was too expensive but what not nowadays. Games sinc on their own from old model

Grandkids love it! Got it for a birthday present and now he is the most popular kid on the block!
