Customer Ratings & Reviews

It’s the best ever, and I’m a veteran gamer. It’s about all I can do these days ( officer veteran and retired sheriff ). I served most of my life protecting people and I loved doing it. I’ve had over 20 surgeries and I’m 47, I still hope to have another 47 or more to game. I love Microsoft, Xbox, etc. I paired mine with the exclusive Seagate Expansion Card. I can build computers, this series is just amazing, the best, I can’t wait for an exclusive console like a Diablo 4 one?!!! Microsoft, please get ahold of me, I’d be willing to test your games, products, consoles, etc. I’ve been gaming since the 70s!

Awesome purchase. Great graphics, super fast and games play seamless and load up quickly ….

Had the One X before this and despite that console also being 4K capable, the Series X blows it out of the water. The graphics are noticeably better, and the load times are incredibly fast. It is relatively quiet as well. Transferring to the new console could not have been any easier, and all my games from the last console were waiting to be downloaded in upgraded versions, which was pretty great. If I had one nitpicking complaint it’d be the aesthetic design-the thing looks horrible in my media stand-but that doesn’t bother me particularly.

Great console. After playing my old Xbox One heavily since it came out I figured it was finally time to make the switch to new gen. Immediately I recognized the loading times for every game were significantly improved. And I do mean significantly. This is the biggest draw of the new console (for me), as it makes finding matches, fast traveling, and switching between games lightning quick just to name a few. Furthermore, every other technical aspect is improved in some way from old gen, which is to be expected of course. Graphics are even more beautiful and the higher FPS (frames per second) means you'll even have a competitive advantage against players who are still on old gen consoles.

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!

Huge step up from my previous Xbox. Graphics and load times drastically improved. Best console since the 360

Was a bit upset this was the only console I could buy that would play DVDs and hard copies of games because of the price difference. But honestly the performance of the console is on a whole other level and this is one of the best purchases I've ever made...Besides, Xbox should give some kind of trial to game passes for making a $600+ purchase?

Got this for my husband, speed is great, the graphics are great, hubby has no complaints

Fast loading, new quick resume features delivers almost instantaneous gaming experience. The footprint is on the larger end of gaming platforms but the design is very meticulously, could easily pass as a decorative piece on your console.

Allows seamless switching between multiple games, smooth 4K gaming, high frame rates, and generally quiet console that integrates well.

Quiet, cool, and fast... graphics are fluid and the wireless controller is comfortable and responsive...no problems yet... if you have the mean, I recommend.

Another hit by Microsoft. The latest Next-Gen Xbox console is a beast of a powerhouse. To get the full benefit of this wonderful machine, plug it into a 4k or UHD TV. Mine is in a 65" Samsung. Graphics are incredible. Boot up speed in lightening fast. It is bigger than the Xbox 1 and Xbox 1x. Boy not too big I did sit mine horizontal instead of vertical. Less chance of it getting knocked over. Plus, it fits better where I wanted it to go. But it can go either way as there are plenty of vents to cool of the console.

My career path has evolved to the point where I want to do as little "IT" management at home as possible. Coming over from the PC crowd I had my reservations about what this little black box could accomplish having grown accustomed to flagship products on the other side. Against all odds, I've found the gaming experience to exceed my expectations. Graphical fidelity, fluid gameplay and ease-of-use make the Xbox Series X a must have for every gamer no matter their title.

If you are looking for the best Xbox experience with both normal games and games with the highest graphical fidelity and have a 4k hdr TV this is the console to pick if you can. If your using a 1080p TV the Series S is a great option. The only potential criticism of this console has nothing to do with the Series X its self rather its due to microsoft releasing two separate Xbox consoles at the same time with different specs, this leads many developers to develop their game to Series S specs as opposed to taking advantage of all the Series X power and capability. The result is there are many games who don't truly take advantage of the Series X specs. This issue really started last generation where the xbox released the Xbox One X which had similar issues in that if a game was optimized for it, it was amazing but most games were not. On the playstation side game devs only have to develop to one spec the ps5 which makes it easier for them to optimize for that hardware. Of course this is not a a ps5 review. Overall I am very pleased with the Series X it is a solid console with a great controller and more storage than the series S although I never had storage issues with the series S as long as you have an available internet connection. In the future I would like to see Xbox drop the two console spec approach but really I can't complain. The Series X is simply the best xbox ever created.

Happy to say this purchase was totally worth it and my boyfriend is definitely enjoying his xmas gift! Fast with great picture! No complaints!

To be 100%. I upgraded if you would say from an Xbox One X. From last gen to this gen I was say I'm the most disappointed because I feel like I got nothing except for a faster machine with better graphics but don't get me wrong I love the performance and graphics now I can take full advantage of my way too expensive TV. But going from playing call of duty vengeance on the One X and now on the series X the only difference is speed performance and graphics which is what it was meant for. I'm in my late 40s I've been an Xbox fan since the Xbox I even had the internet adapter and all of that that did absolutely nothing but I had to have it. I stood in line for 14 hours to buy the Xbox 360 in 05' And I proceeded to buy Three of them. I've proceeded to purchase every generation after that. Previously in the prior generation releases it was a totally different console and different game that did not play on the previous generation console. So what I'm saying is that it's just an upgraded console and the games are optimized for the new console I understand the games are now going to be produced and the standard format for the new console which makes common sense. But don't get me wrong I did purchase it and I do love it and I do use it every single day and I'm using it right now watching YouTube. It allows me to utilize my way too expensive TV and all of the great picture quality graphics I'm old give me a break. Lol I love it. I'm just a tad disappointed that it wasn't the same kind of totally different console it was just like a upgraded console that can now play games of with better graphics and performance. That's all I'm done. I don't even know why you read this you know you want one you just can't get one I was lucky. Keep trying I was addicted I looked everyday probably 10 times a day reading articles that had updated availabilities if you want it you'll put in the time and the effort and you'll get one. And do not buy one off of eBay for any market because you can get one no matter a fact after I got mine from Best buy I got an offer from GameStop I had to turn down. Keep trying Good luck. A.k.a.

Great Xbox, great speed, and great graphics, very happy with this

Best console. Next gen graphics, expandable storage, game pass, quick resume. The Microsoft ecosystem is the best in gaming and only getting better. Took one star off because there really is no reason to upgrade to next gen yet, but if you can afford it it’s a must buy. In a year from now when more next gen games are available it will be a 5 start experience.

I have owned this system since release in November, so this review is not a first-impression take. First, like most systems launched these days, there were some quirks and bugs at launch, but those have since been ironed out. The UI is the same, which can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. I personally view that as a positive because I knew where everything was when trying to troubleshoot some of those early bugs. Second, I realize Xbox had no dedicated or exclusive games for this gen at release, but having access to and playing my library of both old and new Xbox One games in better quality and speed has more than made up the lack of exclusive titles. New (and current) games offering Series Optimized updates were/are stunning and I feel only scratch the surface on what this system can do overall. Smart Delivery has also been a huge plus in upgrading games that have an optimization without having to really do anything. Hard drive speeds have been nothing short of impressive. Load times on basic XBOne games are a fraction of my One X. I also picked up the Seagate expansion storage, and there is nothing different between games played off either drive. Transfers between the two are a snap (if you know the UI), and I can attest that a 40 GB game takes roughly 90 seconds to move. And finally, there's Quick Resume, easily the most next-gen feature that feels a little underrated. While it doesn't work on all games, such as some online-only games, it has been a breath of fresh air for larger games that have larger load times (Assassin's Creed Valhalla was my best test case). Let me offer this up as well: for the first time in my gaming life, a new console generation actually outperforms most current-gen TVs. I have a 4K/60Hz LG panel that has been an awesome TV, yet I would have to upgrade to get the most out of this system. That doesnt mean an upgrade is necessary, however, as everything I've been able to play in 4K/60 has been amazing. And as a note, I probably won't be upgrading the TV just yet. If you can find this system at stock price, you will not be disappointed. If you are more of a casual gamer, don't discredit the Series S either as it too is an awesome little system.

Although a currently elusive item. After weeks of trying to buy one I managed to grab one online here on my birthday no less. Console is amazing and truly feels next gen. Later I purchased a 4K HDR tv to go with this. The graphics and loading is insane. GTA will fully load in about 30 seconds, and if you have ever played gta before you know you could make breakfest and eat it before this game booted up on last gen. Games coming out such as Enlisted and BF 2042 really are showcasing the power of this console. Can’t go wrong!
