    Best console on the market. The SSD is very, very fast. I paired this console with a LG CX OLED and it's remarkable. I came from playing on a Xbox One X and this is a huge upgrade. I recommend purchasing the proprietary SSD from Seagate as well if you want to play a lot of games that are optimized. If you can find one, get one.

    XBOX Series X is delightful

    I’m not an XBOX guy. I used to be with the 360, but when PS4 came out I went in hard on that and with all the “exclusive” Microsoft games going on PC, I didn’t have a reason to get an XBOX. With my PC having issues now after so many years of use, and with parts became scarce and expensive lately, I decided I’d track down a Series X to exercise my new big screen and play some Halo and man I’m glad I did. This thing is sweet. Super fast. You really feel that SSD doing it’s thing. Amazing display, runs quiet. It’s a great and well built machine. Also, it doesn’t seem to run that hot either. I know it’s tough to find one but if you’re into what Microsoft has to offer and a PC is out of reach, it’s worth hunting for one of these and shelling out the dough.

    I had been a PC gamer for many years when my friends talked me into getting an Xbox One so we could play together. It was fine, but the Series X is the piece of gaming hardware that made me feel like I no longer need to spend money on a gaming PC. The load times are excellent, the graphics are completely satisfying, and the community is tight-knit. Most members of the Xbox community seem to know my mom. The elite controller and storage expansion cards really round things out and make the Xbox Series X feel like a great replacement for anyone looking to get away from the desk and onto their sofa.

    The most powerful console I have ever used. The set up was easy (of course it was like setting up any console). Game pass makes it that much better. You can hook up an external hard drive on it if 1tb is not enough for you. Very fast, amazing graphics and just overall a great console.

    Network Transfer! Who would have thunk? Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2022 Style: Series X I have owned every Xbox (multiple) that has been manufactured (I am 69 yrs old) and always had to re-download all my games (well after CD'S). I discovered games can now be copied from the old to the new using my home network. Just plug both into the same router start both up go to settings then system, backup and transfer then network transfer, allow network transfer, select your old Xbox and you will get a list of your games to select for copying to your new Xbox. Piece of cake! Sure beats downloading, especially if you have a bandwidth cap like I do. As for the Xbox X it is quite a few steps above the Xbox One. Much faster, graphics are out of this world. Of course I have a 4k tv which allows the Xbox X to display stunning graphics

    The Xbox Series X is hands down the best console I’ve ever owned. From the moment I powered it on, I could tell it was built for serious performance. The graphics are stunning, load times are almost non-existent, and everything runs buttery smooth even the most demanding games.

    I bought this for my son. The speed is much better than the previous Xbox One we purchased at Best Buy. He is very happy with the improved graphics and changes made to the controller.

    Originally was going to purchase the PS5, ended up being able to get the series x and I do not regret it. Real fast, looks amazing, love the ui and the classic controller is comfy. Only problem I have is when installing from a disc it’s loud af and takes a while but that’s it. Great console. Recommend for sure!!

    Very solid gaming system. Fast speeds, visual stunning, backward compatible with, I believe, more games then other units. Difficult to buy one, but lucky enough to grab one. Seems to run quiet and not as hot as other gaming systems. Haven't bought any new titles yet. I am sure they will be even more impressive.

    This Xbox console is so dope the graphics and speed are fast and amazing little but pricey but it’s worth it was able to download all my games I used from my Xbox one to here I really recommend to just buying online games to your account rather than getting the disc

    While the next gen exclusives are lacking for now. The console is a powerhouse. Runs completely silent, and is lightning fast. Gamepass gives plenty of options for gaming. Though games capable of flexing its full power are still rare.

    Storage is great, graphics are great, and loading is faster than ever! It’s a joy playing with this console, and I’ve been trying to get one for so long. It’s worth the money, and the hype. I’d HIGHLY recommend. Be careful though, it’s a bit heavy.

    I love how for just $500 you can achieve high end PC graphics. As a PC gamer an an xbox owner, I was initially upset when booting this up for the first time to find that it performs and looks just as great as most PC’s that are 3-4 times the cost of this console. Yeah, sure, there are limitations as to not bejng able to play all games with Keyboard and mouse, but more amd more games are being released with support. That isnt the Xbox’s fault, but more the developers. About my only complaint but not on the Xbox itself. Solid purchase though. Have had one since launch and my wife now has one to play and relax in our bedroom.

    great system, quick load times, quick power up, graphics are improved but not greatly although they look better because everything just flows better when playing games. The controller just feels better in your hands while playing, I like the textured grips on the back of the controller. Overall a fine system so far.

    Im only just getting started but this is my first new system since PS3 and first XBOX since the original. Obviously thisbis a major upgrade over those in graphics, load times, overall smoothness of gameplay. My only knock and I know this is consistent among new platforms, but when you first load a disc expect it to take 30 min to an hour to load onto the system and do any updating. A small price to pay for modern gaming. I instantly bought Halo Master Cheif collection and Fallout 4, so I’ll be set until the new college football (hopefully) comes out!

    My Xbox series X runs amazingly. I’ve been having so much fun since I got it. Every single game loads up so quickly and seeing things in 4K 60 is really smooth. I was surprised that NBA 2k finally loaded up within 5 seconds. That game always struggled to load on my Xbox one and took forever. The new controller is very comfortable and grippy and sometimes prefer it over my elite controller I have. I also purchased the Xbox game pass ultimate. It contains Xbox live gold and a huge collection of games. And I believe it’s worth every penny especially for avid gamers. Storage does get filled up pretty quickly in my opinion. Downloading Cold War and warzone at the same time took up 200-300 gbs of space. I recommend using an external hard drive for the older Xbox one and 360 games and to save the internal storage space for the big series x/s games. If you have the money for the ssd expansion go for it but I’ll wait for a price drop because I believe it’s way too much money. If you get the opportunity to buy the console then you won’t regret your decision.

    I really had to weigh my options between the PS5 and the XBox Series X, but I am so happy with my purchase of the Series X. The XBox plus a subscription to Gamepass is the best deal in gaming. The unit itself is the quietest gaming console I've experienced, the controller feels sturdy, and the graphics and gameplay are top notch. I love being back in the XBox ecosystem, which I haven't been in since the 360. So if you are on the fence between the PS5 and the XBox, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and have zero regrets. This is the best gaming console since the XBox 360..

    Microsoft outdid themselves. The Series X performance is the best there is right now out of all the consoles. I have a PS5 as well and its great to, but no VRR yet which is a big deal if you if you have a good tv. I have the Samsung q90t from 2020 and i can see the difference especially at 120hz. The acquisitions they purchased like Bethesda and several other great developers (Obsidian) may close the huge gap the ps4 gained over the Xbox one last generation. Very happy i paid regular price. Got lucky spamming best buy and picked it up with no issues. I also got the $79.99 protection plan for piece of mind because these consoles are going to be hard to get for awhile yet. Also the series x plays more games at 120hz than sony. Mass effect legendary runs all 3 games at 120 and sony at 60 which is a notable difference. Kudos to Microsoft for admitting its mistakes from last generation and fixed all of them. Game Pass for $14.99 is a steal to say the least.
