Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for my brother as a gift and he loves it. No issues to date! Best Buy is our gaming needs go to

Hmm should i get a ps5 or series x. If you dont want to buy both like i did i will tell you what. Ps5 exclusives and dualsense feel great (and the future psvr2 i bet will be amazing coupled with this console) BUT series x is less cumbersome in multiple areas. Not only is it more pleasant to look at but the memory is larger. You can expand the memory a lot easier and if you are a cinephile like myself you get dolby vision atmos and dtsx support out of the box. So if you have a compatible tv you can stream movies and play 4k blu rays with dolby vision/ atmos and dtsx support. Lets not forget Dolby vision for gaming. All in all i love my series x (the stock controller sucks though. I had to buy an elite 2 controller to adjust for the horrible deadzone.)

My son loves his Xbox glad the associates gave me recommendations on what one I should purchase . I know nothing about gaming systems they helped with everything

The heft suggests a quality build. The unit is silent and the temperature only warm enough to let you know there is a lot of power inside that case. The weak point of the Series X is the UI. It's a catalog of everything: titles, settings, achievements, apps, community, events but poorly organized into piles: the Game Pass pile, the Store pile, the Entertainment pile and the Events pile and a main pile containing owned games, settings, achievements, Xbox Assist, HDR calibration and MS Store. It reminds me of the accumulation of the disorganized collection of tiles in Windows 8; a large number of them pushing items on sale from the MS store. My series X is connected to a large 4K TV but the display looks like it's on a 4-inch phone. Quick Resume is really neat. The game play, graphics fidelity and performance are the reasons I bought the Series X and I'm not disappointed.

Needs a manual on how to get started for someone who is unfamiliar with the gaming console.

Really really love the Series X so far. It’s the speed of the box that gets you. It’s sooooo fast. I had to boot up my One X on another TV and I had forgotten how much slower it is. Games load so fast now and quick resume (when it works right) is amazing. Auto HDR is making old games look even better and the frame rate improvements makes everything run buttery smooth on the LG CX. It’s also whisper quiet. The icing on the cake though is Gamepass. So much greatness streamed to this amazing box for a low monthly fee. There are so many good games my backlog is out of control. Luckily I’m saving so much time on load speeds I may get caught up soon. If you can get one I can’t imagine you being disappointed. It’s a fantastically well engineered machine that works really well. I love it. Good luck and I hope you’re able to track one down because it’s worth every penny.

Had it a couple years now. Got it Christmas of 2023 on sale. Never regretted the purchase

I love my console, the quality is awesome, the speed is amazing and the ability to store games is incredible.

Owning a ps5 I held off on getting a series x for awhile now. Got mine this weekend and I’m beyond impressed. Runs games I have on ps5 smoother. Also great seeing more games from steam making it onto the Microsoft store. I should have jumped on it sooner. Also dealing with Microsoft customer service is a breath of fresh air.

The Xbox Series X is an odd console to review. It’s certainly great in performance with support for 4K 120Hz HDR and improves performance of all games new and old, but as of now it lacks that “wow” factor that really makes it stand out compared to the older Xbox One X. I’ll admit I originally wanted the PS5 but settled for the Xbox due to lack of supply, but when I say that I mean it in terms of innovation, such as how the PS5’s new controller makes games more immersive with it’s dynamic triggers and rumble motors and a lineup of games both current and speculative based on the studios Sony has that just seem more fun. Looking back at Xbox’s history, there aren’t many unique games and franchises that I can think of; Halo, Gears of War, and Forza are the only major ones that I cared for, and even then those were all basically the same game. Fortunately it seems that Microsoft might actually care about delivering on exclusives this time around with its many studio acquisitions. Honestly the best thing about getting an Xbox over PS5 is Game Pass, which isn’t really saying much. While it’s great that players have access to a variety of games they can choose from the reality is that many of them are simply not interesting enough or are games you probably already played, especially if they were AAA games. Take for example the current lineup of AAA games, which includes Skyrim, Fallout 76, Gears of War, Forza, Doom Eternal, and now recently everything that EA Play already had in there like all the Battlefield games, Need for Speed, Star Wars Battlefront, and more: for a new player just starting out, this is an absolutely great value considering all the choices you have. However, for someone like me that generally buys these new releases for the sake of playing with my friends, many of the titles I listed are ones I’ve already played and don’t have interest in playing again. And while all of Microsoft’s new releases will be included with Game Pass, as of now and looking ahead a few months there isn’t anything coming soon. In conclusion, the Xbox Series X is a console that needs more time to really appreciate. It’s great for replaying older games for nostalgia or perhaps those that you missed, but if you’re looking for anything new aside from universal releases like from Activision, Ubisoft, EA, and Take Two you won’t find it here yet.

The Xbox Series X is known for its exceptional performance, offering lightning-fast load times due to its 1TB NVMe SSD. Games look stunning with support for DirectX Raytracing and enhanced graphics. The console's backward compatibility and integration with Xbox Game Pass provide access to a vast library of games, making it a great value. I really love it!

I LOVE my Xbox Series X. It’s everything One X did but 10X better which is what you kinda of want for a generational upgrade. The OS is the same across all gens similar to iOS that in runs different on each phone but it’s recognized if you saw it. The games load faster, play better and I’ve encounter far less crashes. Quick resume is great for people who jump between games a lot but i tend to play 1 or 2 games before moving on. I mainly play 1 story driven game at a time and then maybe a sports game or smaller Indy title. So quick resume i don’t take advantage of a lot. The console is whisper quite and can set it all up via an app. Great console! Also i haven’t talked about the games cause well like the PS5 there really isn’t any truly made for next-gen yet but a lot of older games on last gen are getting upgrades to run better on these new consoles.

I’m a big Xbox fan and I love this purchase. This is going to be a centerpiece of my home entertainment system for years to come so I’m glad it’s future proof with 4k/8k and 60/120fps. Can’t wait for the new Halo to launch and show off these capabilities.

If your looking at a series x you likely already know just about everything about it so I will only say that it is as good as they say. I have had it little while now and put a lot of hours in with no major issues and lots of fun! The load screens are ridiculous and the performance is very consistent. Only issues I have had so far have been with the quick-resume feature. Mainly on online games which require server connection. Sometimes when I am opening a game on quick-resume like Hunt-Showdown, it gets frazzled trying to reconnect to the servers and it’s just faster to close the game and reopen it which takes all of about 45 seconds or less to get from closed to matchmaking. Build-quality is the most solid I have felt so far from any system. It feels like you could drop this system on the floor and it would crack your floor.

It was a great buy and it met all my needs I got a lot of fun out of it

Absolutely incredible. I love the quick resume feature. The games I've played run amazingly smooth with great load times. Haven't had any issues whatsoever. I am completely amazed by this console. The new controller is very similar but a great improvement. It has a great weight and feel and the overall shape is very comfortable. Setting up the console has never been as easy, being able to do everything through my phone. I didn't think going from one x to series x would be such a large improvement but I am pleasantly surprised to find what I thought was another incremental improvement has completely reinvigorated my desire to play through my library. Doom eternal and sekiro have blown my mind running on this system not to mention the optimized titles like ori and valhalla. I dont see how anyone could regret upgrading to the new generation. Absolutely worth it.

Awesome system. Fast when booting up and loading games. Amazing visuals with backwards compatibility with all xbox consoles. Console is ridiculously quiet even when playing demanding games. The best feature by far is quick resume, allowing me to jump right back into different games even after playing other ones. Just note that when you have game pass, the storage fills up FAST. You might need to think about getting an external SSD when getting this console...

I’m glad I became a Best Buy member honestly the best thing u could do helps a lot wit everything u buy it comes wit a protection plan and the employees are really great as well will come back again to get more stuff

This console has been excellent so far. Its received near daily use between my wife and myself. Playing games at a silky smooth framerate has been nice and the visual quality that is able to be afforded by certain games thanks to the processing and GPU power has been nothing short of excellent. Well worth the price paid. Only gripe I have is that I wish a 2TB version existed just because the size games are achieving nowadays.

Son obviously loves this thing, plays all his old games too
