Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a fantastic machine. It's extremely fast all the way around. Start up time for loading games compared to the One X is no comparison. It loadsnin seconds instead of minutes. The one bad thing is the Series X doesn't have an optical output. If you have a headset using this, then the headset may either need to be replaced or a firmware update would be required as mine did before it will work with the Series X. The controlers are similar to the One X, but reuires a different battery and back than the older controllers.

The Xbox Series X is the ultimate gaming machine for anyone who loves video games. It is fast, powerful, and beautiful, and it offers a great variety of games and services to suit your preferences. If you are looking for a positive review of the Xbox Series X 1TB console in black, this is it. You will not regret buying this console, as it will provide you with hours of fun and entertainment.

Love the carbon black finish design. The console is big so make sure to have ample space to store it. Amazing how quick games load and how smooth they run. Glad I was able to get my hands on one.

I love it! It plays all my old Xbox games but they load faster and look better! I love the grip on the new controller. The Xbox series x is so quiet I have never even noticed it make any noise at all.

So far I've had an amazing experience with this item. Such a far improvement over the xbox one. The internet connection is better because of the better reciever on the new xbox x series, so my games run smoother online. As well as better video quality in game with minimum to no lag. I definitely recommend this item to others!

Great console. Worth the wait and effort to get it. Super fast. 60 fps regularly. Easy to move over from last gen. Game pass has plenty to keep me busy until some 1st party games drop. 2020 has been saved

Series X is probably the best xbox console to date. The system loads quickly and the "quick resume" feature is real handy. It does emit noticeable heat over extended use (like over 1hr). But the system never slows down or anything. The only "con" I can think of is the hard drive space. 1 TB sounds like alot but these games are sometimes 100gb+. You can download series x/s enhanced games to a regular external hard drive but to actually play them you have to buy seagate hard drive (which is another $200+) to play the games. Overall happy with the console.the

Love xbox been a fan since the xbox 360 have never strayed away frin it until recently when i got my ps5 but i havecno intentions on getting rid of my xbox x series......always a fan

After 4 mths. of trying to purchase an Xbox Series X I decided to try one more time on Best Buy's site. I nearly fell out of my chair when viewing 'saved items' in my account and seeing the 'add to cart' available. If you are still looking, use Toms Hardware for updates on availability and the several Twitter accounts listed there for the most up to date drops. This is what I did and it finally paid off. Do not give in the scalpers, you will feel much better after you finally own one for the retail price. The good news is much more stock is on the way and retailers like Best Buy are using methods to counter scalpers. Soon everyone that wants an Xbox Series X will be able to get it. After upgrading from an Xbox 360, it's simply mind blowing playing the Series X. It surpassed my expectations in a console. Talk about value, $500.00 is a bargain. It's impossible to build a PC with Series X specs for that price. The console itself is built sturdy and heavy, almost like a brick. I love the monolith type design. It's very quiet and boots up extremely quick. The cooling fan and the design work well keeping things cool. I read there's been a few reports of overheating but thankfully this system seems to be performing great. The disc loader uses no tray and 'grabs' the disc quickly and loads it. The inputs/outputs are pretty straight forward and easy to understand. Playing Forza Horizon 4 at 4k@120fps is an exhilarating experience and truly lifelike. Going over 200mph and actually feeling like real life is amazing. I've never felt that before from playing a racing game. Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate looks stunning and the characters move very fast, yet every detail and motion is clear without any lag whatsoever @120fps. The system is worth the wait.

love it! always been an xbox first gamer. still will be

Xbox has made a better and more impactful console than ever. It feels smooth, gameplay feel impactful, everything is more enhanced. Would recommend buying this console more a gift, yourself, or if you want to play with other.

Worked well great game pass only complaint is how greedy Microsoft is charging $650 for this console. At that price you are getting close to pc range.

Everything about this new system just feels premium. From the controller and cords to the Xbox itself. It's not as big as I thought it would be, it actually looks nice compared to the eyesore that is my ps5. Pairs perfectly with my lg cx oled. Check all the boxes for the next gen features. Games look and play super clean in 120fps with vrr on. Older games feel like Brand new games in 60 or 120fps. Now I'm questioning how I was ever able to play games before at 30fps. Well there's definitely no going back now. I've waited this long for the perfect console and it won't hurt to wait a bit longer for true next gen games. Until then I'll be enjoying my current library the way games are supposed to be played.

I placed the order at the store. They told me they would have it there in 2 days. I said to lady it was my son's birthday as long as I have it by Sunday. I'll be good and the store. Had it on the day that she told me it would be there which was Thursday. I didn't have to stress. They contacted me. Via text message, it's working as it should. So for no issues thank you

The Xbox series X is the best console! I love the storage capacity. It’s really nice that it has a drive for games that you have purchased that aren’t online. It’s very easy to setup and connect to WiFi or hardwire it into your modem. I love the graphics with this system. Highly recommend!

Can totally tell the difference already from the one x. Runs really great. It’s really quite and the controller feels a little different but in good ways. It is very big though so make some space for it.

As of February 2021 the following statements are simple objective truths. The Series X comes with the largest hard drive of the three main console manufactures. Microsoft is the only manufacturer allowing the use of the previous generation’s controllers. Microsoft is the only manufacturer allowing backwards compatibility for two or more generations of games. If you consider hard drive space a commodity or a second controller mandatory the Series X is cheaper than its direct competitor while offering similar in game performance on latest gen games. These are all facts. The following is purely opinion based. The two best features currently unique to the XBOX are its ability to upscale older games to HDR10, and the ability to rapidly switch between different digital games with quick resume. The upscaling and rock solid frame rate on older games add something to them that is hard to quantify. It’s not perfect and on some games can be jarring but I have yet to have a bad experience with it and have been really impressed with the effect on Geometry Wars and Battlefront 2(2005). Quick Resume does not get enough credit. Taking a quick break from one game to play another sounds like a small deal. It really is not. Quick resume does not lock in the user. It allows multiple people to play games on the same console without closing the other person’s game. Want to play some multiplayer with your kid and not close your current single player epic? Go for it. Have three kids ranging in age from Lego to Resident Evil? Not as much of a problem. There are a few bad things to say about the XBOX. First, online play currently requires an XBOX live or Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Game Pass is often toted as “the best deal in gaming” and I would recommend trying it out for at least a month to any XBOX owner but this is a draw back. It’s also one shared by Microsoft’s competitors so this is more of a heads up for anyone fresh to the console gaming scene. The second is the proprietary hard drive expansion. Current gen games are monstrous in size and not getting smaller any time soon, they also require onboard SSD storage to run. The days of loading all of a consoles games on a single cheap external hard drive are gone. Now properly managing data storage is a necessary skill as older games (XBOX, XBOX 360, and XBOX ONE titles) can run off of cheaper external hard drives or SSDs while Series X/S titles must be loaded on the internal hard drive or the proprietary external card. To be fair, Microsoft’s closest gaming competitor has this issue as well and currently has their internal storage expansion disabled pending approved hardware arriving on market. If you have to buy from approved vendors only, it might as well be easy to install. Xbox Series X/S consoles do not have as bad of an exclusive games problem as people often say it is. Every professional reviewer in the world has felt the need to hammer on the lack of exclusives. Microsoft knows this. It’s already being fixed. Was being fixed before anyone outside the company knew it was a problem. XBOX owns some of the best game design companies in the worlds these days. The exclusives are in development and the multiplatform games are coming constantly. Series X enhanced titles are surprisingly common and are typically good if you want some eye candy in the meantime. Finally XBOX stock controllers do not come with built in rechargeable batteries. Anyone familiar with how short the life can be on these should consider this a perk. There are Xbox 360s still in service today because the controllers can use batteries or have their rechargeable battery pack swapped out. TLDR: The Series X is the best deal in gaming.

Very fast and quiet! I love how Forza Horizon 4 looks optimized for series X. Load times are amazing and I have all my older games on external hard drive. I purchased the Seagate expansion card as well.

I highly recommend upgrading to the Xbox Series X. The load times for next gen games is extremely quick compared to the Xbox one. I upgraded from an Xbox One X and as far as the picture quality goes, the difference is minimal. This will change once developers utilize the Xbox Series X increased power. You will see a significant increase in overall performance if upgrading from the Xbox one. I’ve enjoyed the few next gen games available and look forward to all the Xbox Series X exclusives being released in 2021. I’ve had zero problems transferring my games via network transfer. The transfer speeds were very quick. If you’re able to upgrade, do yourself a favor and update to the next gen console.

have been a gammer all my life. This new console that Microsoft has made is in my opinion the absolute best in this generation.
