Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for my son for Christmas and it has been great to play games with him.

Pristine console, works amazingly and still hasnt had issues. Great christmas gift

TLDR; Great system, love the backwards compatibility. I have got hours of fun out of it and would buy it again. Future is shaky, but what is here is pretty good. Graphics - Image quality in most cases is very good. Framerate in most games is also very good, usually 60 FPS. There are a few games that are locked to 30 FPS, but those are very few and far between. There is a trade-off in some games where if you want the sharper graphics, you will need to deal with 30 FPS. Or if you want the smoother gameplay of 60 FPS, you end up with an image that is fuzzier or in some cases down right blurry. Library - Very good library of backwards compatible games, some of which even receive resolution or FPS boosts or both. Most current gen third party games are also on Xbox. The downside is exclusives. Xbox does not have a lot of exclusives outside of Halo / Forza / Gears. And they are not receiving the Sony exclusives in the foreseeable future. You would do well to make a list of games you want to play and make sure none of them are Sony exclusives. Controller - Great upgrade over the Xbox One version. Very comfortable. Not as big of a leap as the PS5 Dualsense controller (that one really feels next gen). The battery life is amazing, especially if you get a charging stand and a battery pack. Audio - No complaints, although I am not great at rating sound. It outputs to the TV and it sounds good, not sure what else to say lol. Storage - 1TB in 2024 is a little on the small side. You will need an external SSD or an expansion card. I would suggest 2TB for either. Also, the external option will only play Xbox One, 360, and Original games. The expansion card will play all games. Online Play - You need Gamepass Core to play online (with a few exceptions for free games like Fortnite, Roblox, Apex, etc). I think it's around $60 per year. Gamepass Ultimate is pretty nice if you play a lot of games or you would like to try out Cloud gaming on your tablet / phone / laptop. You also get a lot of new releases like Indiana Jones and Call of Duty day one at no extra cost, which is a nice perk. The Future? - Xbox seems to be in a transition period right now. Their current offerings and the console itself are very good. I will say that Xbox does not seem very clear on what it wants to do in the future or how it will successfully execute whatever vision they may have. That may not matter to you in the long run, but it is something to consider. Conclusion - This is a solid console that will provide hours of fun and good value through Gamepass. The somewhat uncertain future and lack of a clear direction from Microsoft does make the console look a little less compelling, to the point that I felt the need to take one star off of what should be a 5-star system. I would still recommend it to a friend as it represents a good long term value combined with Gamepass. Just maybe hold off on building up a big library until Xbox clearly communicates their future plans.

It works great, pretty fast, very quiet. It's a good upgrade to the Xbox one

Loads quick and smooth. Like the small footprint and ease of use. Not sure why but also like the physical drive.

I really had no choice but to buy a new Xbox. Mine was really old and I couldn’t play what I wanted to.

If you pair with the Game Pass works great since they have alot to choose from. Excellent video games console, high quality, great graphics, fast, easy to use.

Super fast! Surprisingly quiet. Easy to setup and sync your account if you coming from the last gen Xbox. I had the Xbox one X so I hesitated to jump on the band wagon so I waited. Very happy I took the leap because Im an impatient person lol.

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

Title: Unleashing Gaming Power: Xbox Series X Review The Xbox Series X is a remarkable gaming console that exceeds all expectations, pushing the boundaries of performance, graphics, and immersion. As a gaming enthusiast, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the power of the Xbox Series X, and I am delighted to share my thoughts in this review. From the moment you power on the console, you're greeted with seamless speed and responsiveness. The Series X boasts an impressive custom 8-core AMD Zen 2 CPU and a powerful RDNA 2 GPU, providing unparalleled performance and visual fidelity. Games load in an instant, and the quick resume feature allows you to seamlessly switch between multiple titles, enhancing the overall gaming experience. One of the standout features of the Xbox Series X is its support for 4K gaming at 60 frames per second (fps) and even up to 120 fps for compatible titles. The visuals are breathtakingly detailed, and the improved ray tracing technology adds a new level of realism, making games come to life like never before. Whether you're exploring vast open worlds or engaging in intense multiplayer battles, the console delivers smooth gameplay with remarkable clarity. The inclusion of a high-speed SSD significantly reduces loading times, ensuring minimal wait times between gameplay sessions. Combined with the console's impressive backward compatibility, the Xbox Series X allows you to enjoy a vast library of games from previous generations with enhanced performance and improved visuals.

With Xbox Live, you can connect with friends, join multiplayer matches, and access a variety of entertaining apps. Xbox Game Pass, on the other hand, grants you access to a vast library of games, including new releases from Microsoft Studios on the day of launch. This subscription service provides exceptional value and ensures you always have something new to play. The console's design is sleek and minimalistic, featuring a monolithic tower-like shape that blends well with any entertainment setup. The cooling system is highly efficient, ensuring the console remains quiet even during demanding gaming sessions. The redesigned Xbox Wireless Controller offers improved ergonomics, responsive buttons, and enhanced grip, resulting in a comfortable and immersive gameplay experience. In conclusion, the Xbox Series X is a powerhouse gaming console that sets a new standard for performance and visuals.

I purchased this as a gift!! The payment process was very easy and pick up was seamless! I always have a great experience with Best Buy which why I choose them for my larger purchases. They always feel and secure! And of course the game system is top notch! Only the best for my family.

amazing really good graphics good selection of games i can spend hours playing

I have no experience with Microsoft Xbox Series S, but I do have a Microsoft Xbox One... Obviously the Series X specs indicate it is better than the Series S, but the machine is far more capable than the Xbox One. I can play all the games I loved on the Xbox One with its backwards compatibility, and now all the games targeting the current platform. Another great feature is the ability to play 4K Blu-rays. The interface isn't as intuitive as a dedicated player, but it allows me to take full advantage of my 4K tv in ways I couldn't before. I would argue a big drawback is the storage. Modern consoles have games that take up a lot more space. Unfortunately, modern storage expansion options can be both limited and expensive. The Microsoft Xbox Series S|X would be much better of their were more affordable options for storage expansion.

I absolutely love this Xbox X! It has backwards compatibility, 1 TB SSD, and I've not noticed any lag. I am relatively new to gaming and this system didn't disappoint.

Great game console for my grandson! Loved how fast it was and the color black

Great graphics and fast play easy to set up and go will recommend to everyone
