Customer Ratings & Reviews

We purchased this a year and a half ago and it's still running perfect. We connected a compatible external hard drive to increase our storage space and had no issues with it detecting it and using it.

I was on the sense of buying one of these because the last system that I had was Xbox 360 but I am so glad I made the choice to buy it even though I don't game a ton it's way worth it because of the specs

Great product... Amazing graphics.. super fast loading time. Lots of memory.. glad I bought it !

Better performance than i thought. Wasn't hyped for the Games, just the ability to stop a game, start one,; then Resume a previous one at razor fast loading speed. Thanks!

Its an xbox, it does xbox things and it does xbox things well. what do you expect?

It’s well worth the money to have this system love how fast it loads and how the graphics are

I bought this as a gift for my son. He is super happy with it.

Just what I expected. nothing less. XBox for the win.

My kids love the quality and pictures of this console. Its a must have at home for this Christmas.

The best One of the best consoles we have had, I recommend it.

The Series X is absolutely the best VALUE console... if you can get your hands on one that is... First, the hardware, the Series X has a 1TB NVME SSD, with about 800 GB available after the OS files take over. Compared to the Series S 512 GB with about 360 available for user files, or the PS5's 825 GB with 667 GB of usable space. Why is storage so important? Because next gen games CANNOT be loaded on to an external drive. As of this review (Feb 2021) there are still no expansion solutions for the PS5. Xbox Series can use an external drive to store the games and play backwards compatible games, so there is a bit of a relief if you don't want to spend $220 on a 1TB expansion card. The console itself is surprisingly small, while still monolithic, it is noticeably more compact than previous generation consoles in terms of sheer volume. I found it's far easy to put my Series X into my backpack with some other stuff. I do travel a bit for work so my use case is a bit more unique, but it's nice nonetheless. That being said, you may want to check you can fit it into your entertainment center due to the cuboid shape. The controller isn't a huge departure from the Xbox One generation, the inclusion of a dedicated capture button is a welcome improvement, as is the addition of textured grips and updated VERY CLICKY d-pad. The PS5 controller seems to be having issues with drift due to the new design, so if it ain't broke don't fix it. Performance wise, this is easily the fastest console on the market in terms of actual day to day use. Quick Resume functions far better than the PS5's game suspend function, as I've noticed the Series X can keep a couple of games suspended, even when powered off and unplugged, the PS5 seems to just keep one in memory and only while plugged in. Backwards compatible games absolutely fly, and with the work that Xbox has put in to make BC games perform better I have found myself playing older games that took forever to load. There aren't many exclusive next gen games but Gears 5 is noticeably better looking on a 4K TV compared to last generations powerhouse the Xbox One X. Cross platform games generally have more options on the Series X than on S or PS5. For example on Cyberpunk you have a 60 FPS mode or a 4K mode (that runs at a LOCKED 30 fps and runs at higher quality setting than any other console in terms of ray tracing and npc density). The PS5 only has one option and it appears to be a 60 FPS mode. The weak part of the Series X would be the lack of games if it wasn't for GamePass. If you're buying an Xbox without GamePass you may as well not buy any Xbox as it is THE reason to get into the Xbox ecosystem. Access to every new Microsoft produced game day one is fantastic. I barely purchase games anymore as most of the games I want to play are on GamePass, the inclusion of EA play in Ultimate definitely the way to go. The reason why you may not be interested in an Xbox is the PS5, which frankly at the time of writing this review has a better next gen library. I understand that Xbox studios is working hard on new games but the PS5 has the stronger launch lineup. If you have an existing Xbox library, or don't have a last gen console then the Series X is the far better value proposition as the Series X has 4 generations of games available instantly thanks to GamePass. If you're wanting to check out GamePass but don't want to spend as much money and are more invested in the Playstation ecosystem, it might be more prudent to check out the Series S due to the lower cost of entry. You will be hampered by the significantly smaller drive and the focus on 1080p gaming, which is fine for people looking for a bedroom console or fortnite machine for the kids. In conclusion the Series X is the best console for the money right now, and will likely hold its value far into the future. The PS5 controller issues and lack of expandable storage make it a wait to buy until stock and hardware issues can be sorted out. The Series S will likely be easier to buy and cheaper, but you might find yourself wanting to upgrade in a year or two when next gen games REALLY take advantage of the hardware.

This was a birthday present and I loved how easy it was for me to narrow down the right console. The new look is great and I also love the games im able to play!

Perfect gift for Christmas for my younger brother.

Awsome speed and very good controller response blows our old xbox one s out the water the game environments are way richer and have more stuff going on

The Xbox Series X is a great system to get into current gen gaming and gives you great performance at an affordable price compared to building an equivalent PC. We haven't had this kind of fidelity and frame rate with a gaming console ever so it's a first. If you get the All Access Bundle you get wonderful value here. I recommend buying this if you want the best performing Xbox system, or a Series S if you want to go a little cheaper and compromise on the performance somewhat/ graphical quality. But for the future Series X is 100 percent the right way to go.

Family fun! This is a staple in our household now!

MY DAUGHTER IS EXTREAMLY HAPPY WITH HER NEW XBOX!!

Have had this for almost a year now. It runs great and even though it's a little bulky, i like how it looks. We've had no issues with it. Runs great!

Xbox is always has great performance. Only issue would be the price increase

This is my first Xbox after being a loyal fan of the PlayStation since the ps2. I was finally able to nab one of these a few days ago and have been loving the fluid nature that this hardware has to offer. I've played a few games on my 4k TV and let me tell you its next level. I also got a game from the microsoft store from 2015 and it looks amazing on this console. The only thing I really don't like is the download speeds. For some reason it caps at around 160ish mbps when the rest of the device on my wifi are running at about 350 to 400 mbps. Its a bit odd but just means downloading things take a bit longer than i would like.
