Customer Ratings & Reviews

North tenth McAllen Best Buy had wonderful customer service. From the moment my husband and I stepped in we were greeting with a warm hello and how my I help you today. The gentlemen helped my husband out in the direction of where to get a replacement for my son’s oculus. Then he told me where I could go find the Xbox system and accessories. The young man in the back helped me with my selection of an Xbox. Told me the difference between the game systems and what gadgets are included. He helped me out to the best of his knowledge because I myself am not a GAMER. I am horrible with names but if I could remeber his name would give him a shout out in this review. My husband was able to order another oculus without any trouble. As we proceeded to check out with the xbox the associate cashing us out asked us about applying for a Best Buy card which, we were approved! Thank you Best Buy family. Happy holidays.

The XBOX Series X was everything I was hoping it would be! This was a massive upgrade over my original launch XBOX One. I can finally experience 4k gaming which looks incredible and the system never skips a heart beat with butter smooth consistent frame rates. Launch titles may be limited as of now, but that doesn't mean you don't have anything to play. With hundreds of games to choose from with its backwards compatibility from all generation, you have no shortage of games especially if you have a Game Pass subscription (which I highly recommend). Nonetheless, there are still a handful of launch games that can utilize the power of the Series X including COD Cold War and AC Valhalla, while also optimizing previous gen. games such as Forza Horizon 4 and Gears 5. I can't wait to see future exclusives such as the next installment of Forza and Halo and how they utilize the power of this console. Overall, I love everything about the Series X. From the minimalistic matte black design, the familiar controller, and the blazing speed.

Great game play and user accessibility, lots of great features

Xbox has been great. Still love playing the high graphic games.

This marks my second purchase of the Xbox Series X, unfortunately. The HDMI slot on both consoles has proven to be excessively loose, making it prone to accidental disconnection with the slightest tug on the HDMI cord. The trouble began when I tripped over the cord while attempting to relocate my original Xbox Series X, resulting in issues. Considering the option of repairing the loose HDMI slot, the estimated cost stood at $250. The uncertainty surrounding the quality of the repair job made this prospect less than appealing. Numerous horror stories circulated about third-party repairs, instilling a sense of caution. Fortunately, as of my current typing, the Xbox is available on sale for $399. For just $150 more than the repair cost, I opted to secure a new system. This decision not only spared me potential headaches with repairs but also granted me a brand-new console at a reasonable price amidst the ongoing sale.

The Xbox Series X is an excellent piece of hardware. The SSD storage makes for really quick low times. The Quick Resume functionality was something that I thought I'm not really that interested in I don't need it, but after using it for a couple weeks now it makes the overall gaming experience much more pleasant. The excellent backwards compatibility that's been implemented in the Series X is really quite astounding. You get support all the way back from the Xbox One to the original Xbox game console. Pretty much every backwards compatible title has enhancements in low times, resolution, frame rate, and some have added HDR support. If you're just joining the Xbox family for the first time from PlayStation or Nintendo, a must have is Game Pass. You get access to hundreds of games from Microsoft's back catalog and even some new releases, along with the majority of Microsoft first party titles. It's an excellent value. Now for the not so good parts. The overall OS/UI it's just pretty much a copy and paste of the Xbox one OS. I've never been a huge fan of it but it gives the job done. I've always preferred the Sony OS because to me it felt much more simple and easier to use. The Xbox Series X controller is a solid controller. It's an improvement from the Xbox one controller, I like the texture grip, and the d-pad is improved which for me is a big plus because I like to play a lot of 2D action games and I don't like using analog stick for that. But Sony has really knocked it out of the park with the Dualsense controller which makes Microsoft controller seem a little less exciting. The biggest negative of all with the Xbox series X, it's just the lack of first party games. But I'm buying into this ecosystem this time around because with all the recent studio acquisitions Microsoft has made it looks like the first party lineup should be much better this generation. The reason that I give this five stars despite the negatives that I've mentioned, is because this is a hardware review not a software review. I hope you found this review useful and somewhat insightful.

My daughter and boyfriend are over the moon for this console.

the KING of Next-Gen consoles. Was FINALLY able to get one through the All-Access package. Best bang for your buck. $35 a month for the console, 24mos game pass, & 24mos Live Gold. Microsoft outdid themselves with this package and made it easier and more affordable upfront for customers to get their hands on this system. It’s no different than when you do installments on your phone & pay for your service monthly. This was genius and discourages scalpers.

Nice gaming console. Sleek looking but kind of bulky

Bought this for my son. He is so happy with it. Loves the graphics and how real life the game feels.

Better than Ps5 i must say! Ive been a Playstation fan my whole life but i gotta say im with xbox now

I've had my Xbox for a few years now, and I have absolutely zero complaints. The performance has been consistently smooth, whether I'm gaming or streaming, and the graphics are top-notch. The variety of games available, especially through Xbox Game Pass, is amazing and has kept me entertained for hours on end. The controller is comfortable and durable, even after extended use. I also appreciate the backward compatibility feature, which allows me to play some of my older favorite games. Overall, it's been a reliable and enjoyable console, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering a gaming system.

I had been hesistant to purchase this next-gen console due to the price and the unreliable unit numbers during the pandemic. I am SO glad I stopped waiting and decided to purchase this. For those like me who have been waiting or who don't think it's worth to spend the cash, trust me, it is!!! The new graphics are AMAZING and almost lifelike. The memory is far better than old consoles. This machine can also play blu-rays and the newer format of videos. Best of all, if you're a huge gamer like I am, XBOX is an amazing investment because some of the older xbox games you can just plug in and play. This feature alone makes this worth it. So again, if you're hesitant, do a little research and finally make that choice like I did! I recommend Best Buy because they're always in stock and their employees are always super helpful :) Cheers!
