Customer Ratings & Reviews

I upgraded to the Series X from the original version of the Xbox One, which I frankly didn’t use very much, and the difference is really staggering. My main reason for upgrading was the size difference. The Xbox One is giant like a VCR, only sits horizontal, and has the biggest power brick I have ever seen. The Series X sits vertically and has no power brick at all, making it infinitely better in terms of special efficiency. I didn’t really buy the system because I needed a speed/graphics improvement, but I was still blown away by the speed at which this thing loads the same games that took a minute on the Xbox One. For the better size and what seems like an astronomical speed difference, I would say that the Series X is a fantastic upgrade for anyone who wants to play their old games on a better system, but also be future proof in case something new comes out that interests you.

I was fortunate enough to land the X early from Best Buy. The look new exterior look is awesome it’s not bulky or colorful it’s sleek and looks in any entertainment center. I always been a Xbox fan and this console will keep me as a customer for more years to come until the next one comes out. The expansion memory slot is simple it’s plug and play compared to its competitor where you have to take some pieces apart. The one thing I would change is making the unit 2TB out of the box and the S unit 1TB standard. The graphics and the speed of play is significantly more clear, detailed, and faster. The explosions are more real than real life! I bought a LG OLED to bring out the graphics even more and boy it didn’t disappoint its unreal! But either a LED or a OLED tv the difference from the Xbox one is huge. If you are second guessing it I’m here to say make the move to the next gen console it’s a game changer!

If your only question is, "Is this console really THAT MUCH BETTER than the Series X?" The answer is a resounding YES. $500 well spent. Noticed immediate difference in Warzone from overall quality of graphics to the smoothness of coming into games from cold launch and just overall graphics response. Duh but it also helped my game. I had this on a 4K 60hz with HDR to start. Switched to a 27"Monitor at 1080p @ 120hz. If your concerned about playing at 1080p, forget it your eyes can't tell the difference and gaming just is better at 120. It's worth it until the monitor market catches up. Did have the annoying controller/battery issue where the controller would disconnect and not reconnect if the controller batteries died while playing. Requires a HARD RESET everytime. I bought a USB C cable to go corded until it's fixed, no problems since. Good luck finding one. Took me a whole day refreshing BBY but all worth it!!

I love the way old games play on this system. The loading times are almost non-existent and graphics pop like never before. It makes you want to replay old classics you've put away. The HD BluRay player does the same for old movies. Rewatching them in 4k with the 12teraflop processor behind them is a blast. Streaming movies and shows on this is also more favorable from what I've noticed. Images have a level of depth and clarity that isn't seen on my AppleTV or other streaming devices I own. The design of the console itself is pretty cool, giving you the option of laying it on its side, or standing vertically like a pillar. It is larger than it looks in pictures, so be prepared for a pretty heavy block to come out of the box. My only critique is the lack of games tailored for this new system. There are a few compatible titles they have maximized for use on the X/S, but some HD specific launch titles would have been appreciated.

Love my Xbox and gamepass ultimate combo. Super fast loading times, quick resume and graphics are amazing

BOUGHT AS A GIFT. THEY LOVE THE NEW CONSOLE AND ITS CAPABILITIES.

This is an amazing console, 10/10 would recommend to any gamer. Load times are cut to a third of what they used to be, the seamless interface got even more seamless, the graphical capabilities are SUCH a step up from previous generations that on something like GTAV it feels like I’m playing on a PC, and not to mention all that is wrapped in the sleek and convenient black shell. The Xbox Series X is a beast and even though it’s only about a month old at the time of writing this review, I have faith that this was a good investment and I feel like I’ll get a return on it for years to come.

Great console especially if you want to play old xbox games and new games on the same console, resolution reaches 1080p at max which is very awesome, games like fortnite load in very fast, more faster than a gaming pc with a rtx 3050 gpu or higher. Highly recommend

Just in time availability for a last minute birthday gift.

This x box is excellent, it doesn't lock up and the games play very well, excellent product. It would be better if it came with better controls with hall effect

I must say i was skeptical on purchasing another consile but once i downloaded my first game on the xbox series x and saw the loading speeds faster than space travel and the graphics better than vr i was so glad i did and upset i hadnt done so sooner. Amazing product in every way

The Xbox Series X is a powerhouse gaming console with stunning 4K visuals and up to 120 FPS. Its custom SSD ensures fast load times and quick resume features, while backward compatibility and Game Pass Ultimate offer a vast game library. With ray tracing and expandable storage, it delivers a top-tier, immersive gaming experience. A must-have for serious gamers.

our original 2013 xbox one crapped out on us, we went straight to best buy for the deals on friday and BAM new xbox series X its SOOOOOOO much faster loos waaay better 10/10 buy. expensive but the original was the same price if not more with the kinect and lasted 11 years

I bought the All Access version because buying the console on its own seems impossible. The console is of course awesome because it upgrades many games that you already own and the new games look spectacular if you have a capable display.

Grabbed it when it was on sale for 349 right before Xmas. It was ready curbside when promised. I was previously a PlayStation gamer but transitioned to pc gaming the last few years. With the purchase of this console my Microsoft store game purchases and game pass made it possible to play my pc purchases. Best Buy, I’m rooting for you, especially your brick and mortars…if the price is the same as Amazon, I’ll order and head your way. Thank you for price matching as well

Completed my system upgrades by add this to the collection

We love our Xbox. It looks super clean and modern and we always have fun playing it!

I have had every generation of xbox and now I own both a Series X and a PS5. I can say there a quite a few things that Xbox does significantly better, most of which are simple quality of life things: Family profiles managed on the console, not the app. Alexa connectivity. Built in Bluetooth connectivity for wireless headsets. I own both major consoles and I still prefer my Xbox outside of some PS exclusives that I wanted to play

This is a really nice system. I am a truck driver and I am able to use it everywhere I go. It keeps me occupied when i am at a stand still. The resolution is nice. Has great games. I am able to connect with whomever I'd like to play with. Would definitely recommend.

Traded in my Xbox One for this. This would also act as a replacement for our 4K Blu-ray player and hub for streaming services. It hasn't disappointed yet. It's super fast compared to the Xbox One (noticed when I played ME: Legendary Edition on One then Series X). The controller's texture on the hand grips is a nice touch, which helps with long gaming sessions. It's also surprisingly not as large as it seems in photographs. It seems close in overall volume to the Xbox One, and it fits in the same spot I had the One in my TV stand. I also like the fact Microsoft went back to a physical power button. It was annoying when trying to turn off my Xbox One to find the right spot where the touch sensor would read be pressing it. That's no longer an issue. Can't wait to really start using its capabilities when more games designed for the Series X are available.
