    This is a beast of a machine. Faster than the PS5 (I have both), truly a marvel. Runs a bit hot but super quiet, only makes noise when a disc is inserted. Combined with Gamepass this is the best gaming experience available today. Thank you Microsoft!

    It's a great and powerful console. The set up couldn't be easier or quicker and moving your game library over is fast and painless. It is ok to hold off for now and the true power won't be utilized in games for a while and there aren't any HDMI 2.1 port monitors that are readily available. But, when you do play it for a bit, you'll fall in love with the automatically better graphics and responsiveness while features like quick resume and the faster downloads make pulling in tons of games from Xbox GamePass and will never want to backtrack to your One X.

    A Powerful Gaming Machine

    The heft suggests a quality build. The unit is silent and the temperature only warm enough to let you know there is a lot of power inside that case. The weak point of the Series X is the UI. It's a catalog of everything: titles, settings, achievements, apps, community, events but poorly organized into piles: the Game Pass pile, the Store pile, the Entertainment pile and the Events pile and a main pile containing owned games, settings, achievements, Xbox Assist, HDR calibration and MS Store. It reminds me of the accumulation of the disorganized collection of tiles in Windows 8; a large number of them pushing items on sale from the MS store. My series X is connected to a large 4K TV but the display looks like it's on a 4-inch phone. Quick Resume is really neat. The game play, graphics fidelity and performance are the reasons I bought the Series X and I'm not disappointed.

    Really really love the Series X so far. It’s the speed of the box that gets you. It’s sooooo fast. I had to boot up my One X on another TV and I had forgotten how much slower it is. Games load so fast now and quick resume (when it works right) is amazing. Auto HDR is making old games look even better and the frame rate improvements makes everything run buttery smooth on the LG CX. It’s also whisper quiet. The icing on the cake though is Gamepass. So much greatness streamed to this amazing box for a low monthly fee. There are so many good games my backlog is out of control. Luckily I’m saving so much time on load speeds I may get caught up soon. If you can get one I can’t imagine you being disappointed. It’s a fantastically well engineered machine that works really well. I love it. Good luck and I hope you’re able to track one down because it’s worth every penny.

    Great system never had a problem with it right out of the box is very silent and not as big as it seems in pictures and the fact that you don’t have to stand it up but you have the option to play it on its sides helped me out a lot. Very quiet and powerful

    Great Console, but lacks good exclusives

    The Xbox Series X is an odd console to review. It’s certainly great in performance with support for 4K 120Hz HDR and improves performance of all games new and old, but as of now it lacks that “wow” factor that really makes it stand out compared to the older Xbox One X. I’ll admit I originally wanted the PS5 but settled for the Xbox due to lack of supply, but when I say that I mean it in terms of innovation, such as how the PS5’s new controller makes games more immersive with it’s dynamic triggers and rumble motors and a lineup of games both current and speculative based on the studios Sony has that just seem more fun. Looking back at Xbox’s history, there aren’t many unique games and franchises that I can think of; Halo, Gears of War, and Forza are the only major ones that I cared for, and even then those were all basically the same game. Fortunately it seems that Microsoft might actually care about delivering on exclusives this time around with its many studio acquisitions. Honestly the best thing about getting an Xbox over PS5 is Game Pass, which isn’t really saying much. While it’s great that players have access to a variety of games they can choose from the reality is that many of them are simply not interesting enough or are games you probably already played, especially if they were AAA games. Take for example the current lineup of AAA games, which includes Skyrim, Fallout 76, Gears of War, Forza, Doom Eternal, and now recently everything that EA Play already had in there like all the Battlefield games, Need for Speed, Star Wars Battlefront, and more: for a new player just starting out, this is an absolutely great value considering all the choices you have. However, for someone like me that generally buys these new releases for the sake of playing with my friends, many of the titles I listed are ones I’ve already played and don’t have interest in playing again. And while all of Microsoft’s new releases will be included with Game Pass, as of now and looking ahead a few months there isn’t anything coming soon. In conclusion, the Xbox Series X is a console that needs more time to really appreciate. It’s great for replaying older games for nostalgia or perhaps those that you missed, but if you’re looking for anything new aside from universal releases like from Activision, Ubisoft, EA, and Take Two you won’t find it here yet.

    The Xbox Series X is hands down the best console I’ve ever owned. From the moment I powered it on, I could tell it was built for serious performance. The graphics are stunning, load times are almost non-existent, and everything runs buttery smooth even the most demanding games.

    I am a self-declared Sony Fanboy, but sometimes I want to enjoy Halo or some other Xbox classic. Also, Microsoft has purchased Bethesda and Activision. I use Game Pass and play so many games for seemingly free on this thing. It's awesome. It is also my Assassin's Creed device--I don't play the series that much any more, but I have them all on Xbox.

    If your looking at a series x you likely already know just about everything about it so I will only say that it is as good as they say. I have had it little while now and put a lot of hours in with no major issues and lots of fun! The load screens are ridiculous and the performance is very consistent. Only issues I have had so far have been with the quick-resume feature. Mainly on online games which require server connection. Sometimes when I am opening a game on quick-resume like Hunt-Showdown, it gets frazzled trying to reconnect to the servers and it’s just faster to close the game and reopen it which takes all of about 45 seconds or less to get from closed to matchmaking. Build-quality is the most solid I have felt so far from any system. It feels like you could drop this system on the floor and it would crack your floor.

    Same as PS5

    In my opinion ps5 and series X are on par with each other. On spring break I made it my job to get the X and Ps5 (was a 24/7 endeavor). I have played both and basically they are the same. Different controllers (the new Ps5 have the dual sense, but remember it only works if the game developers program for it. Just like the speaker in the dual shock. Not too many games used that). Get what you can. I am coming from only playing the PlayStation (from 3 on) and so far I love the X. Better than the ps5? Each equal (like having two kids love em both the same). ;0 One thing that does set the X apart is the game pass. I am playing Outriders day one for free! So if you get the chance get one or the other or both;) don’t get caught up in the “I am loyal to Sony or Microsoft “ it’s a product not a relationship! Good luck and have fun!

    The graphics on the game are the best I have every seen. The games load almost instantly and the quick switch feature to instantly switch between games is awesome. The game it self is a bit bulky, but it is solid and the fan is extremely quiet.

    I know there aren’t any console selling on release but I switched from a ps4 and never had an Xbox one. Game pass really is the best thing in gaming. So many games I would be hesitant to buy or even play but can try all I want now. Love the fast loading and the slick interface. The series x controller is also fantastic. My personal favorite controller ever is the wave bird for the GameCube and this controller will probably take my new first place. If you’re coming from an Xbox one I’d maybe wait. But if you switching from PlayStation I’d say go for it. Also, try and snag game pass ultimate around the holidays/a sale. They’re normally 45 dollars for 3 months. Around thanksgiving I picked them up for 20 dollars a piece. You also get three months for a dollar when you first sign up. So for 61 dollars I got a year of the best deal in gaming.
