    Very fast and games look great. No games ypu cant play on the xbox you have now. If you get 1. Let your current gold run out. Or if your new to xbox live. Buy 2-3 years of gold for $60 ea year. And up grade it to ultimate for $1 (or $15 if you used the 1$ ultimate upgrade and let it run out) and convert that 2-3 years of gold to ultimate and have until 2024. All the games wit game pass ea pass and more has had me playing a lot of games i woulda never bought or tried. Ive been playing it more than my PS5( which is also no biggie yet. So dont sweat it).

    Everything looks much smoother and runs more efficiently than the Xbox one especially when playing the few compatible games at 120 hz. However it still doesn’t feel like a next gen console. I remember being blown away going from PS1 to PS2 or xbox to 360 and I don’t get the same feeling here. I was much younger then so maybe it was just being an over excited kid. Positives. The new controller feels much better than the old, it’s noticeably heavier. Quick resume is a great feature for single person games, I switch back and forth between multiplayer games and AC Valhalla it’s super nice that I’m exactly where I left off even if it’s a few days removed. If you play just MP games then it’s kind of useless as you need to still reconnect to the servers. Load times are much better overall though I haven’t tried this out with any 360 games or original Xbox games. Very quiet The only real negatives When setting it up with my LG nanocell TV which I bought specifically for the launch as it has a hdmi 2.1 port. First the screen tinted a hazy green, then I had no picture at all. But after several online forums the problem was fixed for good. I wish they provided a larger hard drive. I’m already 75% filled and only have a handful of games, so I’ll probably have to buy the seagate SSD eventually. Still i recommend purchasing but may want to wait until the first price cut.

    Never been on Xbox platform before, so series X was my entry point of Xbox. So bare with me if I sound like I don't know what I am saying. Anyways. I got this pretty much because I am currently using game pass on my PC. Game Pass is a great service that Microsoft started waaaaay before Sony announced there tiered PS service. One thing for sure, MS's Game pass include PC games if you go ultimate while Sony's even highest tier would not. This is already better deal as Sony's most expensive $17.99 monthly only give PS3 games to be "streamed", while MS's game pass allows full download of ALL versions of the game it offers along with cloud gaming. No brainer to keep game pass and stay lowest tier on PS plus. Xbox series X comes into the picture because I can play games released since Xbox 360 days until now. I can either buy used 360 games or download one of the 360 games provided in the game pass. I mean... I don't need to play them but some games used to be on PS3 that is also on Xbox 360 that doesn't have remaster version. I can play those without issue on xbox series x as long as I have physical disc or on game pass. UI's great too. I find PS UI to be sluggish and dated. Sony tried to polish up the UI/UX that has been established since PS3, but I don't get how they can't find a way to reduce loading speed of ICONs... Xbox's UI has been pretty smooth so far. Never had to wait for icons to be loaded. But then... loading speed for games was faster on PS5 since most games made by Sony's internal studios have super fast loading (like 1-2 sec on most of the game). Xbox on the other hand... Halo infinity took a good 15-20 seconds loading screen per mission or quick access point. I mean... Does this matter? not much. As long as it ain't Bloodborne loading time, everything's fine. I find myself using xbox more than my ps5. It's just that MS's service feels better than Sony's. But when it comes to playing games themselves, not much difference I found. If that's the case, I'm going to use the one with better service :D

    BY FAR THE BEST PURCHASE EVER!! I use to play on a Xbox one and the difference is crazy. Xbox x graphic are amazing and gameplay is smooth. The fps I use to get don’t even bother me now. 4K display is compatible with the Xbox x and makes for a whole different experience. Xbox x comes with 1tb which is good for some games however is not bad. Highly recommend

    Next Gen Ain’t No Joke BUT....

    Next Gen is amazing !!! Coming from an airplane Ps4 this console is nothing to mess around with. Obviously for the $500 price point you’re gonna want something for your money, and you definitely get it with this purchase. Loading times are crazy fast and the graphics with a 4K tv is insane ! But..... If you were thinking whether next Gen or pc, I would say go with pc if you’re will to come to terms that you’re gonna spend more than double what you’re paying for this. Pc does have more use than just gaming so it’s worth the investment. Both are quite amazing.

    I was a PC gamer until I lost my desk space due to my kids needing to do remote schooling due to Covid-19. In comes this little beast to save the day. I've had this at my TV stand since I received it and it has been nothing but a pleasure to use. The speed different between the Xbox One X and the Series X are night and day. The SSD and the much more powerful CPU contribute to that. If you're wondering if you should get this or stick with your old Xbox. I would highly advise buying this. Everything is more seamless and smoother and quick resume makes switching between games buttery.

    Faster and better than previous Xbox's. Works great, was easy to set up, the controller has the same feel as old ones. It actually doesn't put out that much heat, and I feel it's quieter than the One X. The only downside is the lack of new games that are designed specifically for only this Xbox. The games that are able to play on this do look and play better though.

    Awesome, Fast and very quiet during gaming. New controller feels premium. The only thing lacking is a new user interface which maintains the same interface you see on previous gen. Other than that I would 100% recommend getting this! Something to note the transition to the new system, if you had a previous gen xbox, is very simply which xbox walks you through. I was able to hook up my external hard drive to bring over all apps and games and simply move the games that take advantage of the next gen NVMe over with quick downloading times for those who were worried about this.

    No issues whatsoever. Runs well, runs the games well, syncs up with other Microsoft products well. I use it and my laptop for Gamepass games, and I can easily switch back and forth between them. The fact that my Xbox One controller works with it is quite a nice added bonus. The only slightly aggravating thing is that it has no aux port on the console itself. It does on the controller. Very much a niche problem, but I wanted to connect it to my old receiver via audio cable to play CDs, and it's a no-go unless I plug the able into the controller.
