Customer Ratings & Reviews

Quick load times, really like the ease of use for menus and I like how I can switch between games without closing. Works well for single player games, do have to refresh multiplayer games like apex and cod.

TLTR; I was finally able to secure an online order before Xmas and the wait was worth it. The hardware upgrade alone is enough of a reason to consider buying the Series X. I recommend this console for any avid Xbox console gamer who has a 4k display who plans to watch or use the disc drive. Pros: So far there isn't any new games for the Series X or S, but the current games that are optimized seem to run great for a console. Even older games that aren't optimized are running well on the new hardware. The console is quite and heat management seems to be working as expected. You can use you existing USB external HDD from your Xbox One with the Series X/S. So I'm only adding optimized Series X/S games to my internal SDD while leaving all my other games on the external USB HDD. This is a plus so you don't have to buy the expansion slot card until you really need it. Cons: Nothing built exclusively for the Series X or S are available as of Fall 2020. This isn't a huge downer but it means only current and older games optimized are able that use some/all of the new features. The box itself is bigger than the Xbox One X and S. So it may new fit with your current media center. Note: My current display setup is a Samsung Q80T and the visuals are solid. I suggest getting a display that supports 4k (forget 8k for now) and all/most of the other technologies (HDR, Auto Low Latency Mode, HDMI Variable Refresh Rate, AMD FreeSync) that are now available.

Bought for my granddaughter and she loves it! Plays on it almost every night. Good controller. Fast speed.

Absolutely phenomenal gaming machine! This is so fast and the picture is CRYSTAL clear!!! Transforming my game room into something my family and friends are envious of! And the employees over at Best Buy were so sweet and helpful! Thank you guys for all of your help!

I had owned an Xbox S for a while. My Xbox One was reaching the age where I was considering replacing it. We saw a great deal for the Xbox X. Wow! What a difference. Speed, solid performance and an easy set up. I’ve been working with game systems for many years and this is by far the best!

Fast dashboard interface even with the criticism that it’s still the old dashboard. The Quick Resume Feature is the ultimate deciding factor for me. It’s just a very powerful console. It can shuffle up to 5 games with ease. It will also restore you to your last view when jumping between games. One of the best of things about it is the including of Game Pass for 3 months for $1. The variety of games is just overwhelming and gives you plexibility as a gamer who wants to explore.

Excellent upgrade from the Xbox One X and well worth the money (if you can actually find one). I havent had any issues with my unit since the summer but it does get a little hot at the top, so make sure you have good ventilation and airflow for the unit. Definitely don't lay anything on top of it. New controller is also a pleasant upgrade. Game switching within the OS is where it's at IMO, easily the best thing about the new units.

Got this for my Grandsons high school graduation. He is very pleased. Says the graphics are outstanding. The load speed is very fast. I'm pleased with my purchase.

I absolutely love it - I am primarily a PC gamer but the XBOX Series X is very much a PC-like gaming device. The fact it can do Ray Tracing is definitely impressive - especially considering the stand alone cost of RTX level video cards. The ability to remote play on different devices is also a huge plus for me. It is fast, powerful and very easy to use; the ability to attach external drive storage is very handy.

The Xbox Series X is everything I hoped for and more. Super fast load times, smooth gameplay, and the graphics are incredible—it really shows off what next-gen is supposed to be. Setup was quick and easy, the system runs quietly, and Game Pass makes it even better with so many games ready to play right away. Definitely worth the upgrade!

My son bought this xbox for my Christmas gift. It is replacing my xbox one S. The performance is a night and day difference. I'm in awe of how quickly my games load now and how much the graphics have improved with the newer console. So happy with it! The only negative is the controller seems a little less well-made, but I'll probably get a customized one anyway.

The Xbox Series X takes Next Gen gaming to a whole new level. Microsoft has done it again and this gaming system is a true beast. The quick resume feature is amazing and allows you to swap back-and-forth between games instantaneously. The design of the console with its tower like design looks very very cool. The graphics quality and fluidity of character movement looks spectacular and the much anticipated return of the Master Chief next year will make this a truly INFINITE experience.

The Xbox Series X stands as a gaming powerhouse, offering an unparalleled gaming experience that sets a new standard for the industry. Boasting impressive hardware capabilities, the console delivers breathtaking graphics, lightning-fast load times, and seamless gameplay transitions. The 4K resolution and ray tracing capabilities contribute to an immersive visual feast, while the quick resume feature ensures minimal downtime between games. The controller's refined design enhances comfort and responsiveness, complementing the console's performance. The extensive backward compatibility library and inclusion in Xbox Game Pass provide an extensive gaming ecosystem, making the Xbox Series X a compelling choice for both new and seasoned gamers. With its sleek design, cutting-edge technology, and an array of exclusive titles, the Xbox Series X stands at the forefront of next-gen gaming consoles, offering a thrilling and future-proof gaming experience.

Incredible system. I love this system. It is so powerful. I love to play video games on this system. I like this one better than the series s. I think this is more of a next generation system than the series s. I wish they make more series x for the public to buy in the future. Everybody deserves to be able to buy this system at a regular price and not pay more. I wish Best Buy could somehow help its members to be able to buy this system.

Had been trying to buy one since my One S stopped working on me, Tried on almost every other website but the bots always beat me to it. I was actually able to buy two and give one to my friend from Best Buy. The graphics are almost night and day from my One S and I'm only playing on an HD TV so I can't even start imagining how it will look on a 4K TV. It does get kind of hot so make sure you have good ventilation, I guess that's the power of next gen

Fast loading speeds, and great graphics capabilities.

It's way faster than the old one, which makes it easier to play high competitive games. Insane loading speed, quicker movements, and overall visuals are high definition.

So far this is a solid unit. Props to Best Buy for bot proofing their site so I could actually order one. Graphics are awesome. Speaking of graphics, if you have not recently bought a TV then hold off until the new 2021 TVs come in. Don't be suckered by the sales on 2020 stock. 2020 was a horrible year for TV innovation and the next gen console features are a mirage. I got this paired up with the LG Atmos Surround Sound Bar with Rear Surrounds. Playing Call of Duty is Surreal. You really hear the 3 dimensional sound. Please note my praise is after the release of a few update patches that the improved stability. Only weird thing is the device powering. It all goes through ARC which can be a blessing or a curse. In my case it took me a few minutes to get the settings right but when I turn on the XBOX manually, the soundbar does not turn on. It will turn off if I shut it off manually. If I use an assistant to turn it on via voice command then everything turns on. I don't know if it is a bug or something specific with LG but since I use Google Home it is not a big deal. And that leads me to my next point. Being able to use your assistant is pretty cool. I just wish they didn't sunset Kinect because honestly I dug it for the camera and mic. I rarely use headphones unless I am playing and don't want to disturb the family. All that said I am very happy.

Very good console enjoy playing it I love the quick resume on the Xbox series x I would recommend this over the PS5 cuz I have one but I like the Xbox better

Incredibly fast and impressive graphics. I am very impressed with the latest generation console from Xbox. It loads so fast and the loading screens are minimal. Even games like destiny are super quick. The inventory screen loads immediately so you can switch gear without missing the action. I used to be ae to run tonthe bathroom or get a drink while games were loading saves or starting but now it takes seconds instead of minutes. This is a must buy for the console gamer.
