    I upgraded because my Xbox one went down. So far it has been great, worked right out of the box and was easy to set up. Pretty much everything transferred over and I got right back to my games and streaming. The pickup process through best buy and payment through citizens pay was seem less except for best buys website not working for a location switch to a Best Buy closer to me, I had to deal with their online chatbot for about 15 minutes but that was a minor inconvenience all things considered.

    Powerful, but Doesn't Seem Complete to Me

    To be fair, you already know what it is and what it can do. There's nothing to really say to people who would be buying this what they don't already know about it. Some positives I can mention is how easy it was to transition from the Xbox One to the Series consoles. The slightly updated interface that was also updated on Xbox One works and is very intuitive. The speed of loading games is what this console generation is pretty much built on and the Series S/X delivers. The insane SSD speeds is something that is a welcome change. Some people would find the proprietary Expansion Card a negative, but I find it's easier because it takes the guesswork out of figuring out what SSD to expand with. There are some downsides, however. With no exclusive games out at the moment (Halo Infinite delayed until 2021), it doesn't seem much more than a more powerful updated version of their previous console. I do appreciate the effort of making sure they are keeping up with the times as far as compute power is concerned. I just can't quite give it 5 stars in the launch stage of the console's life. Something seems incomplete to me. It's one of these things where you're better off waiting until next year to buy. The controller feels a little lighter than the previous controllers. Much better texture and is as comfortable in the hand as the previous one. The "share" button doesn't really matter to me, but it's a nice added feature. I didn't think I'd like the D-pad when I first saw it, but I love it a lot more now that I have used it. My only gripe (small one at that) is that it's a bit noisier that the old D-pad. Very clicky. Not really a deal breaker though. It's good to see that Microsoft for the most part basically said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" about the Series controllers. My rating this isn't going to really sway people's decision from eventually getting it or not if they were on the fence before. But I thought at least some people would want to read a real world experience on it.

    Excellent console and for the cost it's future proof. With capabilities of 8k enjoyment, once content is released you can not go wrong. Console is super quiet too a whisper. I was nervous about hearing the disc issues so I tried it out with modern warfare it was quiet much quieter than the one x. The speeds when loading and playing games are easily seen. The only con I can mention is that coming from the discontinued model one x the graphics the same looking at uhd 4k. Frame rate is no problem with the new console and the fact majority of games from original xbox to date and previous gen controllers are backwards compatible is a major win... thanks microsoft for the console and elite controller 2 and best buy for adding security to stop bots from purchasing the consoles.

    Great console so far. It uses the same GUI as the old Xbox One X so you won't have any trouble jumping right in and using it. I haven't been able to play a true next-gen game on it yet, but as far as the Xbox One catalog, this thing makes them so much better. Faster load times (by far), better frame rates/smoother games. You immediately notice this especially during fast action scenes in multiplayer games. For example, comparing APEX on the One X to the Series X side by side, there is a tangible difference in video quality. You notice small details and effects on the Series X that would get dropped on the One X when the action gets too heavy. I can't wait until I get my hands on a true next-gen Series X game to see what this thing can truly do.

    Item works well with my new nannocell 85 LG 55in And my 4K Avermedia capture card. The games load pretty quick when starting. Quick Resume is Pretty neat when you’re playing story mode games. System is very quiet as well

    Well i was lucky enough to score one of these for a Christmas present. Almost didn't think it would happen. Best Buy made it easy and I like how they released a few at a time to give people a chance to get one. The look on my sons face Christmas morning was worth the crazy price these are. Not a real fan of the size and the way it stands. have to hide it behind the TV but it is what it is. It does what it needs to to do. I guess its better than the previous versions. Heck i don't play it.
