I’m happy to finally get back into the XBox eco-system after not having a Microsoft system since the XBox 360 era. I’m very satisfied with the Game Pass subscription offer, which offers more games than I can imagine on having the system for the first few days. I’m also pleased that all the games I had purchased on my Microsoft XBox marketplace from my 360 are mostly there with backwards compatibility (still waiting on Microsoft to make my original X-Men arcade game, MVC 2, and Soul Calibur to be available for download). My biggest gripe about this system is that there’s no firmware to use my old arcade stick on this system. I even went out of my way on purchasing a Brook USB converter, only to have it dried out two days later. Overall, it’s a great system. I just wish Microsoft will make a firmware update for me to be able to use older controllers/arcade sticks.

Previous generations of Xbox were way more intuitive to use. Offline gaming is terrible. Liked that it was backward compatible with older games BUT that comes at the bite on your storage. Not a fan of the system or the set up. Not gaming as much as I had wanted because it’s a hassle. Lesson learned.

The speed and resolution of this console is outstanding. A lot of people think the other system is better but Xbox has the games pass which increasing enjoyment tenfold. No more browsing PS Deals to buy some cheap 5 year old game. Brand new games for free anytime at roughly the cost of a Ps Plus membership. Any games optimized for x/s look amazing and I dont even have a 4K tv. Frame rate is such a bump on everything and zero load time. If you are still on the Sony bandwagon its time to realize Xbox is clearly the better system (dont listen to paid stories on Forbes).

A great improvement over my older Xbox One S. The interface is faster and more snappy, but there are still some weird glitches where you start up a game and it hangs on the splash screen for a few seconds before it kicks you back to the home menu, then you have to boot up the game again. I also own a PS5 and I’ve gotta say that the PS5 feels like a more premium quality product overall, with more exclusive games that I like. This SeriesX is also slower to load up games or fast travel in games than what I’m used to on PS5. So what do I like about the SeriesX? I like what they’ve done with GamePass. It offers a nice variety of games. It would have been nice if they would have given you a free month of it or at least a free couple weeks when you shell out $500 for the console, but you’re basically stuck playing old games from your library or need to pony up more money to purchase something to play. Games I’ve enjoyed so far are Flight Simulator, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and Tunic. Remote play works great and allows you to stream your games to your phone for when you want to just play in bed to wind down. Another feature I like is Quick Resume, which allows you to quickly swap between different games without needing to load the entire game again and navigate through the title screen. You’re just quickly back where you left off. Overall, I think Microsoft has done a decent job with this console. There are just a few Microsoft-ish bugs that pop up here and there that hold it back a bit. And they’re very slow at releasing exclusive games, but hopefully that picks up since they’ve been acquiring so many large video game companies now—a practice I tend to frown upon, since it polarizes the industry into more of an oligopoly situation. If you’ve enjoyed the Xbox ecosystem, you can’t go wrong upgrading to the SeriesX. If you’re moving from a PS4 to a next gen console, I would recommend sticking with a PS5. But I think it also depends on what exclusives you want to play. You’re getting a good overall experience either way.

I PAID MSRP ON THIS, BE PATIENT AND YOU CAN TOO. $499 Kept an eye on the MS Xbox site showing major retailers who have this in stock - checked every morning! Saw it on Walmart, ordered it, got it in a week and a half. Works great, graphics are awesome. You'll need this for next gen games like Bethesda's Starfield coming in November 2022

After waiting over a year to get ahold of this console, I must say it was worth the wait. Obvious improvement in graphics and load times, and having the expansion slot for an easy add on to storage space is great. I plan to grab the 2TB expansion drive.

Graphics are truly amazing and opposed to my PS5, haven’t had one issue yet with the series x. Frame rates are better and graphics too. Set up was super simple and all my x1x games and saves transferred over in a flash. Sorry Sony!this will be my main console this gen and I might even sell the PS5. Nothing but problems with that console.

So happy with my Xbox Series X. I gave up on building a new gaming Pc because of shortages and I’m a happy Xbox customer now. The graphics look at least as good as my old 1080ti and now I’m getting 4k/60fps with HDR on my Samsung QN90A. Quick resume is an under appreciated feature. Thank you Walmart for finally developing an efficient queueing system

misleading advertisement. buyer beware. the Xbox is great. works perfectly thumbs up. but if you look closely, the advertisement suggests it comes with the console, controller plus "24 months of game pass unlimited". well that's not the case when you purchase directly. you have to go to a different website to use said promotion in the stipulations are getting on a payment plan of about $30 something monthly installments. with the ultimate financial obligation being more than $800. I guess silly me for not looking closer at the fine print. I assumed Microsoft was giving 24 months to new customers of the series X in this promotion. in light of this now I got my box but I'm bummed. 2 stars Walmart. also the April fooled me. it was supposed to arrive on April 1st but delayed at last minute for April 2nd. :/

I was amazed that Walmart.com had so many Xbox Series X consoles in stock. I thought it was too good to be true but I was able to finally get one at the retail price…not reseller inflated price.. I even told a friend and a week later he ordered his. It’s amazing because other big brick and mortar stores have not had them consistently in stock. Anyway, the Series X is very nice. The packaging was very nice especially when compared to the PS5. It comes in a black protective styrofoam that seems like a sturdier version of the typical white kind. The Xbox itself was wrapped in an anti static bag. The system plays well as I had expected. The games download a lot faster than on the older Xbox One but I think they download slower than on the ps5. To be fair I have not and will not do a speed comparison. Just a casual observation. I really like the new controller. It feels better in hands and has texture for grip. Overall, I am very happy with the Xbox and I am glad to add it to my collection of gaming consoles
