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.

The graphics on this are amazing. Some games are initiating a whitewash effect when fed into the Elgato 4k Pro. I suspect this will need an update to prevent this, so I'm being patient. The provided HDMI cable isn't strong enough to carry a 4k with HDR signal. Had to use a high speed Monster cable. Played on this console for 11 hours straight after purchase and had no issues with over heating. It got warm at time, but cooled back down quickly, similar to a PC. If you want to stay on top of tech or stream, this is a must buy!

Shoppers beware of the most powerful gaming console ever made.... Best 4K graphics at 120HZ with UHD 4K Blu Ray player. Needs more storage but other than that great console. It's Fast and Quick resume is awesome. I have over 100 games in my digital collection and the storage expansion card is an easy add on..Just plug it in to the slot and use it. Only thing I don't like about it is it shows every finger print when touched...Overall best console I've owned. See you in game Spartans!!!

I’ve been patiently waiting to purchase the Series X since it was released. I did not want to pay 2-3 times the suggested retail price and reinforce scalping practices. I signed up for restock notifications and would periodically check various retailers sites in hopes I could secure the Series X. I found this offer from Walmart and much to my surprise the console was available for purchase. I was a little skeptical about getting it delivered after reading stories/reviews about consoles being stolen and/or never being delivered despite Fed-Ex/UPS saying otherwise. My concerns were quickly eliminated when I received a notification from Walmart with my tracking number. I’m not sure if it was Walmart or Fed-Ex who set it up, but my package delivery required a signature of an adult 18 years or older. The Series X was delivered earlier than anticipated. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The Series X performs magnificently. Games load much faster and perform better when compared to my XBOX One. Not to mention it looks sharp and is super quiet. I would highly recommend this product and recommend you purchase it from Walmart. Overall a 5 star experience all around.

Since a lot people are posting random reviews (possibly even fake reviews), I'll get right to the point: The pros: -screaming fast console -amazing graphics -doubles as fridge (lol jk) -very fast load times the cons: -basically more of the same - not much innovation -same controller as the Xbox One -no exclusive launch titles Don't get me wrong, this thing is powerful and it does the job. However, it's basically just more of the same. For a new console that's supposed to last me an entire generation, I'm a bit disappointed with MS for basically just giving us a more powerful version of the Xbox One. Add to the fact that there aren't any interesting titles that are releasing with it, I'm a bit sad I spent my money on this console, especially since most titles will still come out for the Xbox One. A number of my friends have switched over to PS5, so I'll probably do the same in 2021 when I can get a console. If you like MS and Xbox and are super fanboi, then you'll love this. But for anyone on the fence, I'd really consider the PS5 as a better contender for the next gen console.

When it comes to power and value, the XSX has you covered! I’m loving the quick load times, next gen graphics and TONS of options to play when it comes to Gamepass. The thing that blows my mind is that Xbox isn’t even hitting it full stride yet!! With developers beginning to use its full RDNA 2 features and tons of day one exclusives coming to Gamepass next year (as well as even more studio acquisitions), the future and ecosystem of being a Xbox gamer looks bright!!!

This had to be one hardest times I ever had getting a console. But Honestly one of the best consoles I've had in a while. I think Microsoft finally got focused again with this console. It was bigger than I thought it was when I finally got it in hand. The performance is top tier. I definitely believe the hype. Was a little skeptical after last generation xbox one came out. This console definitely gave me xbox 360 excited vibes. The transition through apps and games are smooth. The layout us nice as well. Can't wait to see whats coming in the upcoming months.

I am buying both PS5 and XBox Series X. My bias is towards facts. The reviews are in, as are the technical comparisons. The XBox Series X is currently the best console of this generation. Why? SSD Speed - XBox Series X wins (for now). GameSpot did a loading time comparison of backwards compatible games. The XBox SSD loaded much faster than the PS5. With all of the talk of the PS5 SSD, I was surprised to see how much faster it was for this task. Note: Native XBox Series X games may load even faster. This is not to say the PS5 SSD is slow, just that you'll be playing games quicker on the XBox. Graphics - XBox Series X wins. The numbers don't lie. There's more horsepower in XBox to push those sweet, sweet graphics. The PS5 needs to lower the render resolution to maintain the framerate. Controller - Sony PS5. The DualSense is a game-changer--potentially. While the XBox Series X controller plays it safe with a slightly modified design, Sony completely redesigned theirs. The haptic feedback is very nice. Again, not to say the XBox controller is bad--in fact it's excellent. Just that Sony did just that much more. TV Compatibility - XBox Series X. Sony (at launch) does not have a native resolution for 1440 displays. The closest is 1080p upscaled to 1440. XBox handles this nicely. Storage space -XBox Series X wins. Sony has a proprietary 825GB SSD soldered to the mainboard. Of this, roughly 660 GB of drive space is available. Additionally, while there is an expansion slot to add an M.2 SSD, there are no Sony-approved drives AND they have disabled the expanded storage until a future firmware update is applied. XBox comes with a 1TB SSD, of which roughly 800GB of storage is available. While the external storage is propietary, the price is on-par with other Gen4 SSD storage solutions. Quick Resume - XBox Series X wins. The console automatically saves the state of the game to the SSD when switching from one game to another. Switching back is very fast and resumes right where you leave off. (Yes, it works even if the console is shut down.) Sony has nothing like this. GamePass - This is the crown jewel for XBox Series X. Yes, it is a subscription fee, and yes, the games are time-limited. However, you get several months to play them! It's as close to NetFlix for gaming so far. 3D Audio - Sony PS5 - It's really, really good! I will be playing on both. Exclusives on PS5, Exlcusives on XBox Series X, and Multiplatform will generally be Series X.

A big step up from the Xbox One. I'm impressed with the power and speed of this console. Also, the instant resume feature is the best and allows you to get in the game much faster even after having the console powered off completely. Highly Recommend!

The series X has been great and I’m glad I chose it over the S. The graphics have improved quite a bit since the Xbox one x and you can really tell while playing games like GTA. The design is sleek and modern although it looks like an xfinity modem. Overall I’m impressed with the system and I’m excited to more games to come out
