Console was significantly faster than xbox one x. Load times reduced during games by solid state drive. Walmart delivered within 5 or 6 days and console was in good shape with no strings attached (subscriptions). Console was sold for retail price with minimal shipping charge.

I had the xbox one for over 5 Years and the slow speed of it, is horrendous. This Series X has a great response/input time that even my performance improved a bit! The 4k is there, no surprise, and the colors look vibrant. The console itself is a surprising perfect shape; its not too heavy nor tall. The storage for me was 800gbs and I installed a pretty large amount of my games. Download speed reached a peak of 800gbs at point and it downloads fast as long as you have your games not running in the background (Avg. 300-400 mbs). Loading screens are pretty in most games I played: Fallout 4, Siege, Fortnite, Tomb Raider, Small Indie Games, Gears 5, Just Cause 3. Fallout and Just Cause 3 wasted many minutes loading in while the Series X Drastically reduced it into a couple of seconds! Looking into the sound quality is quite interesting because they made it seem very realistic and you can hear each impact clearly. Honestly, Its just that good! Overall, the console is totally breathtaking and its make me laugh at the original Xbox One!

I love the console. It is by far the quietest system I have owned since the nintendo 64, the graphics are great and quick resume is my new favorite feature. However, when I recieved my console from walmart the box had a huge dent in the corner and the console had a long scratch across the whole left side of the unit.

I have migrated from Nintendo's Nintendo Switch for taking casual potable gaming, to a graphics powerhouse. Coming into buying the Series X, I honestly will say I wanted the Ps5, but my co-workers were Xbox players and I wanted to play with them. To my surprise, I couldn't find any games to play on the Xbox. Even with full backwards compatibility, all I could find myself playing is Halo 3, Final Fantasy, and Control. I was anticipating Halo, but the game does not have a release yet. I also had hope on Bethesda making a great Xbox exclusive, but there also not a release on a game from the either. Xbox is excellent for playing third party games. The graphical powerhouse shows its true colors in Final Fantasy, with its uncapped 120fps. I also love the quick resume option,. which is excellent when I want to hop on a quick game with my friends, and then back to single player. The Ui, however, I think is cluttered. Even though I barely own any games, it still takes up my screen full of unnecessary apps. Overall, I do not think this is the time to buy an Xbox Series X. Currently there are no games, and a cluttered Ui. This console currently needs time to fix its problems, but I do believe this console has potential.

Switched over from PS4 thinking that the Xbox had to be better......ugh..... First off I switched to Xbox primarily to be able to join games with my friends who play Xbox.....nothing but difficulty with this. Party invites not accepted or received, game invites not accepted or received from me to friends or friends to me..... I have literally abadoned or cut short playing games with family and friends because of this...so as a paying customer that is an automatic fail for me. Another issue is that the Xbox Series X overheats. Literally to the point where whatever game I am playing degrades, freezes and becomes unplayable at that time. I had to go buy a fan to direct at it. Again as a paying customer this is an automatic fail for me. Services and hardware not working as it should. I should not have to buy a fan to make sure it doesn't overheat......PS4 never did that to me. The controller.....I actually like the design and everything..... but again the product doesn't work as it is supposed too. Right and left bumpers are stiff, not receptive when pushed. I literally have to push down deliberately hard every time....as anyone who games can imagine this does not work out well in the middle of gameplay when I expect a button to react almost instantly when pressed.....not the case here. Fyi this is an issue with both of my brand new controllers purchased separately. There is a bit of a fix that now has me frantically holding down the triggers and blowing in the gap between them and the bumper mid gameplay looking like a complete idiot trying to play my controller like a harmonica. So again an automatic fail. All in all like the gaming industry companies putting out broken products while charging top dollar. I consider it criminal and fraud but that's where we are today I guess. Would certainly not recommend. I am considering switching back to Playstation and have been cutting down on gaming in general (not by choice but nothing works including a lot of games). Just bought Aliens: Dark Descent.....yeah broken and riddled with bugs. Took me about 6 tries to get through the 1st mission due due bugs stopping the game multiple times then restarting from the last save until it bugs out again.....I mean rediculous really. So yeah for Xbox I give a 0/10 for the high price of a broken product really. For what good there is (like improved graphics and load times) this is completely overshadowed and consumed by the extra money, frustration and time that it will also cost. Save your money for something else that at least works the way it should.

The Xbox Series x has so many features really worth the bucks The 4K gaming it’s truly amazing so many crystal clear apps like Netflix Hulu TV even screaming cable through the gaming system is even better and it’s backwards compatible meaning I can play my own game on a new system which save me a lot of time and money it’s the greatest Christmas gift where are you are you love when are your children I am very satisfied with my Xbox

At first I really wanted to buy the PS5, but after not being able to get it I decided to go for the Xbox Series X. This will be the first time I own a Xbox. I thought I would play it, hate it , and then return it. But after trying it out, I have to say I'm enjoying the console the more I keep playing. The Game Pass is a sweet deal, graphics amazing, and controller felt great. If you can't get your hands on the PS5, then you give Xbox a try you won't regret it.

I was lucky enough to get this on launch day and have been very impressed with its graphic display/ease of transitioning from my XB1X. I use a 4K monitor and it is visually stunning. 120HZ cant be obtained without 2.1 HDMI connection (very rare atm) so this will unlock even more once readily available in 4K displays. This thing generates heat, so definitely keep it in well ventilated space, I open doors in cabinet to ensure cooling. Happy gaming!

Difficult to get a hold of, but worth it if you own earlier generation Xbox games. Can run games at 4K for about $550. You won’t get frame rates comparable to a PC, but PCs are much more expensive to build right now. Streaming to PC is unreal. I tried it with my old Xbox one and it was unplayable. On the series X, getting about 80mbps internet, it was virtually indistinguishable from playing on the TV. Basically looks like a tower, runs kind of hot when you feel the air out of the vents, but it’s quiet enough you won’t hear it.

My review will change,up or down idk,I put 4 stars Because the console didn't look damaged but the box the Xbox comes in was poorly taped. Box had minor dent on it,I haven't turned it on yet, it's pose to he a Christmas gift so I won't be using it until December to January,then I will update my review. For the price they put on it,it's ridiculous,could've atleast add a 1-3 month/s xbox game pass in the box or something.
