Series X is everything I was expecting which is both good and bad. The performance gains over the Xbox One X are amazing. Load times are super quick (although not "instant" the way some of the hype made them out to be...possibly because I've spent the most time playing older games that haven't been fully optimized). As with any new system I'm sure there will be steady improvement as game developers continually learn to take advantage of the system's full potential however I took a star off because, aside from the performance gains, the overall experience is nearly identical to the Xbox One X. I understand that this is Microsoft's strategy, joining PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, in a single user experience, but it does take away a bit from the excitement of "next gen" hardware, and feels like we're missing out with no "exclusive" titles for Series X. Faster load times, smoother frame rates and 'enhanced' graphics are wonderful, but it's just not the same as having 'exclusive' titles and feels like everything suffers a bit because games are developed to work with the lowest common denominator. That leaves you feeling like you may not be getting your money's worth by investing in the 'next gen' hardware. But given that folks are spending four figures on GPU's to experience bleeding edge performance from their PCs, the Series X is a user friendly alternative.

Just wanted to say that I was able to purchase one on the Black Friday restocking. I got my confirmation email with estimated delivery date. It was delivered 3 days early actually. Plugged it in and everything works perfectly. Wanted to put a good review on here because mostly only people with problems bother to come back and write a review.

So far the hype is legit and completely worth it. A lot of bad reviews are because of non purchase and neglect of the console but listen to me. This is the most powerful and 120hz consistent console to exist. the slick boxy design resembles that of an actual pc and allows for great storage. i Highly recommend this device!

What I like: performance is truly next level. Games download quickly, game performance is elite and super smooth, and its just fun to use in general! What I dont like: I expected the interface to be updated from the Xbox one version, since it is a new system. I was hoping for a new look to the Home Screen. Kind of seems like an upgraded Xbox one instead of an entirely new system.

I got it during Walmart drop ( so this 5star is for Walmart and MS xbox. ) The series X is way heavier than the series S (is a given) Color way more crisp, unless you are using standard TV, don't care for smaller memory space and no disc drive. Series S is fine. I have series S when it first release. I have not encounter any problem. I didn't care much about memory space cos I tend to uninstall after I am done with the game. So now after almost a year (?) I have it, I am happy with GP as long as MS continue to bring in more nice games. I tested out one of my old 360 game, seems like Oddworld Munch's Oddysee disc still works ( I only got to the update point but did not continue cos I was only testing if the system is fine ) I need to go look for my 360 brotherhood of steel. If I find it, I hope it's playable. I don't care what people say, I like that game. Seriously, if you don't download and keep every game, or need to see the tiny grain on the rocks behind the character, the Series S is just as nice if you can't get a chance to get the series X.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a big no brainer. There is too much to not love about this system. I used to be a PlayStation person but have not looked back since Xbox 360. Microsoft makes very quality products and no matter what PlayStation tries to do they will never emulate Xbox game pass.

I did a lot of research on the different xbox consoles. When it came down to it Walmart had the best deal on the xbox X and the extended warranty. A definite must!! I've been playing everyday for a few hours and Love it!!!❤️ Was the best decision on a gaming system i ever made. My grandson for me hooked on fortnite and I love playing with him and solo. And there's lots of other games xbox has that I've been looking into. I've had it a week and I'm super happy with it.... ☺️☺️

Persistence is key, don’t let the bots get the best of you. Took me 15 min to secure one but I got it! Unboxing experience was nice, well packed. So far nothing wrong with it, definitely a speed upgrade over the one x. Waiting for games to be updated for the extra power this thing has..

Warning! You are over paying for an Xbox. I think the Xbox is fine, but the seller's site shows mulitple pictures of Xbox All Access which gives you 24 months of Xbox Live. YOU WILL NOT GET IT, You are just overpaying for an Xbox. I attached a screen shot of the picture before I bought. I submitted complaint to Walmart.

Bought it off a whim because I was still repping the old Xbox One. Upgraded and my kids immediately asked why I had a mailbox in the old ones place. I couldn’t be happier, so much more power and speed from this new console. While bulky, still looks sleek and stylish. Now if I could just play more games besides YGO Master Duel, Elden Ring and FO76, I’ll be able to really test it out!
