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!

As pilot and a Big Fan Of Microsoft Flight Simulator. I thought it would never come to an Xbox. I never thought I would be able to complete and have a full fight Simulator with the chair and all. when I turned on the xbox x I knew it would be good but when I actually started to fly the planes in Microsoft flight simulator 2020. I was shocked at how great that Xbox works and looks. you made my dream of being able to have a flight simulator in my room on a Amazing Xbox x so that I can practice for my real flights. thank you for not only making a Great Xbox Console. But thank you for putting Microsoft flight simulator on there and doing such a good job making it just as real as my real job. I love it and can't thank you enough. you really are inspiring the young generation of pilots with this game and Console. so they can learn from this I didn't have this in flight school but now this helps real pilots like my self continue to fly. Great Job. Xbox. I Am Just So Happy With This Xbox and The Game you made for it.

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 better and more powerful CPU and GPU, it's more quiet, it's smaller than the PoS5 and has QuickResume, Auto HDR, can do 1440P, has lightyears better game subscription service and it can actually do 4K with 60FPS/120FPS and last but least XSXs SDD is way way faster than the Sh!tstation 5s glorified HDD. Suck it and enjoy playing simulators and movies on your inferior sh!thole of a console, SOYnytards.

I bought this after purchasing the S during the pandemic but we missed the disc drive. O must say there is definitely an improvement in speed and spund quality. Fraphics as well as long as your tv is equiped with the necessary increased 4k fraphocs and speed refresh rate as well. definitely recommend

I decided to upgrade from my XBox-1X to this Series X after considering the benefits of the next generation consoles. I can say that I'm not disappointed about the decision. I only wish they kept the HDMI cable-in port in the back like on the XBox-1X That way the box can help upscale the cable signal going out to the TV. However this wasn't a deal breaker at all seeing that my 4K TV does some upscaling of the cable signal on its own. The new Series X UI is nice, same menu's but cleaner and smooth. Though its the same layout it feels better and looks sharper. The controller looks the same but it feels more accurate and responsive and a bit lighter in weight with a bit of a nice improvement on the vibration feedback. The games and gameplay benefit from all that power as well. They run better and load quicker and looks better graphically and smoother. I even notice on my You-tube app the UI and videos looks much sharper. Backwards compatibility is very nice. Its nice to know you can still enjoy older games that look and run better with this system. When the new next gen games start to get released later in the future it will be amazing. This system keeps absolutely zero noise. You don't hear anything at all, and it's smaller than it looks. I would recommend this to ppl with the XBox-1X like myself who are on the fence. You're pretty much getting a better system and gaming experience. Case in point, i like Madden and now with the new menus etc. in the new XS version i'm enjoying Madden more now though its the same game. It looks better runs smoother and the new gameplay menu layout is a nice and needed upgrade.. And its the same for any other game. I'm not regretting the upgrade at all.

I bought this item after reading a few positive reviews and I can definitely say they were right. It’s a great product—simple, effective, and made well. I’ve been using it consistently and it hasn’t given me any issues. It’s clear the materials are good quality because everything feels solid and durable. I was also impressed with how easy it was to get started. No long setup, no special instructions—just a smooth, no-hassle experience. This is one of those items that just fits into your routine and does exactly what it’s supposed to. I really appreciate that it’s both practical and dependable. A lot of times you buy something online and hope it holds up over time—this one definitely has. I’ve already gotten a lot of use out of it, and I can tell it’ll last a long time. For the price, it’s more than worth it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for something reliable and easy to use. Great buy overall!

I bought this for the SSD hoping the games would load faster and it would be quiet. For that, it nailed it. I'm was disappointed to learn Microsoft killed off the optical port so now I have a headphone issue to work around. Odd that it would be on the less expensive model but discontinued on the high end model. That is the reason for 4 stars. I had hoped to be able to play in 4k and while you can and the image is great, there is lag for online multiplayer and I have to play in lower resolution. Had really hoped this would be the end all.

People, stop writing reviews for issues with ordering when these reviews are for the product. I don't want to read your whining about not getting an xbox on launch day. Grow up. Realize that more people than just you couldn't get an xbox on day one. IT IS A VIDEO GAME CONSOLE. Calm down and use this review section to review the product not whine about not getting something on the day you wanted it.
