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.

XBOX Series X is an amazing console. Set up is a little annoying as it is tied to a Microsoft account and gives you options to maintain fantastic security or loosen it up for easier access (your preference). Game Pass access is super easy if you like that option. Controllers are surprisingly good. Excellent features and feel great to the grip. A little surprised that even if you buy a game on the disc; some updates are required for optimal performance and those updates use up quite a bit of space against the 1 TB SSD drive. By the way you don’t get 1TB you really get about 800GB. Games are awesome, sound is great! Picture has some glitches in setting up 4K to work with a 4K TV. I had to watch some you tube videos to get this working with my TV and XBOX. Performance and speed are amazing on this device.

This is by far the best gaming console ever the power of this console is amazing. this thing also has many very fun exclusives to play some of my personal favorites are, halo 5 and halo the master chief collection some more are forza, and gears of war. i would recommend this to anyone.

It took awhile, but stay down and you'll get one. I waited months and it's worth it I guess. As a gamer I see the differences between the xbox one s, the series S, and the series X immediately. I'm not here to tell you the PC better or the Playstation or Nintendo cause I like it all. I just wish people would stop trying to upsell these consoles. I very much would like other to enjoy these consoles and games. The Series X has not faltered on me at all. It is quite big though lol.

Returned last week and purchased a PlayStation 5. Can’t believe I used to stick up for the Xbox systems over PlayStation. If you haven’t gotten a chance to pick up your next generation system, spend the extra 100$ and make the right choice. I’ll never look back to Microsoft’s Xbox systems again.

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.

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.

This is a great system, all around. I've been gaming with the Xbox platform since the very beginning. It's amazing seeing how far it's come, and with game pass and all of the new studios added to Microsoft it's only going to get better. If I had to make one complaint it wouldn't necessarily be directed at Microsoft but I they can't be entirely excused. The third-party resellers and scalpers have really made the console hunt even more painful than it can normally be dealing with shortages and such. Walmart and all of the big sellers as well as Microsoft need to figure out a way to get more consoles in the hands of legitimate buyers and end the third-party/scalper stranglehold. It's so disheartening to see people with rooms filled with brand new consoles that they are going to turn around and sell for almost twice the retail price.

Upgrading from Xbox One is like night and day… Games load within a few seconds rather than minutes. I’m in game servers before any of my friends and switching cars in forza is a few seconds rather and 1-2 minutes. Makes it much more enjoyable when testing new cars or just having fun. Quick resume is really nice but needs some work. All around great purchase and looking forward to more enhancements as they upgrade the OS.

Finally got to order one. Very nicely packed. Easy to set up. I’be installed a couple of old 360 games with no issues. Enjoying this system very much. Only wish it came with a rechargeable controller. The one it comes with takes double AA batteries. Other than that I’m enjoying my purchase so much.
