Xbox SeriesX = amazing console, absolute BEAST and best value in gaming. Playstation convert.

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2021

Platform: Xbox Series XEdition: Console OnlyVerified Purchase

I have been a gammer all my life, have owned almost every console since the Atari Pong all the way till the Ps4 and Switch, but I have skipped most Xbox' s except for the original that was given to me as a gift.
This new console that Microsoft has made is in my opinion the absolute best in this generation. Spec-wise it cannot be beat and if superior to the PS5 I most respects. But when you use your series X and in conjunction with Game Pass Ultimate (GPU), it simply becomes the hands down, no questions asked, absolute BEST VALUE in gaming anywhere! Today Microsoft has also teamed up their GPU service with EA, and now we can get most sports games and most EA titles included in GPU. But you must also add the future inclusion of Bethesda and all their amazing titles from day one in GUP since MS has bought them out.
So how can't you go wrong with the MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE EVER MADE and the potential of including GPU to make it the best value in gaming PERIOD.

Yes some will think that their are few titles specifically made for this new generation as of this writing, but the same goes for Playstation, and Sony changed their mind in the short term, as most titles that they have as great exclusives are also being released for the foreseeable future on PS4 as well as PS5.

PROS:
- Best Value in gaming when used with Game Pass Ultimate.
- Most powerful console ever made (12TFLOPS - 52 CU's).
- Intuitive and very functional OS.
- Great games even for this generation like: Medium.
- FPS Boos feature for older games.
- Automatic HDR for older games.
- Instant Resume feature is just awesome!
- Great controls, I thought I would not like them, BUT THEY ARE GREAT!
- Minimalistic design, that goes well with anything you have already.
- QUIET there is no noticeable sound of fans even when gaming for hours.
- More available space in internal drive then PS5.

CONS:
- Controllers use a AA Battery... WHY would you do this in 2021? Yes there are options, but I should not need to look for options, personally for now I went the rechargeable Energizer route, but it is a hassle that should not be present in a console this generation.
- No gimmicks and straightforward pure power, no you don't get resistance in the adaptive triggers like a PS5, makes it feel a bit less futuristic.
- Had a bug happen to me more then once while purchasing new games, got an error, so for workaround had to add to cart, go to billing address, put edit, select the same billing address and then it worked, very annoying.

SPECS:
- Processor: 8-core AMD Ryzen Zen 2-architecture CPU at 3.8GHz (3.6GHz with SMT)
- Graphics: AMD Navi/RDNA 2-family GPU with 52 CU at 1.825GHz (12TFLOPS FP32)
- Video:16GB GDDR6 with 14Gbps 320-bit interface (10GB at 560GB/s allocated to GPU, 6GB at 336GB/s allocated to rest of system with 3.5GB for GPU)
- Die Size: 360.45 mm2
- Process: 7nm Enhanced
- Memory: 16 GB GDDR6 w/ 320mb bus
- Memory Bandwidth: 10 GB @ 560 GB/s, 6GB @ 336 GB/s
- Internal Storage: 1 TB Custom NVME SSD
- I/O Throughput: 2.4 GB/s (Raw), 4.8 GB/s (Compressed, with custom hardware decompression block)
- Expandable Storage: 1 TB Expansion Card - Seagate ATM only avail.
- External Storage: USB 3.2 External HDD - WB Black Gaming 5TB what I got for it.
- Optical Drive: 4K UHD Blu-Ray Drive-
- Performance: 4K @ 60 FPS, up to 4K @ 120 FPS, 8K @ 60 FPS
- Size: 301mm x 151mm x 151mm

Finally, I will recommend this console over the the PS5, its simply a BEAST and a better value when teamed with GPU. I won't get a Ps5 for the foreseeable future at least not till late 2022, since by then they might really have PS5 exclusives that don't get. a PS4 version.
The Xbox Series X is such a great console that you would be hard pressed to look it over over the hype that the Ps5 has generated because of its lack of availability. So if you like simply the best console this generation and wish to get the best bang for your buck, Xbox Series X simply rocks.

PRO+ : The Xbox series X is also an amazing emulation system, it can run Retroarch with no hacks, with nothing weird, just look it up in YouTube and you will find tutorials. But it can do emulation like very few systems and it add to its tremendous lineup and value.

Great job Microsoft, you not only added a customer, but a new fan.

Amazing Console! Go Microsoft!

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2023

Platform: Xbox Series XEdition: Console OnlyVerified Purchase

Step into the realm of gaming greatness with the Xbox Series X, the Hercules of consoles – muscular, powerful, and ready to elevate your gaming experience to celestial heights! Assembling this gaming marvel was simpler than beating level one of a classic arcade game. Unbox, plug in, power up, and voila! I was transported into a world of immersive gaming splendor.

Let's talk power, folks! With a whopping 1TB SSD, it's like having a storage vault for every gaming adventure imaginable. The 16GB RAM felt like having a brain that processes game data quicker than a cheetah chasing its prey. The console revved up like a finely tuned sports car, promising gaming speeds faster than my cat chasing a laser pointer.

The promise of true 4K gaming sent shivers down my spine. The graphics were so sharp, I could almost see the pixels having a party! And with up to 120 frames per second, it's like watching a movie in fast-forward, only it's your gameplay and not a rom-com.

The Wireless Controller is like an extension of your own hand – sleek, comfortable, and responsive. It's like having a magic wand (minus the spells, but hey, your gaming skills might feel magical).

The Velocity Architecture? It's like having a gaming time machine, reducing loading times to mere blips on the screen. I blinked, and suddenly, I was in the midst of epic battles without the agony of waiting.

However, even this gaming behemoth has its kryptonite. The only downside? The wallet might feel a bit lighter after acquiring this gaming beast. But fear not, for the hours of gaming joy it provides will make you forget about those dollar signs faster than a high-speed race in Forza Horizon.

Now, maneuverability? Let's be real – this console isn't going anywhere. It's like a monolith, firmly rooted in your gaming universe. But who needs maneuverability when you're anchored in a realm of gaming nirvana?

In conclusion, the Xbox Series X is a titan among gaming consoles, a symphony of power, graphics, and sheer gaming delight. It's a gaming paradise that turns button-mashing into a delightful symphony of pixels. So, grab this console, embrace your inner gaming legend, and embark on gaming adventures that'll leave you shouting "Achievement Unlocked!" like a boss!

It was definitely worth upgrading to a Series X.

The menu system and load times in games function better. The graphics are better, the game play is better, everything is more fluid and it makes for a much more enjoyable gaming experience. I very highly recommend upgrading to an XBox Series X if you haven't already.

The Series is better for on the go and traveling but this X is just a powerhouse with graphics and performance. Both are good in their own way but The Series S is nice on a budget but at the price I paid for this X I really can't really see a downside. Quick resume is the real deal,Just a absolute gift for those with long workdays and short gaming time frames. This thing is a beast. This thing is so quiet that I can't even hear the fan running and that's with it set for 4k on Forza horizon 5 and downloading another game just as a little benchmark test. The graphics are unbelievably crisp and clean. Smooth performance with easy and simple setup. I was blown away with the condition in was shipped, if I didn't know This was refurbished when I ordered it I'd thought it was brand new. Awesome job. So lucky to get this thing basically brand new but with $150 off just because of ordering it refurbished. It was delivered with amazing care so I'm grateful for that. Just an awesome buying experience altogether. Worth the money. 5 stars!

Good Xbox

Too Xbox, make good power and good gaming experience
I hate siege though, it like not even a fun game, it’s just an addiction at this point, I can’t stop playing it even though it makes me wanna make a cartoon shaped hole in my wall by running though it, the game makes me hate everything and it just makes me see colors not even imaginable to man, that game is easily explained not as a fun game, but as an addiction and I hate it so much. I would say just delete siege, but it’s not that easy because there is just that urge to push higher in rank, but when your teammates blow and you go 15 and 5 just to loose, it’s like “why do I even try anymore, I’m just gonna delete the game” but then guess what, you back at it again tomorrow because you played it once and Tom Clancy grabbed ahold of you and is practically forcing you to play, it’s mind games that this game has and it just never stops. Easily one of the worst games in history, but you just can’t stop playing it.
Anyways, get the Xbox, it is 100% worth it, but NEVER get Tom Clancys Rainbow Six Siege because it’s is a terribly addicting game and it will make you either tear all your hair out or punch a hole in your monitor.

Great deal on a great console

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

Console arrived and was left outside my apartment no signature required or even a knock on the door to let me know it was there. This is not on Amazon but the delivery service so I’m still leaving 5*. Console itself arrived brand new, works perfectly, and have used it excessively ever since with no issues. Got a nice deal in the middle of the night when I just happen to be on Amazon browsing bc I can’t sleep. Still haven’t seen a price as low since. Love that it is all made by a U.S. company too. Game pass is a genius service to offer too and is great for both consumer and Microsoft.

visibly faster all around than my XOX

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2023

Platform: Xbox Series XEdition: Console OnlyVerified Purchase

I bought this new console specifically for starfield. pretty sure my XOX was not going to run it. but I play a ton of Xbox games anyway so I didn't mind. it was well worth the cost. The NVMe SSD is phenomenally fast. I want to get another for the external expansion plug. I have a 500 GB SSD and a 5TB game drive plugged into the USB 3s. but the quick start is really awesome so I would like to have another stick for increased room there. some games need to be restarted every so often. Cyberpunk crashes if you use quick start too many times on it. it's an unstable game after running for 20 to 30 hours without a restart. That's fair. I'm not super picky about that because I get a lot of enjoyment out of the game.
what I don't understand, Microsoft, is why Seagate is the only supplier of the NVMe expansion cards, and why they are all out of stock!
and another thing, an NVMe for my PC is about $50. why are the expansions for this console $150? why don't you have one yourself, instead of only supplied by Seagate?
but that complaint belongs on that other product, not the XSX. although this is a good place to bring it up as well.
this console is noticeably faster than my XOX. you might say that's obvious but the OS / dashboard is remarkably faster. I had to run something on the XOX to transfer games over and was surprised at how sluggish it is. I had just gotten used to that and didn't know that it could be so much faster. and it is on the XSX! it is so much faster!
I was happy to see when this popped up in stock for the first time in years, literally. I grabbed it immediately because starfield was coming out and I was going to do my best to get it to run on the XOX but was skeptical. so, grabbing this was a no-brainer. I'm happy that I got it for $500 and that I waited for supplies to resume.
it's a surprisingly heavy black box! noticeably heavier than an Xbox One or XOS or XOX, and I owned all of them. what in the world is in that little box that makes it so heavy? it feels like there's a pound of gold inside. it must be a very heavy dense heat sink because I can't imagine silicone and plastic weighing so much. motherboards definitely don't weigh very much. The 4K Blu-ray doesn't wait that much. The power supply? yeah, probably, that might be integrated with the heat sink. not a complaint but just interesting.

End of Physical Games (So I Bought 2!)

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2023

Platform: Xbox Series XEdition: Console OnlyVerified Purchase

Hello!

So, I'm not a techy. I don't care about all the little minute details and upgrades. I care about access to games. And being able to own games without constant internet connection.

Just so you know how modern consoles work -- you need to initially set them up with an internet connection. Any physical disks need to perform an online check with the system the first time you put them in the machine. The disks also only act as keys to access the game content -- you will likely still need a lot of storage space to update games through the internet (I recommend external SSDs as they are faster and less breakable that traditional external hardrives). This is the case with the Series X -- a gazillion online checks to set up anything for the first time.

I personally dislike all this, but it's the way console gaming has been moving -- an all-digital future where you essentially rent online content and cannot pass it down to family members easily. PC gaming has been like this for years. Everyone has to repurchase every game forever.

Despite all the online checks with this console, it sounds like it's going to be the last (and most powerful) disk drive Xbox. For that very reason, to actually feel like my family and I can somewhat own my games (after all the initial online setup), we have two of this console now. One to play currently. One to have setup and ready to go as a ackup for a family member later on if our current one ever breaks (in like 10-20 years). I wanted to have both set up now in case Microsoft/Xbox doesn't let you set them up in the future because of those online checks -- the servers to perform that might not be running in 10-20 years, making Xbox Series Xs in the future essentially dead monoliths. That's how they get you to keep repurchasing new systems and content on their all-digital store.

Walmart and Best Buy are already removing physical games from stores. The next-gen rumored Xbox line will be all-digital. I highly recommend this console because it is the last of its kind -- the last that will let you own at least several generations of physical Xbox games, if you get it set up now.

It is for the same reasoning that I recommend the original PS5. Physical games are ending for Playstation, too. And the PS5 slim has you perform an internet check to set up the detachable disk drive. The original PS5 disk version doesn't make you do that check.

Just saying -- digital is convenient, but you own nothing. Physical at least gives you some semblance of ownership. Obviously the online-only games won't last forever, but you'd be able to hold on to your offline single player titles.

One person's opinion. As far as the Series S otherwise, it's fast, sturdy, and great. Only problem I have is storage. Extra is expensive because it is proprietary. PS5 let's you pick between PS4 and PS5 versions of games, but Xbox Series X forces you to upgrade a game to the newest version, taking up precious internal storage.

Oh, and I strongly dislike the new home menu. The old one was quiet and let you organize all your folders of games on the main screen. The new home menu is one big ad and you can only display two of your folders at a time. Not like it hurts game performance or anything, but it's super annoying.

Anyways, there's your comprehensive review! Thank you!

An upgrade in almost every category

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024

Platform: Xbox Series XEdition: Console OnlyVerified Purchase

I am not much of a console guy, preferring PCs. I bought an Xbox 360 several years ago for my wife as she had had a plain Xbox that she used before.

I found consoles at least the way I prefer them allowed group play and comradery. They could bring a family together. All of the console games I have bought therefore allow for group play.

I love this new console, I do not upgrade with every iteration and I felt it was time to do so. I wanted a console with a physical disc slot that allowed most of the previous games to work. I am a bit disappointed at some that unfortunately do not work. I honestly feel that even if they are newer versions you should get a significant discount if/when you purchase the newer version.

The Xbox series X is fast, it took ages for the 360 to load, this one does it very quickly and keeps your last save so you can jump right back in without a lengthy load screen.

I do not mind the blocky appearance. I have had no real issues with overheating but I have not really played any cutting edge titles on it for long periods.

I miss the Kinect though, my 360 still works and I will be keeping it to play (my wife and my daughter) some of the titles that didn't port over and the adventures that were very family friendly.

Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. I know most persons would have had a Xbox series X for a while. My only regret is no Kinect like service.
