If you are moving from the original xbox or xbox one to the series x you will notice a huge difference in graphics even on a TV that isn't built for 4K viewing. This console is what they say it is and more! The graphics on this console from games that are optimized or made for the Series X is above par and well worth its weight in Gold! The speed of it is like they bottled of The Flash and put him to work inside! The lock isn't as sleek as the PS5's air purifier look but with a good Skin it turns out to be an awesome addition to my entertainment center. Is it playable yes, but very disappointing.

Im surprised they didn't offer a free copy of Microsoft Windows ME version with it :( They cut corners, raised the price and hyped it to the moon. It was fairly easy to set up and play however those two items right there make it NOT worth all the hype and huge dollars you are paying for it. Why would anyone decide to eliminate that? NOT COOL !! Yes you could just route the sound thru the hdmi cable but for those who have projectors and surround amps separately, this becomes a big deal. The X version does not have sPdif out, so now you have to go and buy a 20 dollar splitter to split it out of the HDMI stream, conv ert it, and then plug it back into your cable to route to your stereo like your 'old system' was wired. If anything one would call the changes DOWNgrades.įor starters, there is no interface for virtual anything, and it appears MS is not going to add any, anytime soon.Īnother very disappointing item is they took the sPdif out of the box !! The old X box had digital - optical sound, which is far superior to conventional sound IMO as it does not pick up ANY processor noises or other static / hiss etc. Unfortunately it seems that was all hype and huff as there are not a lot of upgrades that make this box so wonderful. With this, MS rode a tidal wave of hype to their next unit, the X series.

X Box is one of the most, if not THE most popular console out there. It's more like a downgraded box not an upgrade.
