Xbox Series X Review-The One Console I Wouldn't Own(with a PC)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- With 12.1 Tflop of graphical performance, the series X is the most powerful 9th generation home console by a fair margin, however if you have a high end PC, and all Xbox games are playable on Windows computers, the PlayStation 5, switch OLED, Valve Steam Deck, or Series S make more sense to purchase. I will cover some of the similarities and differences between the $300 series S, and who I think the series X is right for.

The feature that I love the most on my series X is quite simply "quick resume". Absolutely amazing to be dropped back into the game in 2 to 5 seconds, as if you never left.
Just the other day I booted up a game I hadn't played in over 2 months. Boom! In 3 seconds, I was right back where I left off. It perhaps sounds silly, but there is something incredibly satisfactory about that......
It never crossed my mind to ever buy a xbox. Got the ps5 on release, owned all since playstation 1. Even at the xbox series x release I had no interest. But I just realized the xbox series x is something really different (in my opinion). Bought it 2 weeks ago and Iam loving it. Gamepass was a big motivator also tbh.
I grew up both consoles, I have always preferred Xbox since the OG Xbox and ps2 era, I recover a ps5 it’s outstanding don’t get me wrong but damn I wish I would have gotten a SERIES X🤦🏼♂️
Congrats, i had Playstation in the past like the first ones. But since i got the xbox 360, i stick with them. The Series X is amazing
yeah thats my motivation to buy an X and put my PS5 on the back burner.
@@GameOn444s I dig the xbox, trying out all sort of games when Iam bored with game pass. I own it now for almost 2 months and havent bought a single game yet lol.
I gotta say some games look better on the ps5 tho then on the xbox. Like hitman, DBD, Cyberpunk. I tried these 3 games out. Maybe Iam biased, and my mind was playing mindtricks, but the ps5 has a slight edge graphics wise in my opinion.
@@pinokio3785 that’s amazing!
I had a choice between A series x and a PS5 and I went with xbox because they were pushing gamepass vs sony which was trying to normalize $70 fan games on release. I voted with my wallet and was pleasantly surprised
Good call brother. Like I mentioned at the end of the video, if you are only getting one console and don't have a PC, the Series X is the solid choice.
I did the same, was originally gonna get the ps5 too!
PlayStation has amazing exclusives I can't miss out on. I got the series S for game pass
@@RipCityBrady I don’t really like Sony’s morals/censorship since they become a California company instead of Japanese.
imho Xbox had stronger MS exclusives than Sony in 2021 and 2022 is looking just as good. When you factor in GamePass its just a complete no brainier if you only want one. Only game I will miss on the PS side is HZD2, but that's not enough to encourage me to buy a PS. ill just hang out for it to come to PC :P
In case you still didn't know VRR has nothing to do with resolution. It communicates with a VRR monitor to maintain the same refresh rate during gameplay. Games have stutter when the refresh rate of the monitor or TV (usually 60 Hz) is not divisible by the frame rate of the game (usually between 30 and 60 fps). Essentially, VRR tries to eliminate noticeable frame rate drops when the hardware can't handle a particular scene.
This is the first video I've watched by this guy and that's a bad look. It literally says Variable Refresh Rate in the name... How does he not do any research before filming videos? Also he said High Speed HDMI cable, it actually uses an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable, 18gbps vs 48gbps.
@@ijclnl48 I stopped watching this guy because of that reason. I decided to check because he showed up again and man... really wish he would get his info right or i'd still Sub him.
Vrr is freesync premium Xbox one had vrr nothing new
@@chriswright8074 Freesync Premium is just AMDs proprietary version of VRR. Nvidia has Gsync. XBox One and Series consoles both support Freesync and open source VRR.
I have a decent PC and a Series X, and I'm finding myself using the console more often through the constant Covid lockdowns. Not only is it more comforting playing on the couch, but all the 360 titles that aren't on PC GamePass have been really hitting my nostalgic bone. On top of that, it's pretty brilliant how well the Xbox syncs with the Xbox service on my PC. As a PS4 user, I totally understand the model MS are going for, and it only benefits everyone. What is the down side there? I think Sony fans only criticize it because they feel the need to validate themselves. Only Sony fans seem to get angry at the prospects of their exclusives coming to PC. Like, everyone wins here lol. Bunch of brand worshipping masochists I say XD
Personally, I am adverse to subscription services. Take Sony's PSNow for example, it has more games than any other sub by a huge margin but there is simply no way to extract the value from it because no one can play 1000 games. I can't even get through the PSPlus backlog I have. So to me, its just a waste of money. I would rather pay $70 for a couple of games I'm actually gonna play, and then get the rest on sale. When I took a look at how many games I play vs what I am spending, I am acutally saving money by being practical about what I can actually play as an adult with a job and responsibilities. Therefore, the subs aren't really a deal. Its an illusion. It is a just another reoccuring bill dressed up as a deal. Now we are seeing EVERY friggin big publisher start their own Subscription. At this pace, if you get all ot them you are looking at like $500 a year for a catalog of game you can't possibly enjoy.
@@mitchelljenkins4815 or you can pay less than $10/month (gold to ultimate conversion) and automatically play every first party release and whatever other deals Microsoft cuts with 3rd parties all for less than buying two games. Gamepass and the PS equivalent aren't even close.
Now if PS copies the model exactly (includes their big ticket releases) then watch out. They will eventually.
I would've bought Halo, Forza, back 4 blood and a few others this year. With PS, that would've been over 200 (140 for 2, Xbox 60 for 2).. instead I paid way less and played a lot more games on top of those. It's not an illusion, it's an amazing deal. You'll be thrilled when PS eventually does it and you see the cost value.
@@MasterofLightning I am not even interested in Microsoft games like that. And TBH I'm not into all Sony games either. But to comment on the idea that Sony is gonna do the same... there is one thing you are not accounting for. Its sales. We just found out that even Days Gone sold like 8 million units. Thats just too massive for Sony to give up, and its redicilous for us to expect Sony to want to make less money. Thats not how companies work. If its profitable for Microsoft then sure they should prusue it but Sony is releasing multiple games that are selling 20 million copies a piece. Trying to force Sony into Microsoft box is unfair and it ignores the realities of these individual companies' individual situations.
@@mitchelljenkins4815 lol to many games is a waste of money I swear you xbots be tryna make the dumb points to say xbox is better white people🤣
In a similar situation! I have a fairly high end rig and often times have been resorting to Xbox Series X simply because of the convenience element. The tighly integrated UI, GamePass, Back Compat. And with the recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard it's solidifies my platform of gaming this generation.
Had my Series X since 2020 and I love it. Been playing Forza Horizon 5 and the graphics and quality are amazing.
Had a Series X since launch, it's still awesome and Game Pass is stunning value.
Your reviews are so good, the mix of humor and great information is unmatched
Great information like VRR being dynamic resolution?
@@TokaSFC i personally don't cherry pick mistakes, here to vibe. The jokes make up for any mistake, for me.
😂 dude is dropping jokes but is dead ass serious 💀
I've owned PlayStation and Xbox in the past and I have enjoyed both systems throughout the years. Though I would have to say Xbox series X with game pass is a game changer. During my Playstation 3 and 4 days I have 11 games that I spent a lot of money on that were stinkers that I played less than 2 hours on. If I had to guess that's somewhere around $500 in games that I didn't even play because the game sucked. Boy when you think about that that's like two and a half years of game pass.
I was one of the lucky ones to get a Series X at launch for retail and I agree 100% with you that it’s a beast. I’m very happy to have it over a PS5 for all the reasons you said plus the black looks so good on my black glassed tv stand
That's awesome my dude!
@@GamerHeavenOfficial The Xbox series X is a great consul, Microsoft really improved from the Xbox one. They just need more games, but everything else is good.
@Platinum Gamer yeah they have about 30 1st party games in development. Gamepass is going to get absolutely crazy real soon.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial thing of note the PS5 cant output 8K resolution Digital foundry has already showed that it cant while the Xbox Series X does support it . Sony has Fals advertising on the box as of Right now it dont support 8K on PS5
@@123theprodigy5 7th like :)
I have a PS5 and a Series S. I enjoy them both. Haven't had any problems with either of them. I really wouldn't mind a Series X though. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks Darth
NO!
Thank you for the great content. Can't wait for you to hit the millions in subs. Then Pokimane will realize what she's missing out on.
Went to my local Target for a Series S and walked out of there with a Series X because they randomly had one in stock. I don't think I could choose an S over an X after experiencing the performance and graphical power of an X. But tbh, I'm probably going to get an S to put in another room or take with me on trips.
If that’s the case just get a switch take that with u.
I found one in my near phone store an Series X so i bought it for backward compatibilty so i can play everything & gamepass so i dont pay a lot for it plus its cheaper then ps5 but still an Series S is good too but the problem it dont have harddrive for discs
@@Turkey_Fart just got one offline. Curious what yours cost?
@@obidahasdia4095 series x and ps5 are the same price 499
Nice , I purchased a series X at my local target store 2 days before Christmas , I was gift shopping for my kids trying to complete there wish list when I was about to check out at the electronic section I ask if they knew when they will have series X in stock and the guy told me they don’t have any they receive it at random times but luckily another employee was there over heard what I have ask and came up and said actually they might have one in the back that he would go check and behold he came back with the series X in his hands & said it was the last one they had I did not hesitate and bought it right away lol that was my first attempt buying it too. I also own P5 bought 3 of them at launch but I’ve been playing the series X more recently.
I’ve had a series x and ps5 since launch and just bought a series s the other day for my guest room. One thing I appreciate about the eco system is that all saves are stored in the cloud and automatically sync. I do wish Ps5 had a similar thing with ps4.
Right on man! That is a nice feature
nice when i go from pc to xbox... but.... that cloud save on ps4 that doesn't just auto sync has saved me a lot of trouble....
@@caliginousmoira8565 I did only recently discover that if your playing ps4 games on ps5 you can technically do it on ps4 it’s just a few extra steps so not all bad.
I've had it since Day 1. Maybe not immediately worth it but I'll just say that I'm glad I still have it. And the PS5 and the Switch. I like owning everything. Now I need to figure out a PC build which as a console peasant will be challenging to say the least 🙂
LOL, building a PC is actually surprisingly easy.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial it doesn't seem easier lol
Regarding a new PC build, wait for more available DDR5, and reduced GPU prices first.
I had a PS5 day 1 and after being with Sony since the PS3 I realized that Playstation exclusives are just not it for my gaming preference... I'm a heavy FPS gamer and since Vanguard & BF2042 greatly disappointed me last month I put an ad up on FB marketplace looking for someone who wanted to switch 1 for 1 my PS5 for a Xbox Series X... I had a digital edition on top of that and within an hour it was a done deal... Been extremely happy ever since! Subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate (got a sick deal for 6 months through an online retailer) and been playing Halo ever since! Now Xbox being the HOME of COD and games like Crossfire X, Stalker & Starfield I've finally found my home 💚😁
Also comparing graphics with the PS5 on my 4k 120hz HDMI 2.1 gaming monitor the XSX blows it out of the water!
Same here man I had a PS6 but I don’t like the exclusives, I prefer shooters and a sandbox games like GTA, and I don’t like RPG games,
I have two pc’s at home with 3090s in them but still got a XSX recently, I just prefer the experience of console gaming. I pick up the controller and start playing, I don’t like needing to grab a keyboard and mouse first to launch a game before i can play it with a controller (I game from my couch I don’t like gaming behind my desk as that reminds me of work)
I was lucky enough to get a Series X at launch and I was blown away by it. From the unboxing, to the setup, crazy fast load times, everything was awesome. Gamepass is such a good deal & quick resume is life changing! It looked great on my few years old 65" Sony X900f, but I knew I'd eventually need a TV upgrade. With a little patience I picked up an LG C1 that can do everything the Series X is capable of (outside of 8k) in Oct. & it's now an even better gaming experience. I am beyond happy with the Series X, especially as a Rock Band fan with well over a thousand songs in my collection going back to the 360, which are all still playable with my old instruments & I can still use my Elite 1 & 2 controllers. I feel Microsoft really protected my previous investment in their products with not only back compat games, but peripherals.
Microsoft is killing it this generation.
When i got my series x last year the unboxing was super classy.
@@sean70729 best packaging I ever seen on a console, loved it.
Opening it on launch day felt like an event.
As someone who had Series X and PS5 since launch but just got a 65 C1 the other week, I couldn't agree with this statement more 👍
@@thebesttheworst2277 best next Gen gaming TV for the money, hands down.
*high five*
@@GiuseppeRedscarf LG C2 will beat it
This guy is absolutely fire! Achievement unlocked: Subbed 👊
Thanks smitty
I have to agree, I thoroughly enjoyed his sexual innuendos, and general humor with out being stupid.
3:08 "VRR" "Dynamic Resolution"
You've got that mixed up with "Variable Rate Shading", which is like a real time equivalent to MPEG compression to save rendering power on smooth color gradients in an image.
"Variable Refresh Rate" is hardware level V-Sync, ensuring image frames are never torn, but it does that without added input lag.
I got a Series X, Series S and a One S. There’s definitely a difference in performance and I say they are all worth having. I hope I can get a PS 5 (AD) soon.
love the retro consoles just casually hanging out on your desk!
Thanks Jesse
I’ve said this before but your delivery is on point and hysterical!
Went into my local GameStop last week and they had One Series X in stock. I was debating on it or the PS5. I knew I couldn’t miss out on Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI so I bought the Series X.
I too went series x this time
Same reason why I bought it and honestly been enjoying the fuck out of it
Elder scrolls six hasn't even started development it's probably 6 maybe more years away
Elder Scrolls is Microsoft exclusive?
The bundle’s payment plans that xbox has don’t have interest rates. You actually pay less through those plans than you would straight up buying the items in their plans.
VRR isn’t about dynamic resolutions. The purpose of VRR is to make sure the game console frames being outputted to the TV sync up without creating visual artifacts like screen tearing. Before VRR TVs had fixed refresh rates and if a new frame wasn’t ready to be displayed then the old one is held on the screen for that time slice (stutter) or an incomplete frame is drawn into the screen (screen tearing).
Your channel is great and your clips and sense of humour is awesome keep it up brother
Thanks a ton!
I got the X with that far cry bundle during that relatively recent GameStop restock in October. But after watching your videos on the S, I got a new S for $250. Both of your videos do an excellent job comparing the two, but they look hilariously obtuse when sitting next to each other. One is just a thiccc block of mass and the other one is tiny 😂
I had to go back to make sure I heard you right. You said none of them could push out 8K gaming with any consistency. While I have a 75 in. 8K television, maybe the same one you have, most people only have a 4K at most. Even the store where I bought it recommended a 4K because there was no 8K content. I bought the 8K as a form of futureproofing, to be able to handle anything that might come out in the next ten years or so. The TV itself has 8K upscaling so even a native 1440 or 4K looks better. One thing you didn't mention is that the X Box memory expansion cards allow you to play games directly from it rather than having to load them to internal memory. They now have a 2TB card also.
Just pick’d one up and its so quiet when I turn it on. The game resume is amazing features. So far Im enjoying it no issues so far.
I switched over to Xbox this gen. Game pass 💯 sold me
I’ve been lucky enough to own all the consoles. I’m happy with Xbox and the accessibility options. Hopefully PlayStation continues the PC route. I’ve only played console exclusives on my PS5. For 2021, I bought Returnal and RNC. For 2022, I’ll just wait until the majority of the games go on sale or come to PC. PS5 will probably be the last PlayStation I own.
I’m still going to continue buying PlayStation, and for me my PS5 is the go to. As of now, PlayStation exclusives are taking forever to come out and I already called up two Target’s which have a Series X in stock. I’m heading there tomorrow morning and picking one up. As a college student, I’ve always wanted to own both consoles and now I’m excited and fortunate enough to be able to do so. Watched Halo but never played a game, even when I owned a 360, and with a busy schedule it looks like I got a while before I finish playing through all the story!
Yeah my ps5 is my exclusives have gone on sale machine. Pretty mad about the price bump, so I just don't buy them..I went from buying all my third party games on ps now I buy them on Xbox and PC. I've made it a personal point to give Sony as little money as possible this gen. There are plenty of games to keep me busy on my computer and series x while I wait on playstation exclusives to drop in price.
Plus my ps5 controller works with the computer and any PS5 game that comes to PC I can buy a key for at a discounted price. I haven't bought a 70$ game yet and I don't see that changing.
You can also buy accounts online with PS5 games on them. When you log the account in you get the game on your main account, so you'll get the trophies. Got returnal for 35$ and demon souls 40$ definitely going to continue voting with my wallet with the 70$
They said the digital game revolution would drop the prices of games yet they've only gotten higher.
You can see the unreal engine five tech demos showing making games is getting easier, but they're going to tell you it's much harder and much more expensive it's a bunch of bullshit..
I actually got away from PC gaming after I got tired of upgrading my GPU time and again for what seems like piles and than larger piles of money. I was able to get a Series X for $50 over retail off Craigslist with a receipt and that was last year. I was on the cusp of buying a 3080 and instead bought the Series X and put the rest of the funds towards a new LG C9 OLED 65”, I’ve already got a Denon x6700h and a wonderful 7.4.4 Dolby Atmos setup calibrated with REW, my MiniDSP HD and MSO. Needless to say I use my Series X daily while my PC serves as a streaming media server.
Just got a 65" LG C1 yesterday and I my XBOX One X arrives Sunday. Havent gamed since I had my first some 7 years ago so Im stoked!
Was finally able to order a series x about an hour ago. Beyond happy, you’ve earned yourself a sub!
Update?
Brought my Series X day one best decision I made I pre ordered mine when they started takin pre orders did research watched a few channels I follow on UA-cam and I enjoy the Series X
i'm a series S owner, first console in my life, amazing perfomance.
Actually I would love to buy one of those, but paying the double of the original price, it's just ridiculous, and the worst part, U can't have direct microsoft support because some guy with lots of bots bought them all.
Good video, Maybe I would get one in december or 2023, but paying the double of the money for the hype? hell no.
Good points man
I'd rather wait another 1-2 years and buy both a xbox sx and a ps5 at the same price now i would have to give on a single console. For now i am very beyond happy with the little beast the series S, perfect for gamepass
I bought a Series S and and loving this little box of delights. I get to play this gen, last gen and future gen games and plus all those cool Indie games and if wanted can be used as emulator too to play Sony, Sega, Nintendo games :) ...and then there's Gamepass and is also a great media box too. Games look amazing too at 1440p (that can be upscaled to 4K) with a smooth 60/120fps.
A great machine esp. at £249. I don't think I'll be getting the X as I previously wanted as the S has unexpectedly pleased my gaming and media needs more then I expected :)
I
I came from pc and been a pc player since the first battlefield and call of duty , switched first to series s because there was nowhere an x available . Was impressed by the power of the console but wasn’t enough for me and find a new series x but like 200 euros more than the normal price and damn once you get the series x you will be blown away . And this for someone who was always hardcore pc gamer and had decent rigs .
@@nikislechten9608 after owning the S, I can imagine how cool must be having the X!, Yesterday I was a simple click away of ordering one, but double price??, that's the only thing that makes me angry about the resellers, it's way too much.
I like your videos. The subtle jokes are funny as hell. Great video
Glad you like them!
Great review but you got one thing wrong with Microsoft payment plan they do not add interest and if you add it up it comes to the regular cost maybe certain retailers add interest, but three friends got their Series X through the payment plan and no interest.
Thank you I did not know that.
You can still store SX/S games on an external drive and transfer them over when you are ready to play them.
The series X is the best console I ever owned in 45 years, history will say it was a game changer.
if it ever gets some games that are worth playing...
Your thumbnail of yourself as Phil and the rocket launcher is chefkiss.
Wow! So cool how I wish to have one. Ive been planning to buy a console since 2014 Playstation/Xbox but not fortunate to have one because of financial problem. Maybe hopefully soon I can play this console and enjoy everything.
I wish nothing but the best for you and I really hope you are able to get a new console soon much love my g 🔥
@@houstonwegotaproblem2244 What a nice comment dude, I wish u all the best too
I just bought the S, also have the series X.... I had the same thoughts on the unboxing and your reaction really, made me lol.
I have them both
And the xsx it’s legit !
The biggest argument I have for sticking with disposable/rechargeable non-built in batteries is well......exactly that.
You'll never have to worry about spending another $60-$70 for a new controller or voiding your warranty by opening one up to replace the internal battery.
I don't get why people still throw shade at Xbox for offering options.
Also, excuse me for still living in 2014, but why the FUCK did they remove the Optical Audio Input?!
Lastly, I always tell people: "If you want phenomenal single-player, go Playstation. If you want the best Multiplayer on the market, go Xbox."
Man I hope you have an excellent security system. That home of yours truly is gaming heaven. Be careful man... I have a series x and a switch OLED and very happy. All of the gen 9 consoles are honestly just amazing folks. Ive been around since the Atari 2600. You can't go wrong with any of them.
Some of us don't have mad expensive gaming computers so the series s and x are perfect 👌 😀
got a xbox one s christmas day 2016 and it was my favorite console up to that date, simply because i was too young to even really understand games on my ps2 or my wii. i just ordered an xbox series x recently and it’s coming on the 23rd and i gotta say the reviews i’ve been seeing are amazing so hopefully this box lives up to the hype.
Came to leave my thanks for your R12 series, it really saved my nerves and bacon this year. A legitimate thanks.
While I admit I'm more prone to play PS5, I gotta say this review was outstanding. It was unbiased and made some great points.... so now I own an XBOX Series X and am loving it! Had a REALLY bad experience with Microsoft back when I owned a 360 (multiple RROD and a long fight with Microsoft). But since Xbox One and now the Series X, I'm seeing a 'learned from our mistake' kind of attitude. While Infinite and Horizon 5 have me hooked right now, I'm looking forward to see some other fantastic exclusives to enjoy!
Are you still enjoying Infinite to this day?
@@SmokeOneAndChill That got boring super fast, no new maps, repetitive ranked grinding, not fun
This is the first video I watched on your channel and I subscribed immediately. You had me laughing the whole time. Dude, great job! I know I’m late to the party, but I’m here now.✌️
This was funny and informative. I’m with it. Keep it up.
I got both series x and ps5 and I haven’t touched my ps5 in couple months lol. Feels like a pc console hybrid. Also way more 120 FPS support. I get 120 hertz with every game which I don’t get on ps5. Also game pass and an endless amount of third party affordable controllers with paddles for FPS games.
UR funny as hell and excellent at what you do. Probably the best ive seen so far
My first Xbox was the series x. Bought it last year on march. And, now I can safely say, I'm not going back to Sony, Microsoft gamepass strategy is amazing, and having a gaming PC, makes me not wanting to buy a PS5 now because of the recent PS5 exclusives going to PC.
correction, most 120fps games on series x are running from 1080p-1440p there are very few 4k 120 games
I keep coming across your videos and I love the commentary. Love the vids and reviews keep them coming.
I have a pretty good PC setup (5800x, 6800xt) but the series X was a no brainer because my wife is a gamer and you can't really play split screen games anymore. When we got the series X it was a sleight upgrade over my first PC (3800x, 5700xt) but we have been happy with our PC/XSX setup no matter the config. I just can't get over how much value we get out of Game Pass Ultimate. I want a ps5 for the exclusives but we are going to wait for the upcoming Marvel games before we drop another few hundred into our battlestation. I'm really excited for the Steamdeck, I have so many smaller Steam and EGS games that I have bought or received with humble monthly that get overlooked for newer prettier games when I'm at home.
I choose the Xbox series x because it offered more that fit me as a gamer, I luv gamepass, backwards compatible, I'm always playing catch up, and cloud gaming, I luv having that option of playing on my mobile devices as well. I admit there's some Sony titles I'm missing out on for now, but than again there's just so much to play on the Xbox I'm not really missing my Sony or ninentendo. But what fit for me doesn't necessary fit for others
Your choice of words are amusing. Got more than I expected. Great video. Even better humour.
One thing about the hdmi cable/port be very careful mine ended up burning out but the best part was the 2 year warranty I have with the series X 😌💯
Was a play station up until Halo 2, x box since and I some how sapped out and was able to get a series x on microsoft website day one. Absolutely happy with it and game pass.
PC players that want to use a console controller really should look into other ones other than Microsofts offerings. Even the DualSense is superior in many ways, especially wireless input latency. The best option are controllers with a modular design so if you get stick drift you can just simply swap out sticks...
I have a fairly decent PC and I went with Xbox. Being able to play multiplayer games at high fps on my PC and single player AAA games on game pass on my 4K Oled on Xbox is amazing. I will pick up a ps5 probably in 12 months time when they have more AAA exclusives at the moment Xbox wins on value.
@@BKJ-88 If you don’t mind waiting also, you can hope that they release Sony Exclusives on PC. You could probably end up getting better performance than PS5 on them as well.
I have been enjoying your content and great sense of humor you got yourself a new subscriber!!!!
Thank you bro everyone makes fun of me because i use duracell rechargable batteries instead of the battery pack and honestly i bought 3 of them and never looked back. 🤷♂️🤷♂️ glad someone else finally said it.
This pretty much convinced me to get a Series S over the X. Thanks!
The Touryst can run 8K 60 FPS.
VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) allowed the monitor to match their refresh rate with the FPS of the game (it reduces stutter and judder and let motion appear smoother if your game can't hit 60 to 120)
6k 60fps
I purchased an Xbox Series X on Wednesday 24/08/2022.
I have learnt a lot from your video but it is too late for I have purchased the extra Controller, not realising it was the same as my Xbox One S Controller.
You say I can use a Seagate hard drive with the Series X as storage for non Series X games. That is brilliant.
However, other than speed, I have not known any difference between the One S & the Series X.
Is it my age?
Am I not able to appreciate this Awesome, best games console ever made & the most powerful.
Must be my eyesight & the fact I am 50.
Really enjoyed your Video. We share the same humour.
Look forward to the next video.
Great video, I actually ordered an Xbox Series X last night, I started questioning my decision and came across this video. I already own a PS5 and a really good gaming laptop with a RTX 2070 Super GPU. It plays every Gamepass game flawlessly. However I recently bought an LG CX OLED 4K tv, and I loved how my PS5 looks on it. I’ve hooked up my laptop to it and it works pretty well although it’s not a practical experience. I considered the series s but no disc drive, no 4K gaming, and that small storage space were instant deal breakers for me. I know I’m basically paying $500 to get a console version of my laptop, I guess I’ll know in a few days if it was worth it.
Was it worth it? I have a 2080 super pc on my room and a ps5 but wondering if tocget a xbox for living room
@@Warshotqt Did you? I have a feeling I’m going to end up owning all consoles at some point too lol
@@Cause023 bought it a few days after I typed that message. PLAYEd it mainly for almost 3 weeks but then got caught up in other playstation exclusives and haven't touched it since. But it will be nice once xbox comes out with their Bethesda exclusives and such
@@Warshotqt Good choice. That’s my exact thinking as well, thanks!
Just got my Series X last night! Already fell in love ❣️💪
While I love all 3 systems Ps5, SX, oled Switch I’ve been playing the series x more than the rest and I think that all comes down to Forza Horizon 5 man what a great game. This is the first generation where I don’t mind playing on console over pc. And my lg cx oled looks much better than my alienware 3440x1440 120hz gsync display. My pc is more powerful than the consoles 5950x, 32gb’s 3600mhz cl14 ram, strix 2080ti, hell I tried for 8 months to buy a 6900xt or 3080ti/90 but have gave up I’m just gonna wait for 4000 from nvidia or 7000 from amd. I don’t think you can go wrong with PlayStation or Xbox this generation and I fill the switch is a companion console. I would hate it if it was the only console I owned. And I pretty much play it in handheld mode its so much more impressive that way. It just doesn’t look that good on my 4k tv. And I hate digital games so much it’s just a very long rental and have been buying most games for ps5 or sx lately.
Yo,I thought the same thing you mentioned when I got my Series X on Tuesday "Power Your Wet Dreams" .👍👍👍
😂 power em up
My series X came earlier today and I'm having a blast. What made me buy it was the GamePass, which is impressive IMO. I also own a ps5 as well; I have CyberPunk 2077 PS5 but I also bought it on Xbox. Great video
Where did you buy it on
Also did you pay over 600
@@luisrj3924 Gamestop; I did the all access they have.
I have both Series S & X. I use the S in my bedroom or as my carryon when I go over to my buddy’s. The X is my home base machine. Both kick ass respectively.
Good honest review. Yes. Peace out. The thing is the X has not been available in Aus for nearly a year.
I got the series s because I have a 1080p tv at the moment but if I had 4k or a previous Xbox console, I would've gotten the X. Series S is in fact my first Xbox because of game pass and that it performs very well.
Series x still looks good on 1080p
@@ryanchristiandacillo1134 yeah but without 4k it loses its purpose
I have issues so I have all 3 a Xbox series x, ps5 and a gaming pc. 😅😂😂
Do you still feel the same way 8 months later? I've seen the XBOX Series X on my local Facebook Marketplace for not much more than an S ($350-$400). Should I still get an S over an X?
got my series X yesterday. Along with a iphone 13 pro max. i cannot wait to unbox the console and might have to record it because that is something that doesnt happen often is a new console. (i still had the launch day xbox one)
Nice! That’s 2 big pieces of tech gear
@@GamerHeavenOfficial oh yeah. beat halo infinite on legendary.. now replaying the Master Cheif Collection and just so worth it. espeically since i got a year of game pass ultimate for $63...
Really good channel dude, I like it !! 👍🏻
Great video; fun and good info. I was looking for someone to talk about what the pros were when upgrading from the S to the X. Subd.
Thanks
On an Hdmi 2.0 4k you think fidelity would still be better on series x? I have a series s connected to a 43 inch 4k tv right now but i do want a 55 inch eventually or 60.
I’m not gonna use that I’m gonna go raw 😂😂aw ur humour man new sub
The thing is, it's such a better value than a PC right now, and I say that as someone with a gaming PC. I might grab a Series X rather than upgrade it unless the market fixes itself.
Series X is the console I’ve been most pleasantly surprised by ever
I've never laughed so hard in a tech review lmaoo. Good job. Subscribed for the jokes!
Genuinely loved this video man
If you have, and like playing on, a PC then you don't need an Xbox. I have a solid PC for work but I don't like PC gaming in the slightest and have always had console. PlayStation, outside of Horizon and Spiderman, doesn't nothing for me and gamepass is amazing, so I'm loving my Xbox.
Always owned both major consoles, and a Pc rig. The series x is the best bang for your buck currently, especially if you had a hdmi 2.1 monitor. Was trying to upgrade my rig and the cost of graphic cards alone is more than my rig that was built a few years ago.
Xbox series X right now is the best console on the market, its the most powerful, its slick, has the best games and MS ecosystem is just superb
Just brought the series x today. Debating if I should open it up before I get home and play it on my gaming monitor. 🤔 I don't know what to do. Want wait till I get home because I have 4k hdr tv back home.
That’s exactly what I did. I bought the series S to do emulation. I walked into target about a month ago and they had one series X sitting on the shelf, so I bought it for the living room.
Appreciate the info Gamer Heaven!!! You’re hilarious
Love my Xbox Series X! Halo and Forza are awesome!
You have some of the best review’s there is man.
Thanks Tim
Thank you for the review, I was a playstation user for years but this time i bought the xbox series x and man is this console amazing. Kevin would you make an gaming pc video? Like an review of yours or in general about the things which should an really good gaming pc should have. I‘m an concole player since day one but I‘m really thinking about to change to pc gaming but I really don‘t know nothing about the gaming pc‘s…
I‘m planning to buy a rtx 3080 because I‘ve heard that this is really good for graphic perfomance but I don‘t know what I need for the other parts to make an high end pc. Like you mentioned that you have an high end pc with 3080, do you have an video about your pc or could you make one?
You never owned a PlayStation liar!
@@MichaelM28 do you need some pictures for proof to realise how dumb your comment is?
Bought a 55 inch LG Oled tv and a Seagate 8tb external hard drive to go along with my Xbox Series X, loving every bit of it. Game Pass is also pretty damn good to.
I have both consoles series x and PS5. I bought the PS5 simply for exclusives as I have owned playstations right from go so I enjoy the TLOU and God of war etc as the list goes on. I play the series x way more than the PS5. Gamepass is the killer for me and the backwards compatibility is far better than playstation, Skate 3 could launch today as it looks and plays outstanding. It's Xbox over playstation for me this Gen.
There were a couple inaccuracies that make a difference. 1. VRR is where the console or device determines the refresh of the TV/monitor you were thinking of vrs.
2. All access program does NOT charge interest. All access, that's console plus gamepass at a monthly fee like a mobile carrier, is cheaper than buying retail and paying for gamepass. Of course now you can buy used.
I like being able to play my original Xbox, 360, one games from disk on the series x, with upgrades. No complaints from me...
Came here to see (ahem justify) buying a series x since I got “AN INVITATION” via Amazon to buy one…even though I own a PS5, 3 switches, old xbone, Steam deck, my old GTX 1080 pc hooked up to my 75 inch 4K tv(*cries in input lag*)a brand new RTX 3080 pc in my dining room with Ultrawide 38 inch monitor and an RTX 3060 Acer Predator, for ya know, on the go and ended up subscribing to you due to laughing me arse off at your humour.
Now I’ve no idea if I should get one/need one with all these high powered PCs and million other gaming consoles (plus a plethora of older gen ones), but I’m addicted to collecting every single gaming console and then there’s game pass (which admittedly I could just use on one of my many gaming pc’s)…but now I too want to unbox a foam cut out oversized router in a condom sleeve.
