Love the video! You made some valid points and I like the minimalistic setup! I picked up my Series X yesterday and I'm loving it already however I just realized that mostly all my games are digital and stored on a last gen external hd. I'm always doing research on my investments and I found out that in order to fully appreciate current gen (optimized) games they need to be installed on the internal hd. Time to transfer lol :)

[@csch92]

Just got en series x since i always feelt more connected to xbox over sony. Back then i bought playstation only becouse of destiny was exklusive.but now i feel more like home again. For me the controller feels more natural beside gaming it is also an amazing multimedia machine for my new lg b1 oled i couldnt be happyer

[@thegoodmelon0121]

This was a very helpful guide. I am thinking about buying an Xbox series x, but since I’ve only had played on the PS consoles, I didn’t know if the Xbox consoles were good. Now, because of your video, I am surely going to buy the series x. Thank you for the video!

[@jcfan1979]

Don't forget that on quite a few titles (especially shooters) you can use a keyboard and mouse if that's what you're used to.

[@thesavvyninja885]

The last console I owned was a N64!!! I have been a PC gamer the last 23 years. I just for the heck of it thought of getting a Xbox Series X. So I bought it 2 days ago. I did buy it from GameStop and I did not have to do the monthly purchase thing. I am learning the Console world again. I do have GamePass Ultimate, I had it for my PC, which not many games. But I am enjoying having both a power house gaming PC and the Series X. My only issue is getting a 1440P or 4k Monitor. Right now I have 3 32" 1080p monitors for my PC. I hooked the xbox up to the middle one for now, and I can easily switch the input to go from PC to Series X and vise versa. I also have my pc showing on the monitors on each side of the desk while playing Xbox. To upgrade monitors will be VERY expensive for me. I don't think I will go 3 4k, maybe start with 1 1440P for my middle monitor and see how I like the difference.

[@st-christian14]

[@testudo2185]

[@DIESTAR2010]

I just want developers to start taking advantage of the power already behind the series X. And for me yes gamepass is 110% worth it I get to try out games before I make an initial purchase.

[@Spartan_83]

Let me tell you where I stand and ask for your advise. - Ihave 65 inch TV (Hisense 65U8GQTUK) with specs 4K UHD, with HDR10 and HLG - I have Blueray, DVD and music CD collection - My son is Spider man fan but we consider PS5 will not be in stock for a long time Considering my circumstances, I think XBOX Series X is the one to grab. Am I on the correct path? Additionally, do you think Microsoft will make a deal soon for consoles (due to shortage of chip, I do not have hope 😂). Thanks for the great review, I subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TrendGrapesOfficial]

Absolutely worth it. No questions asked. I am only slightly disappointed I had to buy it out of someone's trunk for $50 over retail and that I was under the impression the entire library of games was backwards compatible but that isn't so. Best graphics best load times best titles available and not only that it's very flexible and storage can be added up to 3TB. Love it.

[@visionarywatts]

oh wow, out of someone's trunk? that's crazy haha. I'm glad you didn't get a brick!

@@santos0424 ah okay. There is a rumor of a mid generation upgrade that improved the visuals and graphics. The timing said sometime in 2023 but…we know how timelines can slide. My thought is to enjoy what’s available now. And if there is a confirm release and you 100% want to upgrade, sell at the announcement of the next console.

[@ghostlegit]

Since u haven't had an xbox for years. And u do not really like xbox live. The best option is to buy xbox live gold for 1 year in store. U can do this for up to 3 years. Switch to gamepass ultimate for 1 dollar. More and then u can have gamepass for 61 or 121 or 181 dollars for up to three years. It does work and I have been doing the loop. I do not pay monthly for xbox gamepass ultimate. U can also use this on ur pc as well.. Hurry and do this before Microsoft removes xbox live gold for good. It's the only good use case for it. So cancel ur xbox gamepass subscription go buy gold in store. Then switch over to gamepass ultimate again.

[@mattjohnson5855]

I'm just stating my opinion here not trying to make anybody mad or whatever but I'm going to tell the truth and my honest opinion it is not worth having an Xbox One x right now I don't care what features it has how pretty it looks they charge you $750 freaking dollars to buy that at GameStop after the past 2 or 3 years that everybody's had over the pandemic I don't think most people have that kind of money just laying around happily in their home personally I just think the Xbox One x is still the better choice overall as long as you got a really good TV go tip HDMI cables have your system fixed up properly it's more than enough

[@RpgCrow]

Honestly I loved it in the early days of owning this console. But the lack of games really just ruined my experience so I bought a ps5. Other then the lack of games the series x is an amazing console But no xbox series x game really pushes the system to its fully capabilities.

@@Spartan_83 yeah I'm noticing that to, idk I guess overall I'm really feeling how empty 2022 is. With that xbox bethesda conference I at least have some games to look forward to fairly soon.

[@hidarimak]

Just a few quick points to raise regarding your video. First off, having to pay for online play has been the standard for consoles for three generations so far. And for Microsoft, their game streaming service includes that feature, for all games. Second, it's unfortunate that you only discuss cloud gaming after this video, since that functionality is included with Game Pass Ultimate (both PC and Xbox gaming). Any Windows, Apple device, or Android device can access this feature, which is a point in Microsoft's favor if you care for this feature. I agree that the appeal for an Xbox is reduced if you have a much more expensive gaming PC, since Microsoft has been strongly supporting both for years, and since the Xbox base will likely become a popular place for porting PC titles, due to the similarities of development. There are though, and likely will remain to be, some major and popular titles unique to only one of those platforms. As to the selection of Game Pass titles, every platforms has titles which are crap. But the abundance of much better titles (such as AA or AAA games) negates that. And for the price of three great games per year, you can beat those games, and experience some enjoyable games which you wouldn't know of otherwise, and play the streaming games on multiple devices, and potentially play some of your games which aren't part of the streaming service remotely. In short, Game Pass is not something to dismiss. There's a reason why Sony is trying to copy it.

Having to pay up to $200 to expand the storage might be a deal breaker for me. I bought a 2TB external SSD for my son's XBOX ONE for $55. We've had XBOX Live for years and it's only $5.00 a month.

[@GuilDormeus]

Great video. Xbox live is ridiculous in my opinion.

[@rahjonlang3889]

I have a PS5 and a Gamming PC. I wish there was a reason for me to buy an Xbox series X, but it isn't. Any game that's remotely Xbox exclusive is usually shared with PC. So, I guess I wouldn't be missing out on anything. I just wish Microsoft push out more exclusive games. I was just about to make an impulse buy a couple minutes ago, but I'm glad I saw your video first before going through with it. Thanks for the heads up bro 😂

[@Harrison11106]

Nice video. To what you said at the 4:40 ish mark, I agree. I remember the Xbox 360s "blades" UI, I wish they'd bring that back, or at least a variant of it. It was a nice sleek & smooth design. To what you said about the expansion card/memory unit, my collection being what it is I bought it (1 TB version). Also keep in mind that those games labeled as "optimized for the Xbox series S/X" will ONLY work either from the consoles internal hard drive, or from one of these expansion cards/memory units. With the exception of Skyrim, none of those games work off an external hard drive, although you can archive them in an external hard drive. The same holds true with the PS5 (you can archive PS5 games on an external drive, but not play them from it). I've heard Seagate has the exclusive rights to create those things for a year or so, after which others can make those expansion cards/memory units. Competition SHOULD drive those prices down some, but I doubt it'll be more then $50.

[@MarkyMarq]

I’ve had my Xbox series X day one when it released in 2020. Most games have been cross generation and are playable on older Xbox via the cloud. I’d say you weren’t missing out on much tbh. However, when star-field and red-fall releases next year, I’d try to get a series X or S if I didn’t have one already. I think last gen consoles will start to be left behind in 2023 moving forward.

[@armandogomez2677]

I’ve got the ps5 and the Xbox series x. Had a lot more games on Xbox. I am today returning the Xbox series x. Game pass is cool but god of war Spider-Man aren’t on it and also the controller is better on ps5. If you’ve had Xbox one you feel like you just bought the same console twice. So for me feeling like it’s the same console and playing the same games aren’t enough to keep it.

God of war and Spiderman are on pc. U do not need a ps5 for those games.

[@donmorelock4054]

Backwards compatibility for my older xbox console games didn't work for all 9 of the previous games I kept that I like. None of them have been updated to work on series X. I bought the XBOX X anyway, I like it, it's fast and more like a gaming PC now. Just the hype seems misleading. Also the price, I had to pay over a grand for mine, $500 for the console almost $400 for 2 years of Xbox Ultimate and $220 for the 1Tb expansion card. Still slightly cheaper than a gaming PC, and this is why I decided to go ahead and purchase.

[@visionarywatts]

oh wow @ that price. So many retailers are taking on additional non-refundable stuff in order to squeeze out more money. It sucks.

Should have done the all-access that's what I did and it's actually a little cheaper like that if you plan on using GP or you can just pay it all off. I think MS is also now letting you buy from their website.

Critique, who doesn't (in the console world) charge money for online play. Even on our home's switch you have to pay extra for online play (though its cheaper). And the online play is included with your Game Pass (ultimate) if you decided that's worth it to you.
