Fourth time's the charm 9.2/10
Pattern Name: Single
Before i even try and explain if this is worth the $500 price tag One thing every consumers needs to know before buying this particular version of the Xbox One If you do NOT have a Ultra HD tv/4K tv save your cash do Not buy this....... This is pretty much Microsoft version of the XBox One Pro It's main selling point is 4K content save your money for a 4k tv then after the Holiday hype/push get this Console when you have a 4K tv and it's given a proper SRP Some gamers are being extremely dishonest and saying you don't need a 4k tv to enjoy this version of the XBox One It's ideal for a 4k tv/monitor This is the fourth Xbox One I've bought in less then 4 years which is crazy I'll openly admit as a consumer I've been a "mark" plenty of times this generation But, to be fair this generation has been horrible all around between Console Companies, shady developers, "crowdfunded games", and the Toxic Internet trolls each one of us have made this generation really average in general and help make the gaming industry worse in the long run! The XBox One S should have been the real first version of the XBox One released in 2013 But, MS made a number of huge missteps and let the Internet dictate there "Brand" The last 4 years have been anti-climatic to say the least on every platform With the internet having a lot more damaged then good for all consumers All gamers should be on the same page But, it's not that way everyone is to busy fighting over Frames Per second, or picture resolution Brand loyalty should go so far Fast Forward to November 7th 2017 and you have the One X aka XBox One 4k Pro This is for now the most powerful console until the next Generation begins (2-3years from now) Is it worth the somewhat high SRP Yes and No Cons: You should have a Ultra HD tv this system is built around 4K If you have a 1080p HD tv stick with the Xbox One or XBox One S It's a massive waste of money to own this now if you don't have the tv it's made for Have a middle of road Home Theater with two different audio choices in digital optical and HDMI Audio You should have a Home Theater set-up Playing some of these game with DTS sound or Higher enhances the experience 10x almost 1/2 the games during this generation have better pure audio then some of the biggest summer movie block busters The HDMI Cable is cheap much like the cable that was bundled with the XBox One S You'll need a 4K High-Speed HDMI as of late they are dirt cheap at the most you should spend $20 on a replacement Cable You'll need a 4k High-Speed HDMI cable to get the most out of your console and tv 1TB might sound like a lot it's not Make sure you have at least one 4-5tb external Hard Drive The 4k Patches are insanely huge The Quantum Break 4K enhanced patch is almost 200GB Titanfall 2 68.7GB, Wolfenstein 2 51.5BG, The Evil Within 2 29.7GB, Tekken 7 43GB, Rise of the Tomb Raider 30.5GB, Mass Effect: Andromenda 45.5GB, Mafia III 50.2GB, L.A. Noire 17GB (which is a pretty much 4k up scaled) , Homefront: The Revolution 45.5GB, Gears of War 4 107GB, Halo 5 98.3GB Doom 58.7GB, Dishonored 2 54GB, Dead Rising 4 59.1 GB, Assassin's Creed: Origins 43GB, Killer Instinct 47.1 GB, Just Cause 3 47.2GB, Ghost Recon: Wildlands 52.4GB, Agents of Mayhem 45.4GB, Injustice 2 31.8GB, Resident Evil 7 20.4GB The disc tray has been moved more toward the bottom of the unit I don't like the location just seems weird to me maybe it's my OCD? Assassins Creed Origin broke out the gate It looks amazing but, the audio is broken If you were going to get this wait until it gets fixed Pros: a free trial of Xbox Game pass is offered out of the box MS Game Pass is super impressive you pay $10 a month for a laundry list of games from the XBox360 and XBox One This is a must if you are a gamer on a budget or have children (The list is actually very good) When it first launched it got a lot of negative criticism not sure why it's not for everyone but, if you are on a budget it's a no brainier a free week of Xbox Live No power brick (Much like the Xbox One S this version just has a power cord) which might not sound that Important unless you had the first couple of incarnations of the Xbox One they each had this bulky heavy power brick which can effect your tv/gaming set-up The ultra HD Player/drive is a nice extra if you are into movies A great selling point for the Ultra HD Disc format they are region free There are some killer Ultra HD Imports like the Original Dawn of the Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Suspiria (Original) Neon Demon to name a few stand out imports Also Amazon Prime video has really upped there game in there exclusive 4k content The gaming Library is impressive You can play Original XBox Games, (The Original XBox titles is a bit small but, a number of great choices Dead to Rights, Black, Blood Rayne 2, Crimson Skies and a few more The only real draw back with these OG XBox titles is the Graphics look really nice But, the Format is 4:3 XBox 360 on the b/c list has only gotten better within a years time Some titles get a graphic bump example: Alan Wake, Gears of War: Judgement, Red Dead Redemption & Injustice, (You could put the 360 version of Injustice playing on the XBOne side by side with the PS4 Port of Injustice and can Not tell the difference!) and XBox One games on the console **** The Power is real**** The over the top trailers and tv spots using Kanye West song Power at first made me cringe But, it does live up to all the hype and boy is there hype The only two things most people need to realize with these spots/adds AC Origin is amazing looking but, horribly broken (The audio is really jacked-up which effects the over all game play) A story driven open world game should have audio not have massive chunks of dialog drop-out Cuphead is massive smoke, mirrors and Hype! Cuphead isn't enhanced at all and still is beyond hard! (The game is only featured in some of the tv adds due to the amounts of units the game sold) as amazing as that game truly is it's also supper overrated and not for casual gamers Every other enhanced/4k patch truly cranks every game to 15 Rise of The Tomb Raider, Quantum Break, Mafia 3, Injustice 2, The Evil Within 2 Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition All become Super high end 4k games that are stunning....... These 6 games are also not being pushed/mentioned as 4k titles which is a real shame The XBox One version of BioShock Infinite also looks jaw-dropping (It could pass as a high end PC Port) with much better sound since most PC elitist don't even have any type of real home theater sound hooked-up to there gaming rig This console is a solid price (You'd have to drop 4x's this amount for a High End PC that does what the One X can do and PC's can have many more issues between problem installing the disc To viruses on your PC's Gaming Consoles are not known for getting any type of viruses It's a solid home gaming console if you have a 4K tv and like MS exclusives 9.2/10 Microsoft exclusives have been mostly very good But, MS has done a horrible job promoting anything unless it's Halo, Gears of War, and Forza While legit HQ titles like Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Re-Core, and Super Lucky's Tale are all treated like the red headed stepchild ... show more

Speedy and polished
Pattern Name: Single
The Xbox One X is my 3rd Xbox system, having owned the 360, Xbox One and now the X. I've enjoyed them all - and the X is by far, the most polished in terms of user experience and user interface. The X truly lives up to the hype of being incredibly fast and delivering superior visuals - as well as audio (Dolby Atmos!) - compared to any other console in existence. 1) Product design: The Xbox One X's design is noteworthy for it's small footprint, quiet operation and effective cooling. I have mine in an open-faced cabinet (an old dresser converted to an entertainment center) and it stays just warm to the touch under heavy load. I love how the power transformer is built into the box, requiring just a regular power cord to be used; I hated those bulky bricks that always seemed to take up too much space behind the cabinet, or on the floor. The aesthetics of the Xbox One X would be best described as 'modern minimalism'. It's not beautiful, nor is it ugly. It's just simple and non-offensive - which is ok in my book. Many other reviewers have commented on the weight of this thing. It IS solid and it's heft conveys an impression of quality; according to the specs the One X is about 1.4lbs heavier than the One. 2) UX/UI: Over the generations of Xbox consoles, I've always felt the UX/UI has always been a step or two behind Playstation. With the release of the One X, there is a new UI which is much less cluttered than the past versions, which is a welcome improvement. There are still some odd navigational design choices than baffle me, such as the odd placement of the "view all" button when perusing the Store categories and the seemingly random Home screen layout. It takes some getting used to - but once you do, those gripes become negligible. Microsoft could definitely take a page out of Sony's design book however... The One X's speed also helps to improve the snappiness of the interface/experience; gone are the lags and pauses of the previous generations. This was one of the first things I noticed with the X - and it's a very welcome improvement. 3) Visuals/Audio: The upgrade to 4K/HDR gaming was more noticeable than I expected it to be. In HDR mode, the image (on my Samsung UHD TV) is super-bright and free of color banding (thanks to 10 or 12 bit color rendering options). Framerates are much more consistent and fluid. Aliasing just seems non-existent now. For those interested, the One X has native 4K games and games that are "checkerboard rendered" to 4K - the latter of which is what the PS4 Pro was crucified for doing. Visually, native 4K and checkerboard 4K may be hard to distinguish, depending on the game. Audio also gets a nice improvement as well with the addition of Dolby ATMOS. My Samsung HW-K850 supports it - but getting the Xbox One X to allow me to select Atmos output was a royal pain in the a$$. To get Atmos to work, you're first prompted to download the (kinda) free Dolby Access app (I say 'kinda' free, because there is an 'Atmos for headphones' option that will cost you $15 to enable). The Dolby app then guides you through the necessary settings you must enable on the Xbox - but this is where it went awry in my case. I kept getting an error code when attempting to enable Atmos - and after chatting with Microsoft support, they had no ideas and chalked it up to a bug that would need to be patched. I did stumble across a solution, in which you must also enable a setting in the TV & One Guide section; "Audio" must be set to "surround" (instead of the default "stereo uncompressed" in that menu too - something the Dolby app (and Microsoft support) missed. I also had to shut off every device in my system, unplug the power from everything for an hour, then turn everything back on to finally get Atmos sound to work. I can only guess this had something to do with renewing the HDMI handshakes between all devices. While I'm not removing a star for this, it is something that *should* be easier to make work. 4) Other features: Coming from the Xbox One w/ Kinect, I had opted to connect my cable box (Charter/Spectrum) - which offers the most outdated and terrible guide/menu in the known universe. Connecting it to the Xbox allows you to use the One Guide instead which is much nicer. The Kinect was able to control all the functions of the cable box, which made a nice, seamless experience. I was concerned that I would have to buy the Kinect adapter cable for the X to retain this functionality, but was pleasantly surprised to find out that the Kinect wasn't necessary, as the X has it's own IR blaster built-in. As long as you don't have any components behind closed cabinet doors, the X's IR blaster is powerful enough to send out the necessary signals. I am now Kinect sensor free! Another nice feature of the X is the fact it plays UHD Blu-Ray discs. I have not played one yet, but knowing that visually, it should be superior to streaming UHD content (from VUDU, Netflix, Amazon, etc), I know it will be awesome. UHD/HDR streaming IS awesome by the way; the elimination of color banding is perhaps the most welcome benefit, aside from the increase in resolution. 5) Final thoughts: Overall, this console is a true performer. If there are any negatives, it would be with the relatively small standard HDD. At 1TB, one may question why this is a negative; After all, the S comes standard with a 500GB HDD. The issue here, is that for games that take advantage of 4K resolution, typically offer higher-resolution textures to go along with it - which, according to Microsoft, can inflate game size by 33% or more. The extra space quickly becomes consumed and the number of games that can be installed at any one time remains about the same as previous generations - which was always a point of contention with users. Of course, you can buy an external drive to overcome this issue - but that is one more thing to buy. I feel that Microsoft may have missed the mark on this one; Why tout the most powerful console ever, and pair it with a HDD that is honestly too small? It's like putting crappy tires on a performance vehicle. But, alas, I hesitate to remove a star for this, as I personally don't play more than a few games at a time - I don't think it will become much of an issue for me. ... show more

What a beautiful console. I have ran tests in a few games. From backward compatible games to recent released games to some pretty ages games. All on the enhancement settings not in 4K setting but it won’t make a difference to be honest. For a game like The division this game is a beauty. On the Xbox one X I have done load time tests and saw that the loading times have increased 2-3 times faster then the original Xbox one from 2013. From being 26-30 seconds on the original between each and every load to 12-19 seconds on the Xbox one X which varies depending what you are doing ( in the main menu when entering into the game is the longest times while fast traveling is the shorter times ). This also speaks for a game like mass effect andromeda which if you original Xbox one player should ever played the load times on the main menu to the doors when your traveling around takes forever to open or load up but with the Xbox one x the load times are such a significant increase in load times. When walking around the ship in mass effect andromeda the doors usually open before you even step near it orrrr it will open instantly when next to the door which in the original Xbox one it was so tedious to wait for those freakin doors to load up and open so you can enter the next room. And when your game loads up on the main menu ? I would say it’s close to being cut in half. In games like borderlands 2 and the pre sequel I never tested it on the original Xbox one but I’ve entered the game through the main menu and it took literally about 6-7 seconds. Fast traveling for some reason was 9-10 but that is deff fast ! In CPU heavy Games or even just very tough performing Games the Xbox one X dominates the market by cutting the load times by almost half of not half compared to the PlayStation pro which is quite insane. And that’s after the patch the Bethesda brought to the console. Before it was even faster. Over all in all my games I have seen significant improvements whether it’s framerate or even load times and in game quality. And that’s with the including 1 TB hard drive ? Amazing. On the new game pubg this thing is a beauty. Now it’s does almost locked 30fps in 4K which for pubg is completely unbelievable for a 500$ piece of technology. No crashes, little rubber banding in the beginning of games everybody now and then and such smooth gameplay compared to the original Xbox one and even the one S. All games will be improved in such significant ways compared to the one S and the original Xbox one. I have 13 games installed right now. Borderlands the pre sequel, call of duty black ops 3, call of duty infinite warfare, fallout 3, fallout 4 ( including the far harbor and nuka world dlc downloaded ), forza Motorsport 7 demo, halo 5, L.A noire, mass effect andromeda, pubg, record definitive edition, skate 3 and, Tom Clancy’s the division and have 315.3 GB of storage left. And this is with all the patches installed for the 4K/enhancements. The only downside in my opinion would be the fact that when setting up the console for something reason it takes about 280 GB away for idk what reason so you actually start off with 720 GB or so I believe I started with 718 to Ben exact. But honestly it’s worth 500$. No and I mean no other piece of gaming and video streaming tech can compare to a console like this. The enhancements and improvements with this compared to the PlayStation 4 pro is literally night and day. And a 500$ pc cannot compare this thing blows it out of the water. I haven’t also experience any issues at all it’s the best experience. Also you will be saving a lot of space cause this thing is literally small as hell ! The thing that’s blew me away also is the fact that this thing isn’t such a powerful console with some top notch tech yet it’s almost soundless. It’s really quite ! It’s deff worth it for 500$. I really hope everyone could get this to experience true top notch gaming and fun. ... show more

I'd rate the Xbox One X a 4 1/2 star, but since that isn't possible on the Amazon rating system, I'll go ahead and award this console a 5-star. I had no intention of purchasing the Xbox One X because I'm an owner of a PS4 Pro and a high-end gaming PC that's equipped with a GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Hybrid. But my wife wouldn't take no for an answer when I told her that I didn't want anything for my birthday, so I gave in :D. The console is smaller than its predecessors, but it's surprisingly heavy. The design is sleek, which I find far more attractive than the sandwich-design of the PS4 Pro. Compared to Sony's DS4, I much prefer the feel and look of the Xbox One controller, especially in FPS games. However, I still do not understand why Microsoft is so reluctant to include a rechargeable battery pack for the controller or a micro-USB cord (the PS4 comes with both!). I have a handful of micro-USB cords lying around, but they defeat the purpose of the wireless functionality of the controller. I don't want to spend money on freaking AA batteries whenever they run out of juice. And I sure as hell don't want to spend extra on rechargeable battery packs. The Xbox One X is $500! FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! With that premium price, at least make the controller rechargeable like the DS4. In terms of performance, the X is indeed a monster, but not the kind that Microsoft would like you to believe. Despite their claim that this console can deliver "true 4k," the X utilizes the same checkerboard technology of the PS4 Pro, albeit with a higher resolution. If you are still uncertain, you can look up videos by Digital Foundry, who delves into great technical detail regarding the performance of the Xbox One X. The console's 6 teraflop video card is very powerful for a gaming device of its kind, but it pales in comparison to what's currently available in the GPU market. Games that were released in the last three years will look incredible and perform well on the X due to the higher horsepower. But AAA titles are becoming more hardware demanding every year, so it'll be interesting to see how the Xbox One X carry itself in the next 2-4 years, assuming the console cycle will last that long. In the meantime, however, all multi-platform games will undoubtedly look better on the X than they will on the PS4 Pro. But sadly, Microsoft's library of exclusive games is anemic. While Sony continues to push out enticing previews of upcoming exclusive games, Microsoft backpedals to the games of the past. The list is quite vast, but most of the Xbox 360 games that I own and want to play have yet to be made backwards compatible, which renders the functionality completely pointless at this time. As a long time ardent fan of the Halo series, I would love to play Halo: Reach with an Xbox One X enhanced visuals, HDR, and 60fps. But given 343 Industries' peculiar reluctance to support the fan favorite Halo game, I highly doubt that Reach will ever receive the upgrade that it deserves. So please, Microsoft and 343, do yourselves and the fans a favor: give Halo: Reach, one the best Xbox 360 exclusive titles, an Xbox One X Enhancement! Regardless of Microsoft's misleading claims, the X packs quite a bit for $500. Unlike the PS4 Pro, the Xbox One X is equipped with a 4k HDR Blu-ray player, which alone retails for $200. Thus, the console is a very well rounded home device, and it also gives me a reason to start collecting movie DVDs again. And in 4K HDR! Combine all this with my new LG 43UJ63 that I purchased recently, my setup is practically complete! My final criticism regarding the X is its limited storage capacity. 1TB may seem large, but it will fill up extremely fast due to the 4K assets of enhanced games. ... show more

Pattern Name: Single
Review Image by Jake OMalley
First off, the original review was 2 stars, I'm changing this to one, purely because of the fact that it wasn't what's advertised, on top of the fact more people will see this. Now, I'm not sure what I should say here. I'm torn at the moment. I bet you're asking, why? I'll start from the beginning. Let's go back in time, a few months, around early June. I was in the market for a One X, Forza was relevant and hot within my group, and I needed an upgrade from my Xbox 360. This was an extremely odd phase for Microsoft, as almost no One X's could be found new from their site. I took a peek at Microsoft's pricing as well. It was considerably lower than comparable vendors. All right, fine. This is about the period I would be scouring the internet, high and low, as I didn't want a One S, as that was seemingly an Xbox One in color, white, which I see as boring, and tasteless. If that's your thing, go for it, but I'm not feeling it. ESPECIALLY with the "all-digital" variation. So one day, I gave up after searching for long. Hard throughout more trusted distributors (i.e., Target, Best Buy, Even Gamestop), I eventually settled on Amazon of all places. Of course, I knew something of a rarity, especially being discontinued, would lead to some 'loose ends' somewhere, boy, I was right on that. I ordered with blind faith, ultimately hoping for the best. Order received. Great! Now I've got a One X on the way, an abnormally long shipping estimate, so just like any kid in a candy store would do, I start digging through the internet trying to learn every single thing about this Console. I see many reviews, unboxings, impressions, and I'll be honest, It's got me in a very excited state. The shipping date changes. It comes a few days early. Great! However, the package requires a signature. Ok. I'll get home from work, and I'll play on my Xbox and get lost in the immersive gaming experience! Let's say that's not what happened... Fortunately, someone was at my place when the Xbox came in, so it was signed for, thank god. All right! I open the box, and I'm blown away! It's such a clean looking professional box. That's great! As the Console had been discontinued at this point, I felt like the luckiest guy in the world. I opened the box; however, from my seller, I could tell this was substantially different from the Microsoft experience, at least as far as I was concerned. I was missing My Xbox Live Gold, My Documentation, Everything! But I didn't know about this at the time. Little did I know as well. My warranty was already missing a majority of its lifespan. I open the box, I take extra care as not to damage anything, The Console seems to be in really nice physical condition, weighs a lot as expected, but something feels off, "Seattle -> You" badge seems really sloppy, I take it was likely refurbished with a Chinese case after some heavy use, or a very careless/'unknowing as to how to care to it' ownership. Not a problem. To me, It's just an Xbox that got lost in quality control, oh well. Well, I got everything plugged in. It started. However, I noticed something... odd... The startup '4K Chip' Scene was extremely laggy. I tested this on my 4K TV and my 1080p monitor. Same result. Odd. This detail wasn't a problem. On Reddit, others said this could occur after just a few days. I downloaded Forza Horizon 4. I had played FH4 on PC for a while. I bought this Xbox to use multiplayer as my PC was inoperable in that field. I have a decent computer, so I know how lovely the graphics are. After getting all of my content synced, I was able to play. Now, I get this was a 400 dollar console new, but this didn't look very good. Constant stuttering, like it, had been hit with a hammer a few times for sure. I wasn't sure what to expect, considering I was so new in this field, but with bold claims like "Xbox One X Enhanced," among others, I was expecting a little better. Marketing hoo-ha (Read till the end, I'm not nitpicking) as far as I'm concerned. Now, This is all right. I bought Xbox Live Gold as it was an excellent deal at the time. Now, I started downloading other things and testing features. My controller was nice. I liked the way it felt for sure. That's one of the nice parts about the One X I received. I also read that there was a 4K Blu-Ray Player on board, so that's pretty awesome. I tried it out with a generic DVD. It was a brand new movie. I put the disc in. I felt a little resistance at first, oh well. It went in; the movie looked nice, what a nice feature! I pulled the disc out to put it away, well, unfortunately, It's scratched. Not sure if it was the quality of the CD or what, live and learn is what they say. As I experimented, I realized I didn't have a good home for this Xbox, It didn't work as advertised, and I let it stand for a while. I just had zero urge to play. I was ultimately depressed. I spent this much money on a used piece of junk. I put it in the box and left it in the corner for a while. Now, This is one of the EXTREMELY RARE stories that has both sides of the story. Shortly after, I was browsing Microsoft again for one of these, even though I thought it was going to be the same result. *Add to Cart* Are you telling me, I can buy a new one of these... from Microsoft? I dropped everything I was doing and bought it on the spot for 38 dollars less than the one from Direct Distributor. Great! The best part? One. Day. Delivery. That was AMAZING to have it overnighted for 15 dollars shipping. You can tell I was likely pretty excited. I unboxed it, and It had all the documentation I wanted, plus extra! Now, this Console was a late 2017 model, which I've heard are pretty prone to overheating. I bought a vertical stand for it, similar to the one from Project Scorpio. It gives the Console enhanced airflow. At this point, from my old Console to this, with a cooked graphics card on the original, I take extra precautions every time I use this one. It has it's own corner, and it gets moved to the center of the desk every time it has the lovely time of being used. Now, This one has ZERO lag on startup. It was AMAZING! I got Forza installed, it runs almost perfectly, not PC level, but It's nice. I have about 50 hours into it now. I play it less these days because of time restraints; however, It was night and day difference. Skyrim runs awesome, of course. The Blu-Ray is even better (and doesn't bite). The controller was revision #1, so not the same. However, a controller is much easier to replace than a whole unit, especially discontinued. I still believe I got an Xbox One X from the last batch Microsoft will ever sell. On top of this, My warranty was in full, and I've got my whole Console again. The wifi is smooth, the browsing is great, and this thing is my queen, practically. What should you take from this? Well, from the time of writing this, The Xbox Series S is 300 and will be up for preorder seven days from now, available right in time for the holidays. SO MUCH POWER for so little money, The Series X costs less than a wild card Xbox One X on here. Now, Here's The Verdict. Seller: Being Direct Distributor, They had some EXTREMELY high ratings, which was lovely; however, I believe that this was an incredibly irresponsible and wrong decision on their end to send a console labeled NEW as a poor refurb. However, Even though I missed the return date, on top of the fact they say you're not allowed to return game consoles, they gave me all my money back after being in limbo for a few days. Incredible experience overall, so I hate them and love them at the same time. The Console: I'm saying this from the perspective of my NEW One X from Microsoft. It's an AMAZING console, a significant upgrade as far as the 360 goes. It's so much different than my, so quiet, so powerful, and a dream to use. Right Now: Don't buy this Console, anywhere. It's far too expensive, it's dated hardware, and it offers an older design that in the 2017's is prone to overheating failure, don't bring me back to that issues on the 360. No good. However, I would go for the Series S, 300 dollars for Next-gen stuff? Or 12 Teraflops on the Series X for 63 dollars less than "New" asking on here right now? No thanks. Save yourself the money, and buy something even better. Thanks For Reading. Name: Jake O'Malley Seller: Direct Distributor ... show more

Don't throw away the packing material.

Follow-up: Since I have received the replacement XBox, I have had a much more pleasurable experience. Everything works, the games install and load as expected, downloads seem to work just fine without issue, and so on. I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because of my initial experience, but overall I'm pleased with the console. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preamble: I went back and forth between purchasing an Xbox One and a Playstation 4, but decided on the Xbox because of the 4K blu-ray player. Might have been better off just buying a 4K blu-ray player. --Diary-- Friday: Xbox arrives on my doorstep in the afternoon. Cool! Unbox the unit, no instructions other than a thin booklet with warnings written in various languages. Go online. A/V setup seems pretty straight forward, plug it in, put batteries in the remote (no instructions on how to link with console), and fire it up. Box starts up and goes into initial setup. Get to screen where initial update takes place, starts to download update package (about 800Mb or so), process stops about 100MB in. Re-boot, get a few more MB on the update download, stops again. Re-boot again, few more MB, at this point I say enough, go out to dinner with my wife (who is wondering why I started this evolution before going to dinner). Get back home, more reboots, finally do a full system reset, some E102 and E105 errors in there, and miraculously by about 1AM everything seem to be set up. Call it a night and go to bed, remembering that I haven't had this much fun since installing OS/2 back in the day, when you had to laboriously feed 36 floppies for the install, only to have it fail at the end and start over... Saturday: Get up, hesitantly push the power on button (will it boot up?) when I am greeted by the Home screen. Hooray! Put in "Planet Earth II" to test out the 4K Blu-ray. Looks gorgeous! Watch a few shows on Amazon and Netflix, looks great, Amazon app a little weird in that you cannot purchase content from it, so had to start up the Amazon app on the TV to rent a movie, then go back to the Xbox app to watch it. Beautiful day! Sunday: Get up, put in another 4K movie (Blade Runner), get a message that it cannot read the disk. Restart the Xbox. Same message. Put in the Planet Earth II disk that worked fine the day before. Can't read the disk. After doing some Internet research, discover that the fix is to do a system reset, preserving games and apps. Remembering the debacle on Friday night, tentatively do so. Box resets, have to go back and set everything back up, put in disk, and now it can load the movie (Blade Runner). Watch first part of the movie, wondering what I've gotten myself into with this Xbox. Monday: Have the day off, so I decide to download Doom III. About 58 GB, takes about 1.5 hours to download. Download halts a couple of times, have to back out and restart, but finally completes. Fire it up, looks great, but after about a minute of game play, get a warning that it cannot save the game. Back out to start screen, game "slot 1" says corrupt file. Do some Internet research, solution seems to be do a system reset, preserving games. Reset game console, set it back up, load Doom, works great, looks awesome. Play for about an hour or so. Tuesday: Forza 6 comes in the mail. Awesome! Put the disk in the console, installation process starts, system tells me that an update will need to be downloaded (about 8 GB) in order to play, say ok, install restarts, where the game console is slowly copying the game files from the disk while simultaneously downloading the update. Process stops after about 1/2 hour. Back out, restart, process starts again. Stops again. Back out again, Xbox won't restart this time, get E105 error. Finally decide that I've had enough, do a full system reset to clear out any saved information, box it back up, notify Amazon to send me a replacement. Maybe I received a defective Xbox and a new one will work better. But even so, the platform seems to me to be somewhat half baked and particularly fault intolerant, where any issue with the seemingly complex chain of events needed to load and play a game is enough to literally make the box unusable and force a system reset, which may or may not be time consuming depending on how much content you have downloaded, but is still certainly an annoyance. So even if there was a hardware malfunction causing the problem, the system does not seem to be all the stable on a good day. Besides which, this is not a console where you can just put in a disk and start playing a game. It seems that you will need a fast broadband connection (and no download limits!) and will still need to allocate an hour or two on the initial setup, even if you own the game on disk. Exciting! Lesson learned: After four days with this console, I liken it to playing Russian Roulette with rubber bullets. If this is the future of game play, then buy a pack of cards. You'll need them anyway to play solitaire while waiting for your games to install. ... show more

Perfect for 4k home theaters
Pattern Name: Single
Awesome console for high quality home theaters, but with huge updates to download. I have all the consoles, used to be a PC game, and actually already owned a XBOX ONE. I purchased this as an entry into 4k. My primary gaming setup is a basement home theater a 1080 projector, 4k projectors are still way to expensive, but I was willing to buy a 4k TV for the living room. I purchased the XB1X console in conjunction with a 65 inch Sony 4k HDR capable television. This console is also plugged into a high quality receiver and speaker system. I have 6 games that are enhanced for the console and they are really amazing in action. You can't appreciate the improvement until you see it live in 4k with HDR, any online video in 1080 is not going to do it justice.. Forza 7 and Rise of the Tomb Raider are stand outs. There is a very big difference between streaming 4k signals via netflix or youtube and a native 4k game or 4k blu ray disc. Until this console was available I did not see a good reason to take the plunge. If you want a next level experience and have the cash to burn it is a fun ride once the games are installed. This console exists side by side with the XB1 which is designed to run games in regular HD, so whenever you install a new game it has to download all the improved 4k textures and assets from the internet. This can be significant, for example in the case of Forza 7, the update was 62GB. Gone are the days when you can insert a game and just play, every one of the enhanced games I have played required a pretty significant update. My internet speed is 100Mbs, some of these updates basically needed most of the a night to download. The downloads will continue when your console is on stand by, so you pop the game in, get the download going and walk away. You can't just pop a disc in and play. This may not always be the case, it is possible future releases could include the 4k assets on disc, but for now it is the reality. I am curious to see how this console evolves in the future. During the run up to release a lot was made of its VR capabilities, but MS has gone silent on that. I don't know if there is a pending announcement, but it is something I will like to try out, so hopefully it comes back. There is also an opportunity to push this console beyond what could be supported by the regular XB1 console, so I am not sure how that will play out. Will there be a new XB console released when the Playstation 5 comes out? There are certainly some open questions regarding the future. In the meantime if you want the best experience outside of a custom PC gaming rig, the XB1X is the best available option right now. If you have a great display and sound system, you finally have a simple device that can pump native 4k content through your system. ... show more

Microsoft’s New console is a beast! With a very powerful and well thought out console. I had the first generation Xbox one and that thing is louder runs hotter and now a papper weight, after getting the X. I run a Samsung 50” UHD TV with a Highspeed HDMI(comes in box) and a Sat6(10GBS) hardwire to my router with a bypassed and portforwarded though the fire wall. The X I believe has a Sat4,5 so with 10GBs a sexy WiFi (ATT U-verse fiber optic) I am hitting a slow dowload of 350MBS with a High of 600MB/s (Open bandwidth) Now This may varey apon internet provider and what they offer, but I wanted to put it my review to show the upgrade of the last gen witch for me only hit a of 150mbs. So in all my x does 1GB every 2 seconds and a 48GB game in 96 seconds or 1min 36sec. Now for the UHD output 4K is made in difrent ways 1080 in a cross grid then upscaled and 4K output. The Xbox does the 4K UHD output(True 4K) With my tv Running 10 Bit 32collor pallet. So that’s 32 colors put into a single pixel and 4K is 4096x2160 next to a HD (1080) 1920x1080. The console puts out 283,115,520 colors 60times a second. Your brain can see at around 25 FPS(Frames per sec) and drops below look like screen tears and slow mo. Now The one is a True gamers dream console and would only be available with a mid level gameing PC with a $700 price tag. Now the XBOX has a $509 MSRP After taxes.(Texas order). So it is the best bang for the buck! It does have a solid state drive a WD 1TB(1000GB) witch could have been swaped for a SSD during production for faster download speed hence the high of a 300mbS with a sat 5 capable of 7GBS a sec. Wich isn’t bad at all but I am nit picky and my only gripe. But In all a stock a Gameing rig you pay $500 for and well worth $200 more. Not only loads faster a Higher 16GB ram for visible data and I game meshes to not have to load the worlds as much. A plug in and play with internal power brick a multi media player SD, Blue Ray, and UHD4k DVD. And enginuity that blows Sony out of the water like Hiroshima, and grafics that suck you in and makes the game seem feel and look amazing! ... show more
