    Could not be happier upgrading my XBOX ONE S (not trading or selling my X1S) to the XBOX ONE X Scorpio Edition. It's the only console along with the S that can play Ultra 4K physical disc. It's backwards compatible with many XBOX 360 & select OG XBOX games. I bought a Sony 4K OLED A1E 55'inch to take advance of the X1X's 4K & HDR capabilities. I've never seen a game look so visually amazing as Assassin's Creed Origins taking full advantage of X1X's 4K & HDR features. Even older games like Mirror's Edge on 360 is Enhanced and looks beautiful. I don't think I would recommend the X1X unless you own a 4K tv w/ HDR. You won't be able to take advantage of all of its benefits. I would stick with the X1S, which is no slouch. I would also recommend purchasing a external hard drive with at least 4 TB of memory. The games that are XBOX ONE X Enhanced take up A LOT more space on your HDD. The internal 1 TB is not enough to retain but a few titles that are large in storage requirements. One more note. I would highly recommend 4K tv owners with HDR to keep HDR set to "Auto". If turned on it may make non supported HDR titles look weird with the colors. Speaking for my Sony 4K it automatically recognized my games that were HDR compatible and turn it on when they were in play such as AC:Origins, FF XV, & Dead Rising 4.

    I have always enjoyed my Xbox One. Since recieving the One X i have finally put my Samsung KS8000 4K television to some good use. The games (that have been patched) look amazing in 4K and run very smooth. Playing Tomb Raider and FFXV in 4K is like playing the games new all over again.

    Was able to get my hands on the Day 1 edition , system looks real nice and performs great. The xb1x enhanced games look great on my OLED TV ! The only issue so far is playing regular dvds on it . I'm noticing lip sync issues where the actors lips and the words do not match up no matter the configuration. Once I put a Blu-ray or a 4k ultra disc it works perfect. Other then that no complaints.

    A Console To Grow Into

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've been a Microsoft console owner since the original Xbox, so I've consider myself something of a connoisseur. I've bought "Launch Day" consoles in each generation and the XB1 was no exception. I was thinking about upgrades and was ready to move on towards the S model. Then the rumors started coming out about "Scorpio"...so I held off...and I'm glad I did. The best way I can describe the XBox 1 X is as a console you can "grow into". If I'd bought the S, I know I would have been disappointed, even angry when the 1 X came out. I don't have a 4K TV yet, but we will. I know the extra power in the console will be used in the near future. It certainly has made Sony look over their shoulder. I like the new controller. It's just a touch smaller than the Xbox One, but it feels tighter and more responsive. The interface is zippy and feels tight also. One of the things I've VERY happy about...and this may not seem like a big deal...but not having to clear out space for a power BRICK is FANTASTIC. Overall, I'm happy with the console and look forward to really putting it through the paces.

    I always buy special edition game consoles , there is nothing special other then it says project Scorpio in small print . The controller is the same way, just as boring , makes no special sounds . Fan is already making a buzzing sound at times . I have it laying flat on the tv stand . I figure it’s going to burn up . Other then the 4-k part of it which looks great , I am more happy with my Xbox 1 call of duty edition I bought New Years ago , loading times from disk or over hardwire take just as long on the new one , but I will say it’s still not as bad as my PlayStation 4 .

    Microsoft did a great job with the Xbox One X, they promised incredible graphics and they were able to do it! I'm satisfied with this console. Also, if you have a Samsung SUHD or QLED TV, you will be able to enjoy it much more.

    Amazing Amount Of Power In One Little Box

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    First thing I've noticed was the weight of the console. It is surprisingly heavy. Only explanation I can think of why it's so heavy is the amount of power this console has once I turned it on. It's like night and day when comparing a few of my games I have for the original Xbox One and S to the X. The graphics are amazing and the system is extremely quiet also. I'm so glad this day finally arrived and very pleased with my purchase. Can't wait to see what Microsoft has in store for Xbox coming 2018.

    It deliever on its true 4k promise. It's a well designed and manufactured console. It is slightly smaller than Xbox One S, yet way more powerful. It's quiter during idle + Video Playback and just a little louder under load compared to the Xbox One S. It's power consumption is on par with the original (fat) Xbox One. It benefits both 1080p and 4k TV user.

    An XBox for the Avid XBox fan

    |
    |
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The XBox One X, IMO, is a great console for the avid XBox fan. I have been using the console since it launched, so I have a few months with it now. First what we know. It is the most powerful console at this time. It can play games in Native 4k with HDR, where compliant, but even those games that are not XBox One X enhanced will look better and have shorter load times, on the whole. Honestly, there are so many variables involved when it comes to 4k, 60 fps and HDR, that it goes beyond my understanding. I researched 4k and HDR standards a couple of years ago when I was looking to upgrade my TV. There was so much on the topic and yet, I never truly felt like I understood everything that made it all come together. I can quote some numbers I read about, but honestly it would be hollow rumbling and spewing of garbage since I am by no means an expert on the topic. What I can tell you is that my experience will almost certainly not be exactly the same as someone else. However, it might be similar. I have an LG OLED65B6P with an LG 300w Soundbar and 10" woofer. Even if you have the same exact setup, anything I write about my experience, with my TV, might not apply to you. I often leave my TV in game mode for most normal TV watching and of course gaming. I recommend the gaming setting if your TV has one. What I can tell you is, with this XBox, and my setup, I have noticed a significant improvement in my gaming experience. Games load so much faster on the One X Scorpio than my Day One Edition. The most dramatic improvement I noticed was in the load times for Battlefront. On my Day One Edition it would take an average 5-8 minutes to load a map and get to gaming. On the Scoripio, it takes maybe a minute and a half, at the most. Likely bandwidth issues on my end contribute to this, but it is still so much faster on the One X and looks better overall. Most of the time I can select the A button to load the next map while stats are still tallying from the previous game. I am normally one of the first on the Map and waiting for the game to start and my teammates to join. It might not matter that much, but I was impressed. Other games like Shadow of War, Assassin's Creed, and Forza, play so much better and load so much faster on my One X. Those games are enhanced from the developers already, so it only makes sense they would be better than on my Day One Edition. Older games look better too. Halo Reach, Halo 4 and Halo 5 definitely look and play better on the One X. Colors look better. Frame rates are more stable, and load times are less than on my Day One Edition. I can't attest to whether I am gaming at or near 60 FPS. I have no means to measure this myself, but the look and feel of games is improved overall. Lastly, this thing can play 4k Blu Rays. I only have two 4k blu ray DVDs, but they look and sound awesome. Now for the negatives. First the cost. At $500.00 it is expensive, and I honestly can't say it would be that much of an improvement over something like an XBox One S, to justify the cost. I don't have a One S, but I had not bought an XBox since 2013 and I wanted something that could play on my 4k TV. I also had $200 in gift cards, so my Scorpio only cost me $300.00 and some change after taxes. Second, the memory. Sure you can plug in a portable drive, but that sucks. I have two 500 GB Drives and one 1TB drive, and it is a pain to figure out which one has the title I want to play. I likely just need a better labeling system on the drives, and this could be a moot point. Still, why in the world would you have a 4k capable console, with as much memory as the enhanced games take up, and not include a 2-5 TB drive option. I think games like Forza7 and Halo 5 take up around 40-80 GB with the enhancements. Another issue I have is with loading the games to the console. I get it, this prevents the disk from constantly spinning and leads to shorter load times and can help to prevent heat issues, etc. But it is still annoying. It just sucks having to wait for an hour to play a game you are eager to get into. That being said, downloads are faster on the One X. Third, no input for the Kinect! I didn't own a One S but this issue persisted there as well, because Microsoft did not include the input for the Kinect. This is inexcusable and I joined a bevy of fans that are sending formal complaints to Microsoft. Those complaints have fallen on deaf ears though as Microsoft discontinued support for the Kinect and adabpter just recently. I was super annoyed that I could not hook up my Kinect. Yes, I know I can buy the adapter from a third party and it will be fine, but in light of Microsoft's move to stop making the adapters, markups on these adapters are soaring. This is complete and utter BS and I am disappointment in Microsoft over this. Now that I am done whining like a baby, I can say not using the Kinect hasn't really been that big of a deal for me and it hasn't affected my gaming. It was cool being able to turn the thing off and on with the Kinect, but honestly the controller is probably quicker when navigating the XBox. If you have titles that require a Kinect though, I feel bad for you. As a result of the issue with the Kinect on the One X, I only give it 4 stars. To sum up, I am extremely pleased with my One X Scorpio Edition. It plays games better and faster, as advertised. It is sleek, small and whisper quiet. I do wish the Scorpio was a little more distinguishable from the average One X. Other than the pattern on the console, the Scorpio tags on the controller and console, and the stand, these limited editions don't bring much to the table, except bragging rights. Despite this I highly recommend the One X, however, it may not be for you if you do not have a 4k TV, or if you already own a One S.

    Great Upgrade, Especially for 4K HDR TVs

    I'm really happy that I ordered the Xbox One X. It brings a noticeable improvement in quality and speed with all games, especially so with those that have been patched to take advantage of the better hardware. It also comes in a package that's smaller still than the Xbox One S. I think Microsoft has a game problem right now, but if you've been on the Xbox wagon like I have and you have a 4K TV you won't regret this decision. The Project Scorpio Edition is the same as the normal Xbox One X, but it adds some slightly different patterning and logos on the console and throws in a vertical stand. The packaging is reminiscent of the original Xbox, which is nice little nod for long-time fans. In the box you get the console with a 1TB hard drive, a special edition controller (buttons blacked out and with Project Scorpio printed across the center), the vertical stand, and the power cord. Those coming from the original Xbox One will be pleasantly surprised to see there's no more power brick to deal with. The ports across the back are in the same arrangement as the Xbox One S. Gaming on the Xbox One X is pretty great. They system starts up fast and loads games and apps quickly. Forza Motorsport 7 looks incredible in 4K/HDR and runs buttery smooth. Older games like Halo 5 look brand new again thanks to patches from Microsoft. There's already a pretty long list of games that either have or are set to receive a patch for the Xbox One X, so you won't be short on games that take advantage of the new hardware. Even games that haven't been patched yet still look much better. I noticed that the overall interface seems a bit quicker to navigate as well. Microsoft keeps changing up the Xbox One dashboard, but I think they finally got it right this time. As a bonus the One X also doubles as a 4K Blu-ray player - something the PS4 Pro did not include for some reason. If you weren't a fan of the Xbox One before I'd hesitate to say the One X will change your mind, but if you already on board I think it's a worthwhile upgrade.

    The Xbox Got Even Better

    The Xbox One X is advertised as the most power console ever made, and Microsoft really delivered. The console is much smaller than the normal Xbox One, and looks great on a vertical stand. I wasn't too sure about 4K gaming and if it would really be that big of a difference. When I started playing some 4K games, I couldn't believe how big the difference truly was. The graphics are amazing, and everything is so much more crisp. Movements of characters and environments seem more fluid than anything I've ever seen on a TV. The 4K Blu Ray drive is also a huge bonus. This Xbox simply performs every task at an extremely high level. Nearly two weeks into owning my Xbox, and I couldn't be more satisfied. I would recommend that you get this product to see its true power for yourself.

    First things first - you really need a 4k tv WITH HDR to really see the amazing difference in visuals that this much power delivers. (best inexpensive 4k tv with HDR and more, TCL 55P605, I use it, awesome). anyway, watching games updated to take advantage of its capabilities is stunning. HDR adds so much realism to lighting that I don't even want to play games that don't support it. add 4k graphics to that and you'll spend time just looking around not even doing anything. I cant imagine what Red Dead Redemption 2 might look like on this. My older games play smoother, load faster, so far no minuses. and it's SMALL, no idea how they did it. I do hope they add VR at some point. so far no negatives.

    Pre-ordered the Project Scorpio edition the second the pre-orders went live. Although pricey, this version is the smallest, yet the most powerful version of the Xbox one. The list of Xbox One X enhanced game library continues to grow, which convinced me to purchase this system as I now get to enjoy some games from last year all over again as the graphical clarity has increased significantly. If you own a 4K TV, then this purchase is a no brainer!

    I got a new 4K TV earlier this year and never upgraded to the Xbox One S from my original Xbox One to take advantage of 4K video. Now that I have this I can watch 4K video in addition to 4K gaming. If you don't have a 4K TV you may want to hold off on purchasing the One X. It does improve the graphics for 1080p and loads a bit faster but it's up to each user to make that call on their own. It's also a lot smaller than my original Xbox One. No port for the Kinect but I never used it anyway.

    Project Scorpio Edition, featuring a custom design, "Project Scorpio" inscribed on both the console and controller, and a vertical stand. With 40% more power than any other console, experience immersive true 4K gaming. Blockbuster titles look great, run smoothly, and load quickly even on a 1080p screen. Xbox One X also works with all your Xbox One games and accessories as well as Xbox Live, the most advanced multiplayer network, giving you more ways to play. Games play better on Xbox One X.

    The Xbox One X is awesome! I got the Scorpio Edition at launch because I love special editions! Now that original Xbox games and Xbox 360 games are becoming playable, Microsoft has made me the happiest gamer ever! I still have an original Xbox and a 360. But now, I can use one console for all three generations! The X is extremely fast, quiet, runs pretty cool, and looks great (I hated my WHITE One S 2TB color!). Way to go Microsoft!

    It's here, the world most powerful console! If you have a 4K HDR TV, then this console is what you want. The design is very slick and puts the original Xbox One to shame. The console is surprisingly heavy and runs nearly silent. Games look incredible and the Xbox One X enhanced library continues to grow each day. Just be sure you have an external hard drive because these games are huge (75-100GB typically)!

    The console looks great both physically and its graphics. The $500 price tag can be a tun off for some people but I think it is fair for what your getting. If you have a 4K TV I recommend getting the One X over the One S but if you don't have a 4K TV or can't afford the $500 it's fair to hold off on buying this.

    If you own a 4K television you should pick this up. I was skeptical at first because Xbox One games looked good on my television but I was BLOWN AWAY by the visuals when playing Xbox One X Enhanced games. Halo 5, The Witcher 3, Fallout and Assassins Creed Origins look like different games. In addition to the enhanced visuals, all games load faster and play smoother. Don’t miss out!
