I don't have a PS5 so can't compare. But...reasons to get the Xbox Series X:
Start with the unboxing, it's quite a cool unboxing, it's not something I'd normally get too excited about, but they way they boxed this thing is so cool it has to be mentioned.
It really can't get much better than this. I upgraded from the Xbox One, and had heard about some of the new features like quick resume, thought it sounded cool. Faster loading speeds etc. 4k 120 fps.
Just wow, the upgrade is very noticeable. If you have the right TV/Screen (which I do) to get the most out of this then the pictures are outstanding, even on older games. The load times are a fraction of Xbox One, which keeps you immersed in games or swapping between apps a delight. Not too many next gen games yet but I can confidently say they are coming and will be coming in bulk, in the near future.
Quick resume. Now this is sometime I thought was a cool feature upon hearing about it. But after using it, damn. It's such a great feature and now one I couldn't go without again, you can have several games on quick resume all ready and waiting to be played from the exact moment you left them. Literally takes a few seconds to swap and load up another game. If your an avid gamer, and your playing games daily, sometimes playing between 2/3 or more games a day. It's cutting out all the start up load times, all the main menu, load game, start up ads, etc. Saving you minutes every time. This adds up quick. I've gone from playing 1 game, to another, then watching videos, jumping into another couple games for say a couple days, then a couple days later going back to the first game, still thinking as if I'm on the Xbox One "oh I'll have to wait for it to go through the start up process", for it to 3 seconds later have loaded me in at where I left it 2 days ago and be playing straight away. They really thought about what a player wants and went above and beyond with this one, how I can go from turning off the xbox during a game, to 24 hours later im able to start up the xbox and be playing that game from the exact point I turned it off in less than 15 seconds is amazing.
It's quiet, less noise than the Xbox One which I didn't even consider noisy anyway. Heat output is about the same, had the console a few month now and had ZERO issues with it.
The unit itself looks nice, techy and will go anywhere quite solidly. Feels solid and well built.
Game pass, got to love the game pass, obviously a separate product but worth the mention, tons of games for a low monthly cost which can not only be used on your Xbox. But you can play the same games on your PC AND mobile via cloud too. So can be playing a game at home on Xbox, go to work, park, wherever, and play the same game from my phone on cloud without having to install it.

The Ultimate Gaming Beast
I'm absolutely loving my Xbox Series X Console, but I do want to warn others about one thing: it's BIG.I was expecting a slightly larger size compared to the previous Xbox consoles, but this thing is MASSIVE! It's actually so big that it won't even fit under most TV units - mine wouldn't even come close. In fact, it's currently sitting on the floor next to my TV unit, taking up a whole chunk of space.That being said, I think the size is actually kind of necessary for all the advanced tech and features they've packed into this console. And let me tell you, it's worth it. The performance is lightning-fast, the graphics are stunning, and the controller is comfortable to hold.I've been playing games non-stop since I got it, and I'm loving every minute of it. From Halo to Forza Horizon 5, everything looks and plays like a dream. And with the new Xbox app on my phone, I can easily share game clips and photos with friends.One thing to note: if you're planning on putting this console under your TV, forget about it. Just be prepared for the fact that it'll take up some extra space in your room. In my case, it's now a permanent resident on the floor next to my TV unit.Overall, I'm so happy with my Xbox Series X Console that I'd recommend it to anyone who's a serious gamer. Just be aware of the size factor, and plan accordingly!**Product Details:*** Xbox Series X Console* Massive storage capacity (1TB, with expandable storage options)* Super-fast performance (up to 12 TFLOPS)* Stunning graphics (support for up to 8K resolution)* Comfortable controller design**Pros:*** Lightning-fast performance* Stunning graphics* Comfortable controller design* Massive storage capacity (with expandable options)**Cons:*** BIG size - won't fit under most TV units and takes up some floor spaceOverall, I'm extremely happy with my Xbox Series X Console.

10/10 - Absolutely Fantastic - and by far Microsoft’s best value console for the price to date!I’ve been playing Xbox most of my life, I’ve owned the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, and now the Xbox Series X... this is looking by far Microsoft’s strongest console to date, I’ve had a brilliant experience using it so far...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2020
For the price of £449.99, this console is truly fantastic, so good that I’m not even sure how Microsoft make money on it at this price! You get the console itself, a controller, a power cable and HDMI 2.1 cord... incredibly good value... Just to name one thing, this console is very very fast - coming from the 2013 Xbox One, shockingly fast! Loading times are an absolute breeze... best example I can think of is when fast travelling in Red Dead Redemption 2, it takes 5 seconds or less, the console cold boots in about 15-18 seconds and can start from sleep in just 4 seconds!
Setup is quick and easy with a smartphone and the Xbox App downloaded and it’s easy to transfer and download games if you want to take them with you from your old console, you can either transfer them over WiFi if your old console is still plugged in, or put them onto a physical hard drive which can be plugged into the console to transfer the games off if you prefer...
The build quality is sublime, it’s extremely sturdy, compact, and the quality of the materials used are second to none, aesthetically it looks great, the green paint inside the top of the console really makes it look like it’s glowing - at the base of the console the screws that hold the stand onto the main body actually go all the way through the console itself... meaning it’s very stable when sitting upright, there is no rocking or bad movements... it just has a great look about it, and will stand proud on your desk/in your media centre whilst blending in and remaining subtle at the same time, and is a very convenient shape!
In terms of cooling, again very good... there were originally some rumours about heat problems with this console, but after playing red dead redemption 2 for an hour at 4k quality, I can confidently say these are false, the top of the console was just over luke-warm to the touch, really just felt like the air from a hair dryer on the lowest setting, nothing that could ‘burn your hand’ as some early reviewers suggested... the console sucks air in from the bottom and expels it out of the top vent, so make sure you leave appropriate space above, and on either side of the console to allow for efficient cooling!
Thought I’d talk about noise, the console is almost silent, even under heavy load it makes very little to no noise, you actually have to move close to the console and tilt your head so you can hear the low pitched humming sound coming from the main cooling fan, very impressive to says the quality of the games it can run, pretty much inaudible...
The final thing I wanted to cover was the output quality of the console, this largely depends on the screen that you have but you can choose between 1080p, 1440p, and 4k, followed by refresh rates of 60hz and 120hz, you can also utilise Freesync to eliminate tearing, and calibrate HDR from the console - I’d recommend having a 1440p quality screen or higher to fully utilise the quality that this console has to offer, a monitor and TV are both fine to use and it’s all down to personal preference, as can be seen in the photos I use the LG 27GL850 which is a 1440p, 144hz, 1ms response time monitor!
Overall, I’m just kind of just blown away at the quality to price ratio here, would I recommend the console? 100%... Especially if you are still using an original Xbox One, the performance gap between that and this is phenomenal. Sure there aren’t a lot of new games out at the minute - which is the only real downside, however there are plenty of games that are optimised for use with the console that exist already, and I’d assume that we will see more AAA titles being released as the world gets moving again... I’d definitely recommend getting this console down to the sheer performance and quality alone, you will not be disappointed!
EDIT: (After 40 Days of Usage) This review is still fully accurate of my opinion on this console, it performs like a beast, it’s pretty much silent under load, I’ve been having a blast playing COD at 120fps on it and I’ve clocked about 300 hours so far with no issues, what a great piece of kit!
