Microsoft XBox Series X – Unboxing
Introduction/Description
The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are the fourth generation of consoles in the Xbox series. Released on November 10, 2020, the higher-end Xbox Series X and lower-end Xbox Series S are part of the ninth generation of video game consoles, which also includes Sony’s PlayStation 5, released the same month. Both superseded the Xbox One.
After a very long time I now decided to buy my own to see how this console works.

Opinion
I must say that I’m very impressed about the performance of this console. Every game I tried runs so fluid.
Even the installation was easy – you can even simply install it with your mobile phone.
OK at the end you must adapt some settings like the 4K resolution and if you have a TV with HDMI 2.1, not like me, you can even set it to 120Hz.
There is one negative point: The controller seems much less quality than the one from my XBox One S.
The A button even get’s stuck some times. So I bought another controller just to have a working one but I can confirm the lack of quality for those – at least here the buttons don’t get stuck.
I simply just can recommend this console but be aware to have enough controllers 😛
