Xbox Series X Review

Andrew got a new console.

- Andrew Duncan

There are some consoles that go for a flashy exterior but that can’t be said about the Xbox Series X, which actually looks like a black box. That’s not a bad thing, as when it’s in use I usually forget it’s there, unlike my white Xbox One S - but this is to talk about the new, not the old.

The size of the cardboard box belies how heavy the Series X is, as it’s quite a hefty beast. You get the power cable, HDMI cable, and one controller, as well as a leaflet that tells you how to set up your new device; which basically amounts to “Download the Xbox app and follow the instructions”.

I won’t go into the technical stuff for two reasons. Firstly, there are plenty of places that have been going over that kind of thing since before the consoles came out. Secondly, I just don’t understand a lot of it - teraflop? Utter nonsense.
