Set up was a breeze yesterday for the Series X.
There's some heft to the console. I really like the build of it. I currently have it sitting on the floor just to the left of my tv stand.
Whisper quiet. Is it even on?
Great MS build quality as always.
Finally, the UI is not sluggish. Yes, I know they put out updates for the Xbox One that made it slightly better, but it still wasn't as smooth as the PS4 UI. It's so much better now.
Installs or downloads are excruciatingly slow. Was only able to install Jedi Fallen and NHL21. The rest of the time I was watching Ted Lasso on Apple TV Plus, which looks absolutely great. Oh, and it's a can't miss show for all your footie fans.
I have the "instant on" feature set, but my game downloads are not installing with the console off. Am I doing something wrong?
Games load very quickly. And since I was only able to play a couple games, my time has been limited. Jedi Fallen looks really nice, and NHL 21 is definitely long in the tooth. NHL 22 better look a lot better!
The UI is very familiar. It's good and bad in my opinion. I'm sure MS will make subtle changes going forward. That said, it's easy to navigate around because it's...comfortable.
If my games still haven't downloaded by the time I get home, it's back to watching Ted Lasso. Such a good show.
