Xbox Series X for Skyrim, Fallout 4, and More!
Here it is the Skyrim Xbox Series X Unboxing
Caption of the Xbox Series X Skyrim
So somehow i got lucky and was able to
pre-order this Xbox series x from best buy for
in-store pickup back in September
and this morning at 6 00 a.m. i got up
and went to best buy and picked it up
and it's now
what 7 a.m. and we're going to do this
unboxing so I’m hyped up on adrenaline
and a little bit of soda I’m a little
ashamed to admit that i was drinking Dr
pepper at six a.m. in the morning
I’m actually giving away either an Xbox
series x or a ps5 digital edition
and I’d love to know in the comment
section down below which one of those
consoles you would prefer so to make sure
to let me know
and make sure to subscribe because that
giveaway is happening in the next couple
days but let's just jump right into this
unboxing and you know what I’m going to be
honest with you guys I’m trying to do
this a little bit quickly so that
i can actually play this console i
forgot my order number was on the side
my bad but first impressions I’ve got to
say the packaging of this box is
sick i love the uh the top of the
console right there on the front
and I’ve also been trying to avoid
watching unboxings of this console just
so i wouldn't
ruin the experience for myself so you
guys are getting a genuine first look
at the inside of this box at least from
my point of view and I’m really excited
to see it this is a console that
I’m really looking forward to and i
think for the first time ever I’m
equally excited for both the Xbox
release and the PlayStation release it
sort of alternates every console
generation for the 360. i was definitely
more excited for that when that dropped
and then the ps4 i think that was
the one i was into but
for this console generation with the
Xbox series x and the ps5
i want them both and i want them both
equally and I’m not just saying that
because i want a brand sponsorship from
Microsoft
what's up but uh no i really am excited
about this console and i did pick up
some games when i was at best buy so
like i said on the front of the box you
got this nice sort of top-down shot of
the Xbox series x with your ventilation
holes with some nice
hits of green which I’m really into
you've got the Xbox logo
4k 120 fps which is crazy
you've got one terabyte SSD and of
course a series x logo
I’m not in love with that logo i feel
like they could have done something
cleaner and i wish the naming system was
a little bit better
my own personal opinion but that is what
it is it's a little confusing when you
look at the 1s and the series x and the
1s
whole big thing but people i think
understand it so it's fine
on the uh the right side of the box
you've got a picture of the console and
the controller
i did actually pre-order a blue
controller as well so i should be
getting that in the mail very soon
and then on the left side of the box
you've got some really cool information
about the console like
4k gaming at 120 fps 8k HDR i just got a
Sony a8h oled tv which I’m going to be
showing you guys in the full review of
this console xbox series x will play Skyrim
and this will definitely look good on
that tv however that tv does not have
HDMI 2.1 so that's a little bit of a
bummer but it is what it is
you've got your Xbox velocity
architecture
interesting one terabyte solid state
drive variable refresh rate
4k Blu-ray player excited about that i
love watching blu-rays i have two of
them but I’ve watched them a lot
and then on the back of the box we've
got the master chief in a game halo
infinite which will not be releasing
until next year apparently it was
supposed to be a launch game when it was
first announced but
that obviously didn't happen would have
loved to have had that but at least i
have the master chief collection so i
can play halo 3 my favorite game of all
time so
I’m excited to try that game out on this
and i think the master chief collection
is going to have a patch or something
that will optimize it for the series x
so, I’m very very excited about that but
i think without further ado why don't we
pull these little tabs right here and
jump right into it okay so it looks like
there are these two tabs on the back of
the box that i have to pull
so, let's do this first one there we go
now I’m not 100 sure which side the box
opens up on but
i think we're going to go with this side so
oh, there's another tab down there's two
more tabs down here i didn't even notice
that
[Music]
so i think this is moment of truth time
i think we're about to do this I’m
really excited I’ve been waiting
years for this console
i cannot wait so let's pop the top and
see what we've got
here we go
on this packaging is sick yeah
okay so it looks like we've got the
console right here it says power your
dreams
it's completely covered up by some sort
of a plastic wrap
and then it looks like we've also got
some sort of smaller box here on the top
let's pull this out put this off to the
side this is probably
instructions power cables maybe a
controller
it's everything it's all it's all that
good stuff okay so first off, we've got
the
HDMI 2.1 cable the ultra-high definition
cable
you definitely want to use this when you
plug in your console don't use your own
HDMI cable because this one is actually
HDMI 2.1 capable
and uh most HDMI cables are not so you
definitely want to use this
you've also got the power cable and i
would assume that the brick is inside
the console
so, you've got that as well and then your
instruction manuals your quick start
guide product regulatory guide right
there not even going to open that
and then the controller which i have
never seen an Xbox series x controller
in person i don't think most people have
yet but this is it here we go
oh, look at that it looks
let's be honest very similar to the Xbox
one x or Xbox one controller
but hey you know what it's still cool
and new
so, there's that i actually do have a ps5
controller which i was going to do an
unboxing for but
i honestly ran out of time while i was
moving so i ended up not doing that it
looks like at the bottom of the box
we've also got some sort of uh
instruction manual on how to set up the
controller how to connect the console on
the back
we'll take a look at this a little bit
later let me quickly throw in the
batteries into the controller
I’m kind of disappointed they're still
using uh double a battery
in these controllers but it is what it
is i guess it's easy to place them if
you need to
i think you can probably buy a battery
replacement
kit possibly but I’m not 100 sure I’m
sure, you will be able to in the future
I’m just not sure if it's available now
WIth Discussion here on the Xbox Series X Skyrim Reddit
oops oh man did i just break it as soon
as i got it I’d be a bummer
there we go we're well we power on the
controller there we go
it's not that different from the Xbox
one controller it does have a slightly
different Xbox button in the middle
it's flat it doesn't have that sort of
curvature to it the d-pad is slightly
different as well and the buttons on the
back
are not gloss anymore they're matte with
some texture so it's a little bit easier
to click them
which i appreciate there's also like a
pretty intense texture on the back one
that you can really feel in hand and i
really like it because it means it's
going to give me more grip
which is obviously pretty important
you've got a new button you've got a
share button right there
but that honestly is about it when it
comes to this controller
weight wise pretty much the same button
layouts exactly the same
it's a lot more the same except this
time around you have a sub on the back
that's
pretty much the only real difference put
everything off to the side and let's get
into the console itself
i have yet to see this in person I’ve
never seen this console before
so I’m really stoked on it what's
the best way to pull it out this way
maybe
there we go let's try not drop the box
or the console
there we go better be safe than sorry so
here is the console
it's heavy this is crazy heavy i think
this is the bottom because i can feel
the sort of uh
rubber foot on it you've got power your
dreams
wrapped around the center so i guess i
can pull it off in the bottom there we
go
I’m about to power my dreams right now
shout out Xbox
this is nuts look at this
i love the top of it that's so sick i
didn't think it was going to be this heavy
there we go the Xbox series x looking
really nice and fresh in this matte
black finish
it is a beefy it is a monolith i think
it's a good word to describe this
console you can turn it on inside like
this which i think is how I’m going to
actually have it in my tv console
because i don't have anywhere to stand
it up right but um i think it looks
better upright
so this is it on the side if you happen
to have it on the side
you've got the uh the rubber foot on the
bottom which is circular which i
actually thought would spin so you could
kind of turn it
if you wanted to but that's not the case
it just kind of stays still
it really does stick to the ground
though with this rubber foot like it's
not going to move anywhere which is
great it's also a pretty heavy console
too so you're not really going to knock
this over anytime soon so on the front
of the console you've got the power
button which is also the Xbox button
right there
you've got the disk eject button and of
course the disk tray or the disk slot
right there
and then you've got what I’m assuming is
the controller pair button right there
and then a usb
slot on the back you've got two
different HDMI ports you've got this
area for your expandable storage right
there which
is kind of expensive let's being honest and
its proprietary you have to use
Xbox proprietary expansion packs which
are kind of frustrating you've got your
ethernet port right there you've got
your HDMI out you've got your power out
and then you've also got this locking
port right here if you want and then on
the top of the console my absolute
favorite part of the console i almost
just hit me in the face with that
you've got the ventilation holes which
have this really nice sort of curvature
to them
and what i really like about them is
that they're actually painted green on
the inside so it looks like
the console is always on which is kind
of crazy at first when i saw this
console online i thought that was
actually a led coming out from the
inside of the console but nope
just paint still looks good though there
we go the next generation
right here looking really good
and a lot like a refrigerator
but I’m into it I’m into it for sure so
i wanted to compare this console size
wise to the outgoing Xbox one’s which is the only Xbox i have at the
moment it's right here
there it is next to the Xbox one’s it's
about the same height it's ever so
slightly taller
but it's also way thicker but at the
same time
way thinner because it's more of a
cube or i guess an extruded rectangle
rather than a
dvr sized box it's interesting that
while the overall design of the console
changed
pretty dramatically the design language
hasn't changed it seriously looks like
they zoomed in on these little holes on
the side of the 1s
to get the 1x which you know I’m not
even mad at i think it's a good look and
even though this console is heavy
it's large it's a chunk i still love it
i think it's a good-looking console and
especially underneath
a uh tv stand you're not even going to
really see it it's so simple and
understated but actually while i have
these two consoles here what I’m going to
do is grab my ps4 pro
and give you guys a quick size
comparison of that as well
and once my ps5 comes in I’ll do an even
better size comparison with all four of
the consoles but
that console is insanely huge so that'll
be really fun to see
but it's a pretty average sized console
at least from the front it's definitely
wider it's definitely more
rectangular than these other consoles
but it's a good-looking console
and i like the aesthetic i also love the
fact that it has a foot none of these
other consoles really have feet they
have some rubber pads on the bottom but
that's about it which i guess this has
two on the side if you want to lay it
sideways like i think i will actually
lay it
um oops ugh i didn't its plastic it's
fine you know while I’m at it why don't
i give you guys a comparison of the
controllers too so here are the brand new
Xbox series x controller or Xbox series
controller
next to the Xbox one controller they're
very similar obviously the color is
different but
it's a pretty similar controller like i
said there's a little bit of a
difference near the top of the
controller
the d-pad is slightly different the
analog sticks are also
slightly different the back of the
controller also you change from glossy
buttons to more matte buttons with
textures and i feel like weight wise
they're almost identical like i really
can't feel a difference at all you know
what's crazy i actually think i prefer
the Xbox one controller i just like that
little extra bit of
surfacing right there i feel like that's
a nice touch this one feels a little bit
too plain for me which i realized i just
said i love the minimal aesthetic so
it's kind of weird that I’m saying this
but
it adds just that much more interest to
the front of the controller and while
you're not going to be looking at the
front of the controller while you're
playing
i don't know it's kind of a nice touch
and i definitely miss it actually while
we're here i have the ps5 controller as
well so we can compare the ps5
controller
to the Xbox series x controller it's
funny the ps5 controller actually feels
heavier
and slightly larger than the Xbox series
x controller the edges also feel sharper
too which is funny because
i always thought of the Xbox
controller's edges being sharper but
i don't know i think the overall feel of
the ps5 controller is beefier in the
hand more
it fills your hand up more i realize
we're getting into kind of a
weird territory but um you know what I’m
saying technologically i think the ps5
controller is more advanced than the
Xbox series x controller i feel like
they
pretty much kept the same controller and
just changed some small things about it
the ps5 has a really cool adaptive
triggers i like that they completely
redesigned the controller i feel like
that was a nice touch
there are some things about this
controller that i don't love which we'll
get into more when we actually have the
ps5 in hand i don't know i think this
controller is more exciting i also love
the fact that it has a built-in battery
so you don't have to keep putting in new
double a's and you can just charge it
with the usbc on the back but
it is what it is I’m super excited about
the Xbox series x controller
i love that i don't really have to learn
a new controller not that i would have
to do that with ps5 but there's really
not too much extra going on with this
controller which i think is
one of those situations where if it
isn’t broke don't fix it and to be
honest they didn't really, they just made
very
small adjustments so at this point i
think I’m going to plug in the Xbox
series x
get it all updated get it already to
go because we know that there's going to
be updates there always are on the first
day
I’m excited to check out the quick
restart feature between games if you
guys know what I’m talking about where
you can play one game
turn it off and get into another game
within a couple seconds super stoked on
that I’m excited about this console make
sure to stay tuned because the full
review of this console will be coming in
the next couple days but guys don't
forget i will be giving away either an
Xbox series x or a ps5 digital edition

4k Blu-ray player excited about that i
love watching blu-rays i have two of

and then on the back of the box we've
got the master chief in a game halo

Xbox series x controller or Xbox series
controller
next to the Xbox one controller they're
very similar obviously the color is
different but
it's a pretty similar controller like i
said there's a little bit of a
difference near the top of the
controller
the d-pad is slightly different the
analog sticks are also
slightly different the back of the
controller also you change from glossy
buttons to more matte buttons with
textures and i feel like weight wise
they're almost identical like i really
can't feel a difference at all you know
what's crazy i actually think i prefer
the Xbox one controller i just like that
little extra bit of
surfacing right there i feel like that's
a nice touch this one feels a little bit
too plain for me which i realized i just
said i love the minimal aesthetic so
it's kind of weird that I’m saying this
but
it adds just that much more interest to
the front of the controller and while
you're not going to be looking at the
front of the controller while you're
playing
i don't know it's kind of a nice touch
and i definitely miss it actually while
we're here i have the ps5 controller as
well so we can compare the ps5
controller
to the Xbox series x controller it's
funny the ps5 controller actually feels
heavier
and slightly larger than the Xbox series
x controller the edges also feel sharper
too which is funny because
i always thought of the Xbox
controller's edges being sharper but
i don't know i think the overall feel of
the ps5 controller is beefier in the
hand more
it fills your hand up more i realize
we're getting into kind of a
weird territory but um you know what I’m
saying technologically i think the ps5
controller is more advanced than the
Xbox series x controller i feel like
they
pretty much kept the same controller and
just changed some small things about it
the ps5 has a really cool adaptive
triggers i like that they completely
redesigned the controller i feel like
that was a nice touch
there are some things about this
controller that i don't love which we'll
get into more when we actually have the
ps5 in hand i don't know i think this
controller is more exciting i also love
the fact that it has a built-in battery
so you don't have to keep putting in new
double a's and you can just charge it
with the usbc on the back but
it is what it is I’m super excited about
the Xbox series x controller
i love that i don't really have to learn
a new controller not that i would have
to do that with ps5 but there's really
not too much extra going on with this
controller which i think is
one of those situations where if it
isn’t broke don't fix it and to be
honest they didn't really, they just made
very
small adjustments so at this point i
think I’m going to plug in the Xbox
series x
get it all updated get it already to
go because we know that there's going to
be updates there always are on the first
day
I’m excited to check out the quick
restart feature between games if you

sure to stay tuned because the full
review of this console will be coming in
