Please buy a PS5 like I did last year I got an Xbox series s for christmas in 2022, and I loved it. Until, in February 2023, I was on Rec Room. I recorded a good video. That video then got uploaded to Xbox Network. I loved that video that I recorded, because it was silly. And then later that night, I looked for that video and it appears to be gone, even though I uploaded it to the cloud. Yes, I deleted the video from my console but the video would still be there in the cloud even if it was deleted from the Xbox. It doesn't make sense. How can you recover a video that was deleted by Xbox from both the console and the Xbox network? Also, who uses batteries on a controller in 2024? This isn't some children's toy! So on April 4 2023 I picked up the PS5 from walmart and I loved it and the games. So, it was time for me to start console wars again (but in a destructive way). On May 1 2023, I intentionally dropped the Xbox from upstairs to the living room floor (that's what it gets for deleting a precious video without MY consent) and smashed it. I then threw it in the garbage where it goes. I had an Xbox One S and it also crapped out in July 2022. Buy PS4 or PS5 instead. I may not like the PS Plus subscription but at least PLAYSTATION doesn't delete any of my videos without my permission! One more thing, Xbox makes you PAY to change your gamertag! PS doesn't do that, you just need to sign in to your PSN account! Don't buy an Xbox. Notes: 1: The date I saved the video on the Xbox was sometime in February 2023. Due to trustpilot's rule that the date of experience has to be within the last year, when I updated this review today, I just put 04/10. 2: The video was appropriate. Regret #1: I should've just kept the Xbox because I wanted to play the older Xbox 360 throwbacks Regret #2: I had some precious games on there (I could just buy that on PS5)

Non Existent Customer Support I tried to contact Xbox regarding an issue where the controller was not working correctly - it isn't pausing DVDs. I already looked through their help resources and went through their troubleshooting guides. They straight up refused to let me contact anyone. "Phone calls and chats aren't available for this issue." How the heck is it legal for them to simply refuse to provide customer support for their products?

3 phone calls, 3 hours and still they have no idea 3 phone calls, over an hour on hold and cut off twice when the advisor can't figure out the issue. Almost 3 hrs on the phone in total. Console needed a software update and this basically destroyed my perfectly working xbox. Advisors are hit and miss either knowledge, some genuinely try and others are clueless. Buy a different console and save yourself the headaches.

Where did my refund go? I have paid for a game that I cannot possibly play, so I requested a refund right afterwards. They approved my refund request in a few days, but even after 5 weeks I still haven’t received the refund yet. I cannot play the game anymore even if I wanted to and my money is still not paid back. I have tried to find customer support but no, apparently it practically doesn’t exist: the email is non-existent and no one ever answers if I try to call their service phone number. I am extremely disappointed and very mad about the situation.

Bought a used XBOX series X in November… Bought a used XBOX series X in November which came with 2 controllers, & active warranty. I registered the console onto my Microsoft account right away. One of the controller had issue with a button. I then filed a claim online, then was requested to ship it with paid postage. 2 weeks after, I had the replacement arrived. A month later, the 2nd controller had the same issue, & I went through all the claim process, & had it replaced as well. What a deal!!!! Great work Microsoft!!!
