    I am interested in the new Series S & X consoles, but I have experienced some issues with...


    I currently only own an ancient Xbox 360 Elite console, as my attempts to buy newer ones have resulted in many issues with the consoles I have bought.

    I first bought the Original black Xbox, with no issues it worked perfectly.

    Then two different Xbox 360's, the first was shortly after launch (returned the same day), then another a year later (returned three days later), both stopped working, both overheated after about 4hrs of play, the later failed completely after.

    Then I bought the Xbox 360 Elite (I still own) no issues at all, I can game on it all day and night with no problems.

    Next it was one of the first (shortly after launch) Xbox One consoles again it overheated and shut down, so it went back.

    My last attempt was an Xbox One S, I downloaded a game and was 4hrs into to Halo 5 and it overheated and shutdown, then crashed afterwards from then on, so it went back.

    I have always made sure the area I am in is well ventilated, and the consoles are well placed, with plenty of room around any vents.

    I know the Xbox 360's went through numerous chipset revisions during there production rollout period, and bought the 360 Elite after I researched the chipset in it, and found out it was an improvement over the previous versions in terms of quality.

    So again I find myself very much wanting to buy a new Xbox this time one of the Series ones, but am I going to face this same problem again, whereby I hit the 4hr gaming mark and they shutdown due to overheating, or even fail afterwards?

    Maybe like my old 360 Elite are there dependable Xbox One's that are still available to buy, or have people here gamed all day on the latest Series ones without problems?

    :)

    I am interested in the new Series S & X consoles, but I have experienced some issues with Xbox consoles in the past.

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I say beyond reasonable doubt that you won't experience the same issues with the Series X. The consoles have gone through numerous upgrades and patches and all initial bugs have been squashed. You'll be getting the best consoles in the market in my opinion.

    Hope this assuage your fears.

    I am interested in the new Series S & X consoles, but I have experienced some issues with Xbox consoles in the past.

    Yeah I agree with you that it isn't right, it's possible I have the worst luck ever when it comes to electronics.

    I know I placed that last one the Xbox One S vertically next to the TV cabinet, it was in shade and there was about 4-5 inches of clearance on that side, the rest faced in to the room, I remember it was summer and the room temp was around 28 Celsius. It was on for around 6 to 6 1/2 hours in total (as there were updates and a game download before I played on it). The overheat seemed to be responsible for killing it, as it crashed allot after it had cooled back down to room temp.

    I think I'll risk it and buy a Series X when they become available again (as only the Series S models are showing as stocked right now).

    How can you say "beyond reasonable doubt you wont experience the same issues"?

    No one can know that.With the amount of consoles made there'll always be some that slip through with a fault,it's the same for any mass produced electronic product.

    To have that many different consoles all have overheating issues can't be a coincidence.

    I'd have a good look at where your consoles are placed,ventilation etc.To have that many different model xbox's overheat isn't right.

    Hi Zion, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    The Xbox Series X|S versions of any game are not compatible with Xbox One consoles. Some of the Xbox One versions of the games are compatible with any Xbox Series X|S console through the backward compatibility feature you may have seen the said information online.

    X Box series X not next gen?

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    As long as you have the Xbox Series X|S version of the game you should have a next-gen performance for the game.

    The Xbox Series X is a next-gen console. The issue can be with the game or the console, or we just need to perform troubleshooting steps.

    I would like to clarify, what is the exact issue that you're experiencing with the game? Also, have you tried other Xbox Series X|S game versions to compare the games?
