Halo Reach 360 Console

I have always wanted the Halo Reach console ever since they announced it back in September of 2010! Ive had the old system since I can remember and had to replace it bout three or four times (RROD, Constant freezing, and unable to read disc problems). So I figured the new consoles are less prone to this. Ive had my Halo Reach 360 for about a month for full testability. I have to say im not dissapointed. Everything runs much quieter especially in you install the game on the 250gb hard drive, you'll barely hear it. The only thing I have to say that isnt up to par is the wifi adapter. Great if your just gaming online but horrible if you plan on downloading alot or even using netflix. If you can use a wired connection! The sounds are unique so its interesting everytime you manually turn on/off the system or manually open/close the disk tray. The small design fits in almost any spot on an entertainment center so its not at risk to be pushed off or accidentally kicked. All in all its a great 360 that I can tell from so far. Recommended for any Halo fan or fans of silver systems lol!

The Best Xbox Out So Far

Unlike my previous xbox's (3). This one does not overheat on multiplayer and tournament over the net. I have tried to abuse it while on all the halo games, gears of war, assasins creed and most of the drivers and first person shooters. It does not even get warm. It set up in about 12 min including the hard drive transfer info . ( you have to buy the drive transfer cable for about $20 ) The hdmi hookup is a huge improvement and again you have to buy a cable ) It is alot faster than any other xbox I have tried and does not freeze up no matter what you run on it. Only negatives are the little extras you have to buy to get full use out of it. Design is 10 out of 10 and you should get this before its no longer available. There is a reason its a LIMITED EDITION.

Xbox360 Halo Reach Bundle...SIMPLY AMAZING!!

Since I got this Xbox360S I haven't been able to put it down. Xbox has come a long way from the very first Xbox that I owned. The built-in Wifi has taken this console to greater heights. The game itself is like nothing I've ever played. Bungie, hands down has decapitated the market and now OWNS it. COD has nothing on the game that set the bar and standard for all FPS games regardless who the developer and manufacture is. I highl highly recommend this bundle to anyand all Gamers out there. If you miss this boat and don't jump on this offer and bundle, than you mine as well call it a life and commit suicide by running out of your jet pack off a cliff and outside a map area...haha

Great console with great games and great apps.

Great console with great games and great apps. You can rent movies, watch dvds, play tons of different games and even get on facebook and talk with your friends. With kinect you can do even more!

Its everything you would expect from a modern game console

Well, it's an Xbox, what is there to say?
I'm a PC gamer, so to me the Xbox is like the PC's awkward cousin that you only invite to parties because your mom makes you.
But, my friends want to play Halo with me. Ok, fine, I got an Xbox.
I got this holiday bundle that came with a hard drive and a couple games, turned out to be a pretty good idea. I gave the racing game to a friend that enjoys them, I switch between PC and Xbox for Skyrim, depending on where I happen to be at the time.
The controller takes a little getting used to if you've never used one before. A lot of people think it's the most comfortable controller out there, to me it was physically painful to use it for any length of time. But, the more you play with it, your hands get used to it. The controller is meaty and solid feeling, and I like the fact that it uses normal batteries and that they're quick to replace when it dies in the middle of battle.
The unit its self is sleek and stylish, and seems fairly well built. I took apart a broken one, and they're pretty packed full of stuff inside. The touch controls work exactly as you would expect them to, and it makes pretty little dinging sounds when you push a button on the front of the console.
The controller turns the console on; that's quite a nice feature.
It has this Windows 8-ish tile interface, which seems fine to me. My friends all hate it, but I thought it was pretty easy to navigate with the controller.
The on-device store is pretty nice. There's lots of apps and movies and music and such you can stream over the internet at pretty reasonable prices (if not free). The game library is quite large, and it also offers a section of independent games... which can be scary.
It seems like MS put a lot of AppleTV functionality into the Xbox, which is nice in a lot of ways. Streaming movies and music is very easy and kinda nice. There's also functions to stream things directly from your Windows computer.
The wireless works... it's not anything special.
And, a feature that no one seems to mention... I plugged a USB keyboard into it and I was able to type codes and such in without an issue, much faster than dealing with the controller-based on screen keyboard. It did not recognize a USB mouse, however.
The unit does get warm, be sure to not set anything on top of it.
So... game play... it's everything you would expect. You put a game in, most seem pretty stable and run equivalent to the PC variants on medium graphics. Pretty good considering the ancient video hardware the Xbox boasts.
The AV cable it comes with looks nice and fancy. However, it covers the HDMI port if you plug it in. A bummer if you need analog audio and HDMI video (like, if you're using a computer monitor). This was a very simple modification, just dismantle the housing around the Xbox end of the cable, and both connectors fit and work just fine.
All in all, no real complaints. It doesn't seem like anything special, it has a lot of media functionality, and a large game selection. The price point is low enough that a kid could spend a summer mowing lawns to buy one and a couple games.
I just wish Xbox Live was free. That's a real ripoff.
