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.Read full review
Works excellent no scratches or anything broken was all worth it!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Quiet. Wifi works great. The extra usb ports come in handy(using a kinect, wired controller, headset). Runs smoothly.
Bought this 250 GB Xbox 360 bundle to replace my 4 GB Xbox 360. Let me say it was a great investment. Now I can store more games and updates without having to buy memory sticks. Also the price was just right. I would defiantly recommend this product.
