Xb1 System 500Gb Battlefield

A big upgrade from my xbox 360. Picture quality is out of this world and the headphone jack on the controller works great for talking to other people in battlefield and the game is aweome. Bought it because live on college campus and theres nothing to do some days.

The xbox itself and the controller are quite nice. My problem is with the software and Microsofts approach to pain-free gaming. The xbox one feels like a PC with a controller, not a console. I come from N64/Wii, so am a bit behind, but this is not what I expect from a console. My biggest issue was trying to buy a game on the store. I tried to be smart and add a payment method for my account via my PC so I dont have to use the onscreen keyboard. I then went back to the xbox to make a purchase. It repeatedly told me that I had no payment methods on profile, even though I could clearly see the one Id added if I logged into the xbox store on my PC. It took a long frustrated series of random steps before I convinced it to work by somehow magically completing a series of steps it wanted via the xbox. Ridiculous that the store is bugged this way, and even sillier that to buy a game, it links me out to the browser. With Steam on the PC, buying a game is conducted via an in-app browser, but the card-entering/billing experience in native to the app and is super easy. Im keeping the xbox because I have some family members I can play games with on it, but if I was picking up an easy gaming system, it looks like the PS4 has an edge. If you like the PC-like nature of the xbox, just build/buy a quality gaming system. --- UPDATE: I am lowering my rating further. Recent issues: * I changed my gamer tag. This broke my Xbox 360 game, Red Dead. After goofing around, I found out I had to re download my profile. Wasted time. * I purchased GTA V. Let it download overnight. Went to launch it and got a dreaded Something got wrong. Nothing fixed it. Checked Xbox help and confirmed there is some kind of service outage. Cant launch a single player game due to a cloud outage. A console should be a pain-free feed your credit card to me and Ill feed you pain-free gaming. Im running into ridiculous problems likely caused by over-reliance on a Windows OS and a lack of attention to the give MS my money pipeline (why do I need to go into a browser to setup payment profiles???). This is a total step backwards from PC gaming. Ill stop buying games and pick up a PS4 if I want to get in to this again. Only keeping it because my father has one and its a good way to connect with each other.

I received this product in the mail, and within 2 weeks of plugging it in, the console started to have multiple problems. Games would no longer open, but would take me back to the home screen after sitting on the splash screen for a while. The system startup screen because filled with glitches. At first, the problems started small with games occasionally exiting randomly or freezing with a grinding noise playing from my speakers, but they gradually grew worse as time went on.

It was a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it. It was the best gift I could have gotten him.

Ordered during Cyber Monday due to the attractive deal and to replace my launch day Xbox One; big mistake that has turned into a nightmare. The first Xbox One S I received had an annoyingly loud fan that rivaled that of the original Xbox 360 and Fat-PS3 with the addition of making whirling/clicking sounds and the unit came with scratches on the top. Thus I returned the first Xbox One S to Amazon and received a second Xbox One S that had a less loud fan and lacked the whirling/clicking sounds. Five days later, while playing Final Fantasy XV, the system shut off mid-game. Tried the internal power reset option as described on Xboxs website to no avail since the system kept turning off after pressing the power button; I did manage to retrieve my disc out of the system, luckily. Now sending the unit to Microsoft for repair; could be awhile to get back up and running. While the updated system is very pleasing to the eyes compared to the launch day Xbox One these two incidents have left me with the added thought of Why did I bother? when Scorpio launches next year. I am hopeful that once the repairs are done I can put this awful saga in the past and use this as a lesson to be happy with what I already have.

Love my Xbox. Go for a 1TB though, 500GB goes fast.

Kids love these Battle / Kill games :( Wish they had some friendly games for the boys to play.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves it as usually. He has the 1st one. So this one is right up there.

It said not used or pre owned. When I got it the corners were broken and it didnt come in an Xbox packaging.

Our son-in-law bought this for our daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. This replaced her 360.
