Xb1 System 500Gb Battlefield

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.

Absolutely love it! This is my second console. I bought one for my daughter and liked it so much I bought one for myself. We are both amateur gamers. I would mention though that you must have internet to use this console!

I love it I love it I love it its very good I love it

Love the game, didnt Know I needed a computer to set it up but the graphics are great! Ty

Awesome console. I already have a PS4 and I love it. So, why did I buy an Xbox One S? Because a good amount of friends of mine own an Xbone rather than a PS4. Anyways, theres not much else to say. Its a good console and it runs pretty smoothly. I still prefer the PS4 by a bit but, I can totally see how some people might prefer this one. I recommend buying this console for anyone that has lots of friends on Xbox Live or simply wants to experience]the exclusives on Xbox. If you can only afford one or you simply only want one console, I would go for the one that has the most exciting exclusives to you. Overall, the Xbox One and PS4 are pretty much neck to neck at this time. I will say this about the Xbox One thats great though; it has pretty decent backward compatibility and much better free games given to you each month.

Xbox is the smallest console and very essential, the large catalog makes this console very fun for the whole family.

game on

This is a great system once it is up and running. It took approximately 2 hours to update the system, and took another 1.25 hrs to install Mortal Kombat XL. Im on satellite and it burnt through my data cap in no time. 100+ GB gone just like that. Not an issue since im getting fixed wireless in a couple of days. No more data cap. Anyways, this is just like gaming from a PC. Install the game,update, and update again. If you dont mind waiting and have decent broadband, then get it. If you want ready to play and have limited internet like me, then get the PS4. Other than that it does have great graphics.

I do not have bad and I like the price. The game is also great It was a good purchase

Love it . great price and amazon did amazing at helping when an issue did come up. only bad thing I will say is the controllers goes through batteries way to quick.
