Bought this exactly 10 years ago, it still is running to this day. Compared the Series X this one was built much better than the new ones.

Bon achat

Purchased this Xbox One 500GB bundle over a year ago, it's still running just as smooth as I first turned it on.I was contemplating the switch from Xbox 360 to Xbox One but I wasn't sure it would be worth it, but boy was it worth it ! I can't begin to explain how much of an improvement the Xbox One gen is over Xbox 360 !Only downside I have with this is how small 500GB really is. I didn't think I'd be lacking GB when I bought mine, considering I played on over 50 games my 32gb Xbox 360.But obviously, the games nowadays require much more space and you must download a lot of extra content.If you don't think you'll need over 7-8 games, 500Gb will do, otherwise, you'll end up like me and buy an external hard drive!

So I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself an Xbox One in the form of the Quantum Break bundle. Quantum Break tipped the scales—it filled my need for enough Xbone exclusives to justify my purchase, plus I love Remedy’s games. I really dig the white color, as opposed to stodgy old black. I was also keenly interested in the upcoming OTA TV DVR capabilities announced for a future system update. This system joins the Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, and Wii U already in our gaming room.As I waited for the bundle to arrive, the other exclusives I purchased were Sunset Overdrive from Insomniac, the Gears of War collection (played already on the 360, but I love me some Gears and I couldn’t wait to experience the remaster), and the Halo Master Chief collection. Gears and Sunset were the on-disc versions.Setup was straightforward. Anticipating a system update and knowing that Quantum Break was a very large digital download, I hooked the system up to a wired internet connection. The system update downloaded and completed quickly, my existing account was recognized, backwards-compatible 360 games appeared in my digital library, and the store accepted the Quantum Break game code. I took a break to let QB download and went off to the evening news and dinner.I returned an hour later to find that Quantum Break had downloaded to 93% or so of its 40 GB-plus size, which was impressive. Then I inserted the Sunset Overdrive disc in the drive. As expected, and as with the PS4, the game began to install itself on the internal drive and to download the game updates it identified. Great, I thought, and the Xbone informed me after five minutes or so that the game was Ready to Start. I started the game with anticipation only to be stopped at the splash screen with the message “Installing…” flashing in the upper-left corner. Apparently “Not Ready to Start” would have been a better message on the Xbone Home screen. Curious, I looked at the overall installation progress for the game and it was proceeding at a snail’s crawl to the tune of a couple percentage points every five minutes. “How could this be?,” I thought to myself, and proceeded to do some Googling.Turns out that the Xbone, unlike the PS4 or even the Xbox 360, merges the from-disc install process with the update download process WHILE INSTALLING THE GAME TO DISC. This results in a simply unfathomable time penalty. On Xbox forums users were reporting install times of over 24 hours and more. The workaround? Disconnect your Xbone from the network before inserting a new disc in the drive, making sure you delete any partial install data first. Then, and only then, will the game install from disc only and provide a glimmer of hope to those who wish to actually play a new disc-based game within an hour or less. Once the game has fully installed, you can play the game, minus any patches or online capabilities, to your heart’s content. The second you reconnect to the network, the game will begin installing patches that MUST COMPLETE before you can play the game again. In short, this is half-assed and utterly unacceptable. This is a giant leap backwards for console gaming in general and the consumer experience in particular.Even with the network turned off, the disc-based install is unreasonably long. Subjectively, I’d say 3 times longer than a PS4 disc install. This is baffling considering how well the 360 performed install and update tasks. The 360 amazed me with its superiority over the PS3 when it came to speed and ease-of-use when it came to these tasks. What was Microsoft thinking with dropping the ball on this critical function on the Xbone?Beyond the disc installation epic fail, which is pretty much responsible for my three-star rating, there are a couple other nitpicks in that the controller time-out cannot be specified and there is no software-based disc eject functionality. Both these functions were available on the Xbox 360 and well as competing Playstation consoles. Finally, it’s baffling to me how Sony can create the compact PS4 with a built-in power supply while Microsoft produces a next-gen system that’s roughly 150% larger and still requires an external power brick.What does the Xbone do well to merit even three stars? I have to return somewhat to my original reasons for purchase, and add a few observations of what impressed me as I gained more hands-on experience.1. Exclusive games from great studios. (I didn’t even mention Microsoft’s exclusive window on the excellent Rise Of the Tomb Raider, which we purchased and played earlier on the 360.)2. Existing OTA TV capability and upcoming OTA TV DVR capability.3. The white color scheme on the console and the controller is gorgeous.4. The controller feels great in the hand; the weight is just right and the controls feel natural and responsive.5. Quantum Break and Sunset Overdrive both appear to be excellent based on the short time I’ve spent with them.6. Backwards compatibility for some 360 games, with a list that continues to grow.7. Expandable storage via external USB drives.8. Completely silent except when installing games from disc and even then not bad.9. Great price; found it for less than three Benjamins, no tax and free shipping.I look forward to revisiting this review as the OTA DVR capability is released and and Microsoft improves existing features and adds new ones. Microsoft needs to address the disc installation issue. The workaround required is unacceptable and purchasers should not have to do Internet research to learn of it. The Xbone is not a consumer-ready or gamer-friendly device due to this issue. I was disappointed to find that the hubris that accompanied Microsoft’s Xbone announcement and launch, although mitigated somewhat when they removed the always-on requirement, game resale and trade blocking, and mandatory Kinect, is still evident 2 ½ years later in the form of at least one fundamental flaw in the system.

crappy controller but other wise works well. has automatic shut off

really nice xbox! came with the free game and even came with a game already in the xbox! lol i have no idea how i got an extra game for free here but my guess is someone left their game inside the xbox one when they returned it to the store so i got a free copy of a brand new xbox one game

Xbox One-I purchased this xbox one for my household. We have always been a family that enjoys new gaming devices and have owned an xbox 360 for many years and decided it was time for an upgrade. The overall design of the xbox one is sleek and beautiful. The controller has a similar design to the 360 but seems lighter and easier to use. The setup of the xbox one is very interesting in that you can have multiple profiles that are much easier to access compared to the setup on the 360. Generally one flick to the left and you can instantly access them. Games and apps at times take a bit to load on a varying basis, depending on how many are active in the background. Which brings to the point the ability to keep your various activities open. You may be playing a game at one point and you have become stuck . You can pause the game, access the home button to the main screen, and then pull up either Youtube or Edge and look up hints and/or tips. Once you have found the required info, you can automatically access the game from the EXACT same point in which you left it. Good variety of games are present both on the marketplace store and in different retailers. Almost all online gaming though requires a Xbox Live Gold membership. This does not limit your other app experiences or your offline play such as download music and movies, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Streaming, etc. Overall an excellent buy with little to no problems present.

I love it. It has backwards compatibility for a lot of my xbox 360 games, has great exclusives, works extremely well as a media centre for Netflix or home streaming, and runs very quiet compared to the first generation xbox 360. The controllers last an extremely long time (even with dollar store rechargeable batteries) and the audio quality from the controllers themselves is superb if you want to use headphones instead of speakers to keep it quiet. The controllers themselves are awesome. The Xbox 360 controller was the best controller I ever used from any console in the last 30 years and I didn't think there was too much room for improvement but they managed to improve every aspect of the controller (ergonomics, sticks, bumpers, buttons, the D-pad) and I am extremely pleased with that. Although it wasn't a huge deal when I made the purchase be aware that this SKU doesn't come with a chat headset for online.

Owned a PS4 since its launch, and this initially just feels better to me.First thing I did was got EA Access for five bucks for a month, basically the world's best game renting service. Playing through Inquisition and Hardline now, the only negative is that there is too much to play in too little time.The one negative is it not coming with the dinky headset. I have a nice set of Trittons, but they are too bulky and wired to just leave laying around. The console would be six stars out of five if they would have included that.The controller is absolutely heavenly, and I am going to enjoy not having to worry about it being charged EVERY SINGLE DAY!The Gears remaster is pretty and holds up surprisingly well. I simply have so much to play right now that I have to put it on the backburner. 360 BC, only paying five bucks besides buying the console and having several games to play is heavenly for people with plenty of time for gaming on a budget.I have had one dashboard freeze and had to unplug the console. The snap features and really quick UI more than make up for it, though. If I could choose one thing about the console I like the best it has to be just how fast the OS is. I would like to know how to upload to Youtube, though.

We love it, It comes with our favorite game Gears of War and the beta for GOW 4. We had not purchased the XB1 until now because we were content with our games on the xbox 360, (we have over 50 games so far). We were not going to consider purchasing the XB1 if microsoft was not going to do backwards compatibilty on the XB1. But now that they have confirmed backwards compatibilty, it was a done deal. This was the perfect bundle for us. We purchased an additional controller and the system has been great. The upgraded version of GOW included in this bundle is just beautiful... If you have not purchased an xbox one yet and are considering purchasing, and you are a fan of GOW, I would recommend this bundle.I do wish however the console would have came with some kind of GOW decals or something or maybe a red and black controller. That would have been nice...
