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.

I liked it because theres good games and the WiFi is wireless and I like that I could talk to my friends on games and text my friends.

Arrived undamaged, no issues, Ive been playing on it for a few months now

Came on time, works great, only thing i disliked was there was nothing in the box to keep the Xbox packaging from sliding around, although it was protected by the Xbox box itself there was no foam or bubble rap in the bigger box

Great Item A +

Got my Xbox in the mail today and decided to play a little before work. I had two hours so I thought that would be enough time. WRONG. Its been updating and installing things for two hours. This doesnt mean its a bad product but christ a little warning would have been nice.

Bought this as a gift for my fiance and he loves it!

Love it. Had get more storage for it but terabytes external hard drives are cheap now. The EA game pass free trial didn’t work until a few days before it expired and their customer service was terrible, so didn’t get to play any games much there. I really like the backwards compatibility with the Xbox 360 games which I got with a prior account.

The player was good but it was a bundle. the three month Xbox Gold card that came with the console was a classic microsoft/xbox ripoff. it did not work. go figure. I would never get an on line redeemable item from xbox EVER AGAIN.

My kids loved the x box one!!
