Microsoft - Xbox One S 1TB Minecraft Creators Bundle with 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray - White

As a PC gamer, I was ultimately severely disappointed with the overall experience that Xbox offered. It's a massive step down in every respect. My wife and I wanted to try something different as we've been PC gamers for the past 8 years or so. We tried both Xbox and PS4, the experience was pretty much the same... Bad. The Xbox is extremely slow taking minutes at times to load games. To compare, FFXV would take approximately 1:11 to load on Xbox, while it took about 13 seconds to load on our high end custom gaming PC. There were several instances where we would lose wifi connection and would be forced to restart the console just to make it reconnect. Not sure what the issue was, but doing this took seven minutes for Xbox to return to the dashboard. Speaking of which, the dashboard was far too cluttered with literally nothing but advertisements for other games, and just cluttered overall. Too many button presses to get to one game, too many button presses to start actually playing a game. You have to confirm the controller you're using, Xbox has to sync to the cloud Everytime you play a game, the list goes on. The time from turning on Xbox to being in a game and ready to play was upwards of three minutes. In comparison, it's about 30 seconds on a PC, even less depending on the game. We also had three instances in the first week where the console would freeze and become unresponsive. I've never had a custom PC freeze on me. Updates for Xbox are frequent and take a long time. Worst of all, however, is the available content (games) is just lacking. Theres a lack of exclusives, quality exclusives and really just a lack of games overall. There's no cable for the controller, which means you have to spend extra money on either batteries or rechargable options. Also, the graphical fidelity was lacking to say the least. Where they reduced graphical settings was quite obvious, and sadly there were still frame drops in nearly every game we played. I also think it's important to mention the almost required Xbox live subscription. While it's not required, one would be foolish not to have one. That said, it feels like robbery. I couldnt imagine the outrage there would be if Steam decided to start charging people $5 a month. To sum it up. Bad performance, extremely slow, lack of games, and technical problems. It's just simpley not worth buying. Even if I got one for free, I'd sell it. It's not worth anything to me, and if you played on a decent PC, you'd feel the same way. Bottom line, spend a little extra and get a nice gaming PC, you won't be disappointed.

This is the best budget Xbox console that you can buy. The Minecraft Builders Bundle contains a white slim console that was newly manufactured in Oct or Nov 2018, can't remember which one but it's new and oh so quiet, virtually silent, and there is no annoying external power brick and it comes with a power cable, HDMI cable, 4 codes for the Minecraft bundle and a code for a 1 month game pass trial and 14 days of Xbox Live Gold. This bundle contains an updated white controller that uses 2 AA batteries or micro USB (I have my controller powered by my phone charger lol), has a textured grip, a headphone port for chat or for just listening to audio, which is convenient for late night gaming, movies or music, just lower your TV to silent and use some headphones, a longer connection range and the controller can be used via Bluetooth with Windows 10. This is a great bundle to have if you are on a budget and want a quality console to game on. The new update allows you to use 1440p at 60Hz for gaming and you will get the best gameplay if you have the right size monitor that can use both. This console also allows the use of 4K, HDR10, Dolby Vision and a setting to allow video apps to play 3D if you have a 3D-TV. There is so much more to list about the console but I'm done staring at my phone when my console is waiting for me. I finally have an Xbox One again. No more loud, ear ringing Xbox 360!

I had a 360 for years before it finally died. My family still wanted to play their games so for Christmas we got an Xbox One. The design is very attractive and became a center piece on our entertainment center. Functionally, the interface works but it still confusing. Specifically, how to "stop" a game or app requires several navigation steps. Games I've played have worked well, but I find the controller a bit too sensitive for my tastes. I got the Minecraft edition and it does come with a number of bonus material in the form of coupons. I am somewhat disappointed that the controller doesn't come with rechargeable battery options. Too this point, the major issue I have with Xbox is the pay to do anything model. The console isn't cheap and yet almost every option involves an additional cost. I like this version, but I wish there was more emphasis on included value.

it was an ok system, unfortunately i was lead to believe that i could play my xbox 360 games on the xbox 1s only to find out when i set up the system, only select games are backwards compatible with the xbox 1s and none of the 360 games i have are backwards compatible. unlike the 360, i wasnt able to create simple profiles on the 1s, any profiles that i wanted to create was required to be an xbox live profile. i did buy and download a game but the game could only be played on the profile that the game was bought on. so i took the 1s back and got my money back. so other then wasting $50 on a game that is impossible to return, i got my money back. so i will just stick with my 360 until such time that its worth my time to get another system.

My review I Can’t give 5 stars Due ms had years make this more ps4 like As ease of used. This system ms care more A cute tiny media drives ms could of added 15mm 2.5 have the hard drive could be bigger & A disk drive in that size but faster would be quicker to install games. This system so Online focus like ms not known usa has Slowest internet ever You need cable internet look for bargains example above 25 meg or fiber Net Isp but Affordable prices as Google fiber and many others. Note Many Good and hype games have huge updates and file sizes. Getting system Cheaper I will forget that stuff Glad Have 1 Tb Hdd and 4k bluray Player. See I got cheap games for it it’s okay after I got used to it, I still Perfer ps4 and XBOX 360 systems.

Bought it in 2018 Black Friday sales! The ease of use is very easy to install, just make sure you have the appropriate TV to play games and movies. So far, had no problems with it, played some XBOX ONE, XBOX360 games and watch some 4K movies with no issues, but time will tell! I know i might have wrote this review a little early, but i have fate that this console will last longer than the previous version of it! Recommend to a friend! Cons: 1TB storage isn't exactly what i expected, it's supposedly or actual capacity that you can use to store games is 780GBs of free space! If you want more storage, you can get an external hard drive!

Got this for my son got Xmas he loves it we fight over who gets to play what guess now I have to buy my own so we can play together online he plays this Xbox all night and day have to buy him a charger for is controllers has gone thrue the big packs of battery’s from sams it would been nice if it came with the rechargeable battery’s but there extra but over all very happy with it he spends a lot of time on it and has not had any problems the 1 tb of storage is great he down loads a lot of games no worry’s of running out like on his Xbox 360 keep running out it was 256gb now I got to get him some skins to go on it to Mach his room

This was a replacement for the Xbox One my son has had for 4 years. I thought about an X but be for him, but he doesn't need that right now. This Xbox S was very late in shipping. I ordered it on Black Friday and didn't get it until nearly 2 weeks later. I think someone must've stolen the first order. But I called BEST BUY and they sent me another one. Anyway, my some loves the S and he says the graphics are a bit brighter, games load a bit quicker. I personally haven't noticed much of a difference.,.I think he was just excited because it was Christmas. Haha
