Great Xbox. It lasted about 6 years before hard drive started messing up. Not sure if it’s due to Xbox releasing updates or the erasing and installing of digital games.

The Xbox One is a great system with a slew of impressive and useful features, like 4K Blu-Ray playback and backwards compatibility (both features lacking in all models of the PS4, if you are comparing the two) with a lot of great Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles, and excellent in-home streaming. There are a lot of great games out there for it, and if you're really into the Xbox exclusives, then this is definitely a great choice, even if you're just looking to play some of your favorite 360 games again.
The one thing that I really don't like about the system is the user interface for the Dashboard (AKA your "home screen"). Gosh, it's ugly. Things really seem to be all over the place, and it may take you a while to find what you're looking for. It's too complicated, and needs to be simplified and streamlined, rather than overwhelming users with options for social media and friend comparison around every corner. But with enough use, you'll be able to find your way around.
That being said, I've really enjoyed my time using it. It has performed really well, and the feature rich nature of the system keeps me coming back to it. Performance in the games I have played has been excellent, with great performance and visuals in-game. There are plenty of games out there for it, both first party and third party, and with backwards compatibility, you can pick up the great 360 titles you may have missed on the cheap in used games stores to start building your game library. Not all are compatible, though, so be sure to check the backwards compatibility list.

I had an original Xbox One I had pre-ordered and bought when the One's first came out. Still have it. I saw the sale on this one along with the Game Pass and it interested me. I talked to the sales guy and he sold me on the Game Pass portion, so I bought it. The Xbox itself is very good, has double the internal space of my original, is slimmer, and faster in every aspect of my original. Love it. Game Pass, however, is lackluster. The sales guy really oversold it and I feel I got taken for a ride on his embellishment. The machine itself, awesome, must get if you're looking for an Xbox. Game Pass, pass on it.

Hey there,
Congratulations on making the leap to Xbox One S! And thanks for recommending it to anyone in need of a new Xbox. We're sorry that Xbox Game Pass didn't live up to expectations, though. The service, which offers more than 100 great Xbox games for a low monthly fee, adds new games to its library on a regular basis, so we hope you'll check it out again soon. Until then, we hope you have a lot of fun with your new Xbox One S!

This is a great starter kit! I have many games downloaded and the one TB really helps out with all the DLC and such i have! The 4K makes my games and UHD movies look amazing on my 4K TV! Its a small size as well. Thats what the 's' stands for! SLIM! I didn't find this out until after i got this haha.

The XBOX one S is a awesome console that has many features. Its perfect for gaming, watching movies in 4K, and has so many apps that allow for an all in one package. The design looks great and is very easy to use for anyone looking for a console.

It’s a good gaming system. The 4K capacity to read 4 k movies it’s great but it seems to only last for less then 2 years. I have had issues with my previous Xbox one s . It stopped reading 4 k and regular blue ray movies. Get geek squad protection plan.

Starter bundle is just that, great bundle for new customers to the Xbox One. 3 months free Gold Live and 3 months free Game Pass. It gives you the opportunity to try some of today's hottest games before you choose to purchase them. In addition, you can browse the store for apps , movies and more all in beautiful 4K. It was a one stop purchase for all of my entertainment needs!

Love the Xbox system as a whole. As a PS owner my whole life, I was shocked how much nicer the profile of the controller is. Comes with 3 months of game pass and 3 months of Xbox gold. Nice little starter pack. I don’t have a 4K TV so didn’t spring for the One X. I’d never know it though. The One S is snappy moving from menu to menu and games launch pretty quick too. Love it.

Hey there,
Thanks for sharing your love for your new Xbox One S! And extra thanks for calling out how nice it is that it comes with trial memberships to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold. Xbox Game Pass is very handy for sampling a variety of great Xbox games that you might not otherwise try. We hope you get a lot of use out of your new system!

Right out of the box it is very simple to install! Just follow the directions and before you know it you are using the system. Create your online account and start exploring ! I already have three games and it plays without any slow load times. I do recommend buying external storage to avoid using up space. Buy one! and buy the best buy plan!

I purchased the XBox in December and since then there have been no issues with the product. It was easy to set it up and is compact enough to rest nicely on the cable box. It came with a free game pass card and xbox live and I consider it to be a good value. The free games available for download are worth purchasing the device.

I’ve been an Xbox fan since I was a little kid. It might now be the newest or most powerful Xbox one but it does its job. Haven’t had any major problems with it so far. (I’ve had it for over a year now). Plenty of memory for my main games. Overall great buy.

Have always loved the Xbox gaming systems and this is no different. Excellent graphics and game selection. Controllers are easy to handle and selection of accessories is good. The interface is still a little busy and needs to be cleaned up, but overall it is a great system.

Great edition, wish it came in other colours than white, but still its fast and reliable. used it to replace a older original XBOX 1 that was having issues. Definitely worth buying, plus getting 3 months of Game Pass and Gold adds to the benefit.

Love the console. I have the PS4 which I also love but I wanted the Xbox and this was more than capable option for how often I use it, which is only a few hours a day. The storage is plenty for the small amount of games I play. Graphics are superb

Had an Xbox one but it ended up breaking so I decided to get this one. I went with the 1 TB because for all that extra storage for just $50 more is unbeatable! Love watching Netflix and playing games on it. Great system all around

Not a whole lot different from the first xbox one but its definitely smaller. Too bad it doesn't come in black. If you don't have a 4k tv then this is a great counsel. If you do have a 4k tv then I'd recommend the xbox one x. However the one s is half the price of the one x so if you are looking for something more affordable then the one s is a great choice.
