High quality 4K ultra hd and HDR gaming experience! And I love the ultra HD blue ray DVD player. Best results with a 4K tv. It does involve a lot of downloading and updating that is time consuming so, make sure your internet connection is reliable through wifi or internet port.

I think everyone who owns an original Xbox 1 should upgrade, at least to the S. Friends came over to play PUBG: I have an X & they both had original xbs - which looked like junk compared to the X. Well, I busted out the S so one could run his portable drive through it and while it's no X, the S was far better than the original. Also, this year's Madden is a good game. =)

This a fun system to game on. I got it for my 9 yr olds birthday, first xbox since the origonal i owned. I hate that Microsoft makes you pay to play online, so I dont.
I really wouls like to see a standard 1tb hdd offered, as 500gb fills up Fast. Your forxed to buy a external hd for extra storage or upgrade the internal drive. Which you can get a 2tb internal 2.5 hd for 99.99.
The controllers arent as nice as the sonys, as you have to use standard AA batteries. Where as sonys are standard rechargables, microsoft charges a additional 24.99 per controller for a chargable battery lack, such a money grab!
Subtracted a star for the small hd, and non rechargable controllers.

The Second Best Xbox One Ever

I absolutely love this Xbox One S. Everything from the new controller to the color (which is handsomely named Robot White), to being able to support up to a 2TB HDD. Blu-ray equipped up to 4K resolution instead of just 1080p with the Xbox One which was my former console. Also, NO HEAVY POWER BRICK. That's what I love the most because I was always looking for a way to hide it from plain sight but now, no need to worry.
The Xbox One S also supports HDR, or High Dynamic Range, which greatly broadens the range of displayed colors and contrast. Deeper colors and richer contrast means more vibrant and realistic imagery. All of this creates more stunning, vivid, and lifelike graphics. The HDR upgrade makes for a vivid in-game experience, but you must have an HDR-capable TV. Even then, only a small selection of games, like Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 support the feature.
In terms of aesthetics, the Xbox One S is marvelous compared to the Xbox One. Less bulk all around, the ability to stand it vertically or horizontally if you prefer, and now to Cortana. If you're already familiar with Cortana, great. If not, it is Microsoft's personal assistant. Similar to Siri or Google Now or Alexa, when configured, is aimed at carrying out an array of standard tasks, and thus allows you to look up the weather, search the internet, open apps, and perform a host of other actions.
Other more advanced tasks will likely be implemented in the future but it's there if and when you need it. Now to the controller. Really love the textured grip and it takes me back to the old days of Xbox with the smaller controller that came with the OG Xbox. Plus the 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom allows for you to choose to plug in headphones or a headset directly into the Bluetooth controller. Oh, and to mention the Bluetooth, it's great. The range on the controller was extended and makes wireless gaming (which I assume most of us do anyway) much easier.
So in short, if you haven't already gotten yourself an S or you're wanting an X, I would say only if you are seeking a true 4K console. Otherwise, pull the trigger and get the S. Without any hesitation.

Had to return the first one, otherwise a good product. The game play is fluid, the graphics are impressive. It is a bonus that this Xbox plays bluray. I've had an Xbox, Xbox 360, PS, PS2 & PS3. The Xbox One of course plays and looks better than all of them. I have not played a PS4 yet, so I can't compare the two of them. The Xbox One is sleek, light, and quiet. All games must be downloaded before play, so factor that time into hard drive space decision and planning for game play. Co-op games require that anyone playing together have their own account. This was something I wished that I knew prior. I had to create Microsoft accounts for all my kids, which meant thinking up email accounts for all my kids. There are few kid friendly games available for the Xbox One. This is not a family oriented system.

Worth Every Penny

I bought an Xbox360 for my kids last year, and we've enjoyed hours of fun as family with the Kinect and many games. I debated waiting for the Xbox One X, but decided to buy the One S instead, and I'm not disappointed with that decision in the least. The 4K and HDR look amazing on my TV, and the gameplay is extremely smooth.
Extras: The free download of Madden 18 made this purchase a no-brainer, but the extras kept coming. I received Forza 5, Battlefield 3, and Ryse: Son of Rome free as part of my Xbox Live membership. I also have Games For Gold, and that gave me several more free titles. A few of the games which I had previously purchased from the Xbox store on the 360 were backwards compatible, and I was able to download those on the new system. I haven't tried out the HD Blu-Ray capability yet, but I will soon.,
Drawbacks:
1. Uses a huge amount of disk space- If Microsoft were to make a compression utility available in the Xbox store I promise that the number of downloads for said software would crash their server farm. Between the OS, poor native disk management, and bloatware, the 500GB HDD fills up way too quick. I decided to buy a Western Digital 4TB USB HDD for roughly $109, as opposed to the 2TB Seagate they keep right by the Xbox One S displays for roughly the same price.
Overall: Worth every penny I paid, and the family is enjoying our gaming together.

Great size, great graphics and awesome controller feel. These new game systems where you have to download games before you can play its just stupid in my opinion or maybe I'm just old school. Also 500 gb is nothing i recommend the 1tb because you run out of storage real quick.

I used to own an original X-Box, which I passed on to my Ex GF and her kids years ago.
I decided to get back into the gaming scene and went with this one.
The ease of set-up, the UI (User Interface), and over construction is fantastic.
Game play is excellent. The controller is much better than the original (The Gorilla pad).
I especially like the Sync with my desktop computer with Windows 10, the X-Box App. Very cool!
The Blu-Ray player is GREAT!!!
Good price, Good games, Good fun!

This is our first XBOX and so far, it has been a lot of fun! The graphics are amazing, the game play is similar to other gaming systems and the Blu Ray player works great. We don't have a 4K UHD TV so no 4K UHD movies yet but that is next on our list. So far, we have played some games on line and that was way easier to do than I expected. I would highly recommend.

Bought this because the bundle was on sale which was the only way I’d pay for something with atom Brady’s face was if I saved a bunch of money. Still I wanted Madden. System is much faster than my old Xbox 360 it replaces and was easy to do. Didn’t go with the bigger drive because that wasn’t on sale and you can now add external drives much cheaper.

So fired up about my upgrade from the Xbox 360. The 4k and overall quality of the games on this console is amazing. The fact that it came bundled with Madden just gives the console that extra umpffff. Ten thumbs up.
One downside, 500gb could go petty fast so will probably end up buying external hard drive

This is the perfect price point for the latest gaming console and 4K UHD Blu-Ray player! It’s faster than the previous generation and smaller physically, and it’s bundled with a game! 100% satisfied.

So, hubby and I are not ones to jump on the bandwagon when the next new thing comes along..... obviously, since the Xbox one has been out for some time now. If it's not broke don't fix it, right?!
However, it had gotten to the point that hubby wasn't able to play the latest games anymore, and he was very interested in the new WWII game out. So, we bit the bullet and upgraded over Black Friday.
Got an awesome deal through Best Buy. Was delivered quickly. All was in brand new condition. Works beautifully!
Will have fun learning the new format, but over all I think it will be fairly intuitive.
Great buy!

Aside from the lengthy and confusing set up (due to download of updates and Wi-fi network dependent set up, I was able to start playing games after 2-3 days of set up and multiple downloads of initial updates. The only drawback is that you can't simply plug and play. You will need some patience for all the initial system updates to download. As long as you have sufficient broadband capacity to complete all necessary set-up downlaods, then you'll begin to utilize the console. I've always been an Xbox gamer and this console did not disappoint once I completed all the initial set up downlaods for the console.
