If you're a halo fan, this is a must have. It comes with all sorts of goodies and even a 3D laser model that you can assemble. It turned out great! It has unique sounds for the disc and power off and on. I get giddy every time I hear them! Worth the extra moola for sure. And of course, it comes with the download code for the new Halo:Guardians game!

Simple review. The box is beautiful, the contents are beautiful, the game is beautiful, everything about it is beautiful, you get the collectors edition of the game. Req pack for war zone which is amazinggggg, (and comes very much in handy) and a beautiful console with a beautiful controller, ....how many times have I said beautiful? Who cares. It's worth the price! Buy it' now!!! My cats loved it.

Firstly I like to say that this consoles colors look amazing and all around slick. I like that the controller shares its likeness and has great feel to it. I had wanted to make the change to XBOX ONE but hadn't seen a console that amazed me. Hope more consoles like this come out where they go for a great overall look and not a minimalist one. Ohh one more thing, it makes different sounds when you turn it on, off and use eject button.
*SADLY SOUND IS ONLY ACTIVATED WHEN YOU PHYSICALLY DO THOSE ACTIONS, NOT WHEN YOU DO IT WITH CONTROLLER.*

I love the look of the Halo 5 Limited Edition Xbox One. The custom sounds it makes are a little weird, especially if you are used to the default sounds.
Having a 1TB hard drive is so much nicer than the 500GB drives. I think 1TB should be the bare MINIMUM, as all these games take up so much space it fills up quick.
The two downsides of this is: one, the price. It costs $499 for this bundle, when other bundles with equivalent specs (custom design, game, 1TB hard drive) are selling for $399. It's the bundle everyone was crying for so of course they charge a premium. The second thing I don't like, (and this is not limited to this bundle), is the fact that the game is a digital download rather than a physical copy. I would much rather get a physical disk than a digital download. I think Gamestop sells all their bundles with physical games instead of digital downloads as they refuse to sell them that way. I bought from best buy because with Gamer Club membership you get double points.

The new Halo console is finally here. If you're reading the reviews then you're probably a halo fan. The console is very nice, it's no longer a glossy finish to where if a fly lands on it, it's now scratched.
The sounds from turning on and off the system is awesome. The controller is awesome as it is somewhat textured along the grips.
This is a must have for every halo fanatic!
Plus it's a 1TB. So you shouldn't have to delete games just to install new ones now

This will not be a review of the console itself. The halo design is very nice and the custom sounds are a cool idea but are very loud. Because of this I cannot switch discs during my nighttime gaming. It does include a digital copy of the game - though I would have personally preferred a physical disc. It also includes the spartan Locke controller to match the Locke design.
Overall, it's a good buy for an avid Halo fan but not worth the extra money for those who don't necessarily find value in collecting game-related materials.

Ordered this console for my BF who is a huge halo fan. He loved it. The console is cool looking, sleek and QUIET theres no sound of fans or anything. The console responds quickly to requests and is really nice. All the extras were packed nicely and securely. Do note that the figurine requires tools to cut out and assemble. The bundle does come with a headset and 14-day gold trial (which will allow you to download the game and extras). The controller is sleek and feels great to handle. Really a nice console and a great gift for any halo fan. Just note that this comes with the digital version of the game and microsoft no longer offers the promotion to exchange the digital game for a physical copy. So if you want a physical copy you may be out of of luck here

So I looked for several months before deciding on the Halo 5 Edition of the XBox One. Visually I liked the look of it over the prior releases and to my surprise it has sound effects that match the game that it is modeled after. 1 TB hard drive has been a great amount of room and after installing about 14 games I am at about 47% used on the Hard Drive. If you have a massive library of XBox One games a larger external drive will be needed but for the average user I think 1TB will be enough.

For 499.99, the price is a bit steep but if you are a Halo fan, you won't be disappointed. Awesome Xbox, cool controller. The game is a download token so a bit of a bummer there but you get the limited edition at least so added dlc perks. 1TB drive is a plus as well. All in all, I like it and don't regret my choice.

New console is really nice. The halo package has a very neat design. The system seems to run faster and the graphics are much better than the older units. The Xbox one game Call of Duty Black ops is an action packed game. The Halo controller matches the console,looks really good.

Really well constructed to resemble that of the Halo Universe. It even makes Halo sounds when you open and close the disc tray. It also comes with a matching Halo controller. Great product!

Bought it when they were rolling out the bundles before Christmas, came with Halo (installed in its 1 TB hard drive), an extra game (blacks ops 3 obviously, why get any other game?), and an extra controller (Chose master chief edition). Looks amazing and it sounds great when you turn on the Xbox manually.
Completely happy with my purchase since it was a part of a set of Christmas gifts to myself.
Anyhow, I've enjoyed my Xbox immensely since I've bought it, and the only missing is the kinect, which would've been nice if it came along with the bundle. No problem though, I will purchase it separately, since it makes a difference in overall enjoyment.

With all the choices of console variations to choose from, this one looks the best to me. The power-on/off sound and the disc eject sound is a bit much, but otherwise the console itself is great. I love having the 1TB of internal storage. As a casual gamer, I don't worry about filling that up anytime soon.
On top of this, the console comes with a great looking controller with a standard headset port, and it comes with a digital copy of Halo 5 with a few digital add-ons.
Streaming from this console to my Windows 10 machines is really nice too. I can plug in an Xbox 360/One controller into my machine and stream my Xbox games directly to me.

Halo 5 is my favorite game so far even without the split screen. This Xbox One is of high quality design and has plenty of storage. If you intent to buy Halo 5 anyway I would recommend this bundle. This controller looks good as well. It has batteries but it's compatible with the play and charge kit which I recommend purchasing.

The system is solid and the aesthetics are pretty good but the whole thing, overall, is missing that next level. The sounds are pretty good, much like the other systems, revolving around shields but this time they are a bit much.
If you're a Halo fan, it's a must and good enough so you don't feel bad doing it but if you're not a fan, spend $500 on the Elite system.

It took a while for the Halo 5 Xbox One bundle to come out, but I finally got it! I love the finishing design and appearance, and the 1TB hard drive that it comes with! This should allow me to play and install more games and music that I used my Xbox360 for. I just wish it came with 2 controllers instead of one, but it's not a big deal! Still great to have.

The look of this is so cool and different than just the plain, black xbox. The controller is cool too. Comes with a headset to chat as well as some extras for halo fans.
