    Requires modern internet speeds.

    I bought this Xbox One S to play multiplayer Minecraft at home with my kids. Unfortunately, our internet speed is too slow for 3 players, 2 can play, mostly. We tried the “Offline” setting with no improvement. Saving and syncing inventories is an issue. I have been completely disappointed with my new Xbox One S experience from the first 5 minutes of having it. The biggest problem seems to be with the need for online integration and syncing, so make sure you have modern internet speeds. I’m around 5 Mbps download! : ( It’s totally lame to say the least. Also, I have a worthless Star Wars game voucher that I can’t use, also thanks to our internet. And no manuals of any kind or links to online manuals came with the Xbox or games. I’ve tried googling answers, but I can’t seem to ask the right questions. I called Best Buy and got the number for Microsoft, which directed me online to a worthless page I’d been to previously. Thanks for nothing Microsoft! Make your stuff playable offline.

    Did not expect a digital download as the game it came with, would have liked an actual copy of the game.

      Hi Karly,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with the Xbox wireless controller that came with this bundle. If it's still within Best Buy's return period, we recommend exchanging it for a new one. If that's not possible, every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty so please reach out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    works great. Only issue is why do you have to download the game when you have the disc? Took forever!

      Hi Jess,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox One S! In regards to your question about why games need to be installed to the hard drive, it's because most modern games are so large and complex that the best play experience comes from the faster speed of a hard drive versus an optical drive. Games simply load faster and play better that way! We hope you have a lot of fun with your new Xbox.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    Console itself is amazing and I love it, the controller hasn’t worked since I bought it, which sucks because who wants to pay $400 for something and have it not work? Then get told there’s nothing they can do except spend $60 more on a new controller!!!

    I would love to be able to review this but we have had four missed installation appointments so I have no idea if my $3K worth of TVs and wall mounts even work yet. I can say that they look very lovely in their boxes on the floor though as they were delivered on time three weeks ago.

    Bought this as a gift for my husband. Took it out the box after the return/exchange date (which I didn’t know) Opened the box and it didn’t work. Hardware Error. Couldn’t return or exchange in the store and trying to contact Microsoft is Hell. Lost of money with a game system that doesn’t work.

    Arrived today with all seals broken! I have been trying to get a hold of someone for over 8 hours. I paid for a new item not an open box item! No one answers the 800 number or the store number and chat is not available either. I want a refund!
