KINECT-READY XBOX SLIM HALO LTD. ED.

New slim XBOX design & 250 GB had drive is awesome! Custom Halo dual controllers are so cool!

Though Kinect Sensor was not included with this model, the Kinect-Ready
Halo XBOX was simple to integrate with the Kinect Sensor that was purchased separately! It was so easy that my 12 year old set up the entire system!

My child's biggest and best Christmas present was late due to UPS's inability to deliver the Christmas package to me, but FedEx got a subsequent shipment to me as scheduled! I wouldn't recommend UPS shipping service on any high-ticket item as they claim that they will knock lightly on your door and leave the parcel on your porch without making sure that the package was actually received by the intended recipient. FedEx, on the other hand, knocked loudly and delivered my parcel to me in person.

I applaud Amazon.com for their expert handling of the first, lost/stolen XBOX system that was meant to be delivered to my residence on 12-23-10, & I am grateful that they chose an alternate shipping service that actually delivered the package.

Kinect was great at the time and still is fun to take out now in 2016 to show others the great tech that came out and how it can be fun to use.

It's been a week, and I LOVE it.  4k enhanced games are AWESOME.  What it does for some Non-Enhanced games is even more amazing. OG Xbox games - Knights of the Old Republic - Look amazing.

The new XBox 360 is simply fantastic. The built in wireless is rock solid, and the hard drive size is more than I will ever need. I was able to transfer all my data from my old Xbox without a problem. The wireless controllers are as solid as ever. The only addition I would make to this bundle is the rechargeable battery kit. As for the game (Halo: Reach) it's phenomenal. The visuals are simply stunning, and gameplay...well it's halo. Between the sleek styling of the new XBox and the action packed gameplay of Halo, I dare say that this is one of the best purchases I've made this year.

The best and only true wireless head set for the XBOX ONE! You could play halo with friends  make videos and also use with other devices.  Pretty good sound quality and clear mic. Amazing two thumbs up!

now i see the whole point of Halo. it was meant to be a prototype for the real game, named Destiny. which obviously, is meant to be on playstation consoles. i notice a lot of graphical slowdow, and sound is iffy on the xbone, even though its for the next gen.

XBL matchmaking is broken!

for some reason, M$ decided to use g2 bluray sized cases, in the footsteps of what sony had been doing since ps3. marked improvement, but they flipped it and put the disc on the left instead. wow what a way to retaliate. like a child throwing a tantrum.

for the limited edition in particular, there is no talking cube thing. might as well, since you are probably on a budget if you are getting the xbone version.

Just as everyone has said, this is more than just a console.  Kinect integration takes the console to new levels.  Voice commands allow you to control the console without moving at all.

Hdmi-in allows you to create a perfect multimedia experience as you can now connect other HDMI devices and run it through the console.

There is so much to the console versus just gaming.  Microsoft is really pushing that factor this generation.

That exact push is where my review goes sour despite the 5 Star rating.  The lack of quality AAA is a mood killer.  There is not a single game that separates this console from PS4.  Granted, the PS4 barely gets away with this as well.  IMO, the 360 and PS3 launch were much more gamer-oriented.

There will always be niggling issues with any electronics launch. That said this Xbox seems to comport itself very well. my only big issue is the inclusion of kinect in the system. I know why Microsoft did it... So developers know that everybody that has an Xbox one has kinect; but really that's just $100 down the drain as I'm sure to never use the frustrating thing.

Other than that it's great, grabbed all my user info from 360 with no hassle. The tv control would be cool if it could control the DVR.

Can't wait for the games specifically made for the Xbox one to come out.

Pre-ordered the Day One edition during last summer's E3.  Happy with purchase so far despite the UI needing an overhaul to be more like the 360.  Why "fix" something that worked so well in the past?  Soon to be released updates should hopefully correct some of that.  Also, the launch games and few releases since have been so-so at best, though that will finally take an upturn when Titanfall releases in March.

Console looks good, new controller is great, and Kinect 2.0 does seem to work better than the original despite me still not being a big fan of it.

The XBOX Kinect version is basically the same as the Wii version (have both).  I was disappointed that all that was required to register a good dance move was moving your arms the right way (how you stepped leaned etc were not taken into account).  Essentially you could just stand there and wave your arms and you are considered an excellent dancer.  I tried the Dance Central 2 game for Kinect and now that was what I was expecting from Just Dance all along.

I wanted to write a review on this product from a neutral party in the next console era, as I am a fan of both Playstation and Xbox consoles.  I received this a week ago with titanfall bundle.  I can say that I am very pleased with this product, the only thing that disappoints me at this time is the lack of games.  I got the console for Titanfall, and the mere fact that it was reduced by 50 bucks and came with a game, which was obviously the selling point.  Titanfall is a fantastic game if you are the type of player that prestiges online before you even play the campaign, which is what I do for most FPS games.  A campaign mode would be awesome for this game though.
Also, one thing that I wanted to mention was the kinect controls.  I have heard a lot of people say that it is not that much of an improvement over the last model for 360.  Well I for one think it is a huge improvement considering I had to yell at the 360 model for it to understand me, then it would get it right half of the time.  The Xbox one model hears everything i say, and it has many more voice commands over the 360 model.  All in all, I think this is a great console and is a very good value considering it is 50 bucks cheaper and comes with a game.

The kinect fit perfectly and it was easy to level. The camera cover was an added bonus as well. Moving the kinect to the top of the TV rather than underneath it makes it work much better.

-Great system, Kinect and voice command features are leagues ahead of predecessors. Adds a new dimension to gameplay
-Very quiet
-Other people in the room are able to say, "Xbox turn off...Yes" in the middle of your gameplay which will power down the system
-Battlefield 4 crashes frequently when online in conquest mode, also occasionally at start screen
-Sometimes Kinect sensor identifies background noise from the television next to it as the, "Xbox On," command, and will turn on in the middle of the day while unattended
-Make sure you link your xbox live gamertag to an email address before switching from 360 to Xbox One
-Graphics are great, all other games work very well
-Prepare for 1-2 hours of setup time for your system, as well as install time for each game you play
-You cannot manually manage your system hard drive storage, the system will supposedly notify you when you're reaching capacity ??

Fits perfect for my XBOX360 Kinect. I had lost the cord the goes from the battery to the outlet.  This is it!!!

I am sorry I didn't get something like this sooner. A great accessory for any Kinect owner.

My daughter is a performer and this is her favorite Kinect game in the genre. It is nice to have full blown avatars on screen to reference for your actions rather than the fuzzy outlines of other games. The xbox AI also seems to work very well when detecting movements, adding new players, and accessing menu screens. Achievements are reached at reasonable levels, including items such as outfits for your avatar.  The screen backgrounds are vibrant and overall the look is beautifully rendered. There seems to be some repetition in venues, but it isn't an adventure or rpg so thats ok as far as I'm concerned. Movement onscreen is accurate and the directions for what move is coming up and how to do it are clear. There is only one particuliar dance step that looks very unnatural and cannot be performed exactly like the avatars.

You start off in a fairly simple tutorial mode, eventually progressing further by mastering routines and unlocking new songs. The is an option to play with the karaoke style microphone or without, just doing the dance routines. I can't say how well the karaoke function works because we don't have a wireless microphone and it seemed unwieldy to dance hip hop with a mic and a cord. If it matches the quality of the dancing functionality it should be great. You can also choreograph and save your own routines. The more interactive you are with the game, the faster you'll gain fans allowing you to advance.

In my opinion this game is superior to both Dance Central and Just Dance. It feels as though it was designed for the latest Xbox Kinect generation while the others are just reboots of the same games with newer songs. Speaking of which...that is where my 4 star rating for a 5 star gaming experience comes in. Unlike the other dance or karaoke games, the catalog to draw song titles from is limited to the Black Eyed Peas. Whether there will be DLC from solo Fergie or maybe Wil. I.am is still up in the air. One will also need to be a Live member to access new BEPs songs.

There has been quite a lot of discussion about the content of the lyrics. This game is rated for teens. The expletives are fairly mild, nothing that anyone with basic cable hasn't heard. This is a hip hop group, not gangsta rap. Your kids hear things you don't like every day. If you are a good parent and they are good kids they won't repeat them. It is totally unfair to give games low star reviews because you didn't do your homework and don't understand the ratings system. The songs should not be censored. You either know what you are buying when you make your purchase, or you buy a game for the Wii that is rated E.

So happy with this Xbox! This is seriously the coolest system ever, it is sooooooooo fast. And I love that it is the halo edition. One thing that I love about it is that it is really quiet compared to the Xbox 360. My Xbox 360 is horribly noisy but the Xbox One is so quiet, you cannot hear it run at all. The Halo edition Xbox makes sound effects when you turn it on and off. I thought that since it has custom halo sound effects, that would be cool but the sound effect they chose is not really that good. I thought it would be like a gun locking and loading but they chose to put a high pitched forerunner weapon sound that sounds awful. That's really my only complaint. It has a cool black and grey color. I am so proud of this purchase and am going to have a lot of fun gaming on Xbox Live!
