Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have only used the system to play one game so far but I really like it for the amount of apps I have access to! It is an all in one entertainment box!

The Xbox one is a solid console, much better than I expected and the controller is really, really good. A lot of apps to choose from, but I really hate the game installs, they take way too long. Other than that I can't find anything else bad about it.

Can't believe how real it looks!! I didn't think it would knock my socks off like it did. This is the god of gaming.

I've been using Xbox since the first gen console. I really liked the 360, and so I decided to stick with Xbox instead of switching to Playstation. I bought the console without the Kinect because I still find the always listening function really creepy, plus, I hear that most people don't even use the Kinect, and no real games exist for it, yet. I'm really impressed with the graphics, and so far I haven't had a single time that the One has frozen or crashed on me, which is really nice because that has, and still is a major issue with the 360. I expected the start up time to be much faster on the One from the 360, but it either is the same, or is a bit longer, so that is a downside for me. I think the other downside of the One, which is something can be fixed through updates, is the user interface. I found it really confusing, lacking in many access points, and extremely limited in places to go. The 360's interface is still, by far, the best out there. I was expecting a more Windows 8 interface, like the 360 is close to, but it really isn't, and I'm really annoyed that it takes much longer to do most things, unless you know the exact name of something you're looking for. Browsing though games in the market place doesn't exist like it did on the 360, and I don't like that. All in all, the One is a great start to, hopefully, a great system. I like that it can play Blu-ray now, which is nice. The only thing lacking, is the amount of games available, but that will soon change by the end of the year.

I own all three next gen consoles. I am easy to please, and I must say that I love all three systems. That being said, I tend to favor my Ps4 and Wii U over the Xbox One as of now. The Ps4 is just a little more powerful and have been a loyal playstation user for years now. The Wii U has all of the Nintendo exclusives so as long as they keep that going then they will always have a place in my gaming heart. As for the Xbox One, the console that I am here to review, I admit that I do like the system a lot. It has wonderful graphics, the controllers are great, and the interface is pretty dope. I can't really complain about it too much. You are honestly not going to go wrong in choosing a Ps4 or Xbox One. I bought it mainly so I can play Halo when the collection drops this fall, but I've enjoyed the heck out of Titanfall as well. I'd say to check out the game libraries and pick a console based on your preferences. Or just get all 3 ;)

I only bought this do to the price. Being cheaper means it didn't come with the kinect. Unfortunately the xbone was designed with kinect in mind so the dashboard interface without it felt clunky to use. I felt that the controller is an improvement over the already great 360 controller. Graphics are good on most games. Not as good as the ps4 but still good.

I upgraded from an Xbox 360 to an Xbox 1 about a month ago and I still seem to want more. I realize that the system is fairly new and will keep getting updates that will make it better but thus far I’m not overly impressed at all. When one upgrades you expect the experience to be better, in this case it is not in most areas that matter to me. The dashboard that controls all that the Xbox 1 can do is cluttered into three sections. The 360 has seven sections that help spacing and ease of user interaction. The arcade experience which is one of my favorite parts of the 360 experience has yet to have more than just a few downloadable options. I knew going in that the platforms were not cross compatible but I expected more games to be available to be repurchased and downloaded, this is not the case (as of yet). Even the apps themselves seem to be poorly programmed compared to the previous system. For example, the YouTube app, you press (Y) to begin your search and you are put into the search que, then you enter in the search. On 360 while in the que you could press (Y) again and it helped the speed of the process by automatically adding a space between words, now I have to scroll all the way over to the _ to get a space. Now is this a big issue? No but all these little things add up and the mind boggling thing to me is how this is not at least on par with the previous Xbox?! The game I purchased Watch Dogs is a very good game and I enjoyed it fully. I have now beaten it and can say that I only had it glitch on me once. The issue there was that it seemed the Xbox was stuck in its auto save mode. Even restarting my Xbox would not fix the problem. The issue was quite scary because even on reboot the system would lock up. I fixed this by shutting down the system and then ejecting the disc which seemed to fix the problem and help me make the conclusion that it was an auto save with the game, bug. Personally I still don’t like the tile format that is the current Microsoft design. The fact is just like most webpage’s when we want more content on the issue we are reading and have read the current page, we scroll down. Microsoft in its infinite wisdom now wants us to scroll to the right for more content when it doesn’t all fit the page. The controller seems to be fine, but the headset that you attach into the bottom of the controller is a pain in the rear to remove after use. I can only theorize that some hardware genius was determined to keep it strongly attached this time around but didn’t think of the result. I seriously don’t use it unless I have to because I’m afraid I will break it upon removal because it is so hard to detach. Now you might say to yourself, just keep it in, well if you aren’t using the headset, the cords and adapter are annoyingly in the way. Another issue I have, recently I was exploring setting and I have a controller update but its asking me to connect my wireless controller directly into the Xbox 1. I was not given a direct attachment cable to be able to do this. I guess I’ll figure that out later. The Xbox 1 as an entertainment hub is a great idea and I have several friends that enjoy it but once again I was not given the right cables thus far to make this work with my current cable provider, so it is now feature that I’m not even currently getting to enjoy. I want to say it is not all bad, the feature where you can press the Xbox guide button and swap back to the dashboard without having to lose your place in your game is very nice (don’t switch games though or you will be pushed back to your last auto save). I do enjoy the snap feature for recording game play even though I did have problems with that a couple of times (just kept saving and saving and would never finish the save). Obviously the graphics and speed are better which I enjoy. The Xbox 1 for the most part is very quiet and quieter then my old 360. Xbox 1 will get better I’m sure of it but I don’t see how it’s not at least on par with the Xbox 360. I know the Xbox 360 has grown leaps and bounds from when it was released but even still when the Xbox 360 was released it was an all out upgrade from the original Xbox system. In conclusion I would like to say that I have been a Microsoft fan boy for 10+ years and if I was to do this over again, I would still purchase it with my previous 10+ year investments. I love the friendships that have over Xbox Live, achievements and of course the Halo games. The question you have to ask yourself if you are new to gaming is this, if not for Halo, why am I purchasing the Xbox 1? The new game that I’m super excited about Destiny and bought the system for is getting better treatment thus far over on the PS4. Another exciting game I’m interested in coming up is No Mans Sky which I was sad to see is a PS4 exclusive. In addition Minecraft which was Xbox exclusive is now releasing on both systems. If you are a gamer and ready to start fresh think twice before you purchase this if it’s for gaming only.

Great in so many ways, but some issues are being ironed out or still yet to be updated. LOTS of problems specifically with HALO. Its been better over the last couple weeks but still frustrating considering it was bought mainly for that game. Other users say the same thing and experience same problems. It DOES continue to get better.

Bought this for my son. He has not stopped playing it. Amazing graphics.

After owing an Xbox, and an Xbox 360, I knew I wanted to stick with the Xbox One for my new console. I love the large hard drive and insane graphics. What I don't love is there is no backwards compatibility, so I can't play any of my Xbox 360 games. So, both systems are currently plugged into my tv right now. Other than that (which might change in the future), the new system interface is pretty nice, and if you're familiar with a 360, this will not be a hard transition. Also, I bought the version with no Kinect sensor, and there really seems to be no reason to own one.

If you're looking for a great console, look no further. Graphics look stunning!!! It really blows the 360 out of the water. The controller is very comfortable too. I usually have a difficult time getting used to a new controller, but had no trouble what so ever with this one. The ability to snap live tv is great, especially during football season. My only complaint is there is no HDMI pass through. So, if you run your cable through the One, it has to be on in order for you to watch tv. The dash board can be a little unusual to navigate right out of the box, but if you're a windows 8 user, you'll have no problem. All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

When this newest generation was announced last year, I looked at the offerings of both Sony and Microsoft. Initially I found Microsoft to be very out of touch with what many gamers were looking for in the next generation. No used games? More Xbox Live restrictions? No game highlights? Cable TV integration the big selling point? Most importantly, it was announced that the Xbox One would be $100 more than the PS4. It seemed clear to me where my money would be going this generation. Over the next year leading up until and going past the console's launch, Microsoft listened to user concerns and changed directions, something that most companies would not do. This made me change my mind about the Xbox One. I now own both new generation consoles and can honestly say that there are really no negatives to either one. If I had any advice for those trying to decide which to buy, I would recommend first going with whatever system has the games you want to play, and second to choose what systems your friends will be gaming on. You almost can't make a wrong choice between these two systems. Kudos to Sony and Microsoft for not dropping the ball with these next gaming installments.

The system is great, it has better exclusive titles than the PS4. You can't go wrong with titles like Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive and Crackdown. In case you haven't heard, the Xbox One's controller is far superior to the PlayStation 4's controller. It feels better, batteries last longer and the Xbox One's exclusive patented technology (the Impulse triggers) give more immersion to the games. For me it makes such a big difference for racing and shooting games but developers are finding even more ways to utilize these into games. The Xbox One also features more stability for online gaming with Live's dedicated servers, in addition you get access to many of Microsoft's exclusive apps such as Skype and other goodies that just aren't available anywhere else. I find that this console has been under-rated by most people who haven't even given it a chance. While the competition is capable of slightly better graphics, your eyes won't even notice it.

Easy to set up. Took a little time to sync during Christmas but once it was up and running my daughter never got off of it.

Do you like camping out in a musty bedroom for weeks on end, leaving only for mtn dew, taco bell and to empty your colostomy bag? Buying a box of x will undoubtedly result in you hiding away for an ungodly amount of time, avoiding any and all direct human contact, which will likely result in a vitamin d deficiency. But thats what you get when you don't venture out into the great unknown also referred to as the outside world. (explains why so many gamers are so pale)

Microsoft once again nailed it. This console is sleek and runs well. The controller feels even more natural than the 360 controller did, which was hard to top. The graphics are noticeably improved from the 360. My only complaint is that like most electronics now, the storage space is less than advertised due to system reserves, updates, etc.

I have been an xbox fan for years since the original xbox, but this console is Huge! twice the size of the Ps4. it runs pretty quiet, but i think the blue ray player is better on the ps4. The new controller is very nice upgrade from the 360 one. Not too much more to say about this thing at the moment i think over time Microsoft will bring out it's true potential. If you are an xbox fan then pick it up.

I didn't buy it, it was a gift , and i appreciate it alot!, the device looks gorgeous, with a nice finish, fast and smooth performance, the control it is very very comfortable, it suits to my hands better than the 360's control, the interface it is simple, a little confused at beginning, but it works fine, i received the console version without kinect control, and the bad thing is that you can not use the voice commands with the headset, as a hardcore gamer, the kinect isn't necessary to play first person shooter games, like COD, HALO, etc but it is a very very cool device, just to have fun for a moments with the kids.

I have been greatly impressed by the performance, speed and graphics that come along with this product. Every release of this gaming system just keeps getting better and better. I'm not a fan of the PS4 but this Xbox 1 is just simply amazing. Lots of titles to play and everyone is an enjoyment to play and watch.

Worth the money, glad I purchased it. My friends and I have had a lot of fun with this over the holiday break!
