Customer Ratings & Reviews

Received the unit few days back. Everything works perfect. Here the Pros & Cons. Pros + Kinect : Easy to control XBox and TV with voice. The Dance / Fitness games are fun. Practicing Fantasia (got from Library) / Lets Dance 2014 (bought from BBuy). + Hi-Fi Games : Games are so refined and next level in Graphics/FX. Trying to Play F1 2015. It takes time for newbies. Have to try the Top Rated Games (Halo 5, Just Cause, Gears of War, Tomb Raider). Am too a Beginner. + Smart TV Apps : If you have Non-Smart TV then this will make your TV Smart (NetFlix, HBO Go, you name it.). + One Drive : I have lot of media on my One Drive. XBox fetches the content with my live id. Watching Photos with controller is awesome. Especially Zoom and Pan the images via RT, LT. + Blu-Ray : XBox can play Bluray discs. Need to install Bluray app. It's Free. + Free Games : Xbox has couple of free games on App store. I really like "Airmech Arena". It's online only game. But very good to play. + Design: The console design/Matte finish is great. Has plenty of vents for air flow. Fits well on my TV stand. + 360 games : MS released patch to play old 360 Games on XBox one. At present it has couple of games. Expecting MS will release more by 2016. + Motion Feedback : MS fixed rotors inside Game controller for players to feel motion feedback. It's fun when playing Race Games like F1, NFS. Cons - Time to setup : It took more than 20 minutes to setup for the first time. It downloads over 2 GB firmware update for XBox, Kinect and Controller. - Controller pair : At first the controller didn't get pair and xbox light was blinking for sometime. Then I searched for solution on google. Had to press the pair button on XBox console (on side above USB Port) and press Pair button on front side of controller. If you are familiar with XBox then it's not an issue. - Power Brick : Not sure why the Power brick is really designed like Brick. It's so heavy and huge. Does it have internal fan to cool the circuits? :) - Cables : The XBox Power cable and Kinect cable are so thick. For me, it's bit difficult to fit/hide in my TV stand. It's not big deal for many. Overall I like it very much and recommend to those who looking for Gaming + Media Center console.

It's an Xbox. It won't make pancakes or help you fly. You will not feel your world change. At least not immediately. I have a 360 and the Xbox One. I have to admit, the graphics are noticeably better on the One. The controller is more or less the same. The Kinect, however is way much better than 360's. I've tired Skyping and playing Kinect sports, I must say...I was really impressed. I hardly use the voice commands, because it's easier to just use the controller to get the job done and the commands haven't been too helpful. I had to google the kinect commands to know which one I wanted to use...Yeah, that's very easy to use. I remember when Xbox One first came out and the voice commands were advertised, I think they kind of over sold it. It's not that great and especially if you speak English with an accent (my Indian friend had to repeat any command a lot of times for it to work). You still need a disc to play games (like with 360), even though it's already installed. Weird? I haven't tried playing 360 games on Xbox One, but from what I hear and have seen. It's err...dunno if I want to do that. I'll just keep my 360 for now. Summary Get it; if you want an upgrade to 360. However if you are deciding between PS4 and One, sorry mate, can't help you. The graphics are better and the Xbox One's Kinect is much better then 360's. The games are fun but it's a console not an ice cream maker. The games are only as good as they are made. If you have being saving up for one, wait and buy when there's a deal. It will get you in trouble, your neighbors will be mad about the noise and people you love will say you are becoming anti-social but you will love the small world it creates while it lasts. Try to take a break every two hours. It helps.

Sure takes a long time to download all the updates and games, but this bundle is a great deal. What sold me were the games which are fun and family friendly. Don't really get why 90% of video games are about war and killing things. Are most of the population psychotic? Thus this bundle was exactly what I was looking for. Btw: the new and improved Kinect sensor is perfect for all fitness and dance games. The much improved accuracy makes all the difference.

Couldn't beat the price for both console and kinect. Works great!

We recently purchased the XBox One with Kinect bundle as a family system. I haven't owned a gaming system in over 10 years and decided on the XBox One. My wife wanted a blue ray player and I wanted to get back into gaming as a way to keep in touch with my siblings who play online games. The online gaming has changed immensely since I last played and had issues with constantly being disconnected but that's no longer the case. My six year old daughter loves the voice operation ability which makes it easy for her to navigate to certain Disney channels (besides what 6 year old doesn't love telling others what to do) and the fact that the Kinnect recognizes her when she walks into the room and tells her "Hi". The system takes some getting use to but after investing a little time with the XBox One you learn the layout. I also like that when you use the voice commands to turn the XBox on/off you can set it to also turn on all connecting devices. The only problem I've had with the XBox is it not recognizing the wireless controllers or being able to connect them to the system. To fix the problem I have to shut the system down, unplug the XBox, and restart it. After that it recognizes the controllers. By the way, Yes, the controllers are updated. If it weren't for this issue I would rate it five stars. Great system I'M impressed!

Hooking up the Xbox took very little time and was easy. Setting up the Xbox took longer then expected with the updates and setting up all of the accounts for the users. The Kinect is very cool and the kids like to move around and play games. This works well since the weather outside is colder now.

I won't go into the details about the XBox - there's lots of professional reviews elsewhere about its capabilities. But this bundle is excellent value, because you're effectively getting the Kinect for $50, which is $100 less than it normally retails for. So far, loving it!

I have been using my new xbox one for 2 months now. Really satisfied with the performance, haven't really faced any sort of issues with the machine. Kinect works great. Sometimes it would not interpret the voice commands unless you mute the TV. Overall a good buy.

I had 360 before and I felt kinect was not as responsive but the new kinect technology is awesome. The graphics look great and now it has the blue ray which means I dont need to attach another Bray player to my TV

Love it does what you want, the Kinect it a lot of fun to use. It was easy to use just took a couple hours to set stuff up since it downloads games or uploads depending on what you are doing.

I bought this for my kids 12 and 7. They are very happy with this bundle. I plugged it in and went through the initial set up in around 10 minutes. The user interface is very nice and simple to use once you get going. Kinnect is pretty awesome. We played Kinnect Sports Rivals without any hiccups. Xbox Fitness with Kinect is cool too. I passed this off as a big 'meh' before i tried it, but the Kinect tracking and point system actually makes working-out a game as much as it can be. All in all very much satisfied.

I know many have started avoiding the Kinect but i think it is the biggest draw to the Xbox One system. voice control and ease of use make this a great buy!

I picked the Xbox for the Halo platform, plus I like what Xbox is doing with games with gold. This machine is not the blazing fast processor that I thought it was going to be, and downloading games is a pain. But what it does, it does well. I highly recommend getting the Kinect bundle, it is fund for kids and adults and when I walk in the room, the Xbox says hello to me. Take that ps4. My kid like it until he got grounded for putting the Xbox remote through the 60" flat screen... After that the Xbox didn't turn on for a while. Not sure if he will ever play it again, but I am enjoying it... Even on a little tv.

It comes with a nice sets of startup games and Kinect. Provides a good value and I wisely chose add-on games which made our holiday nice.

Much better than the xBox 360. Easy to set up and navigate. Pretty much everything I expected it to be. Kinect is a must in my opinion.

I'm not a gamer, this was a gift for our son and he likes it. I did have to do all of the setup though. connecting to the TV was simple. Getting all of the account stuff setup and trying to figure out the parental controls but still allow our son to be able to play games was frustrating. Even looking online for setup of parental controls was not what I'd consider very clarifying (maybe I wasn't looking in the right places or using right search terms but it shouldn't be that hard). If instructions in this area could be beefed up, that would be awesome.

My 8 year old and my husband both love this. The graphics are great, the Kinect is awesome and the set up was fairly easy.

With little kids, kinect for the sports and dancing games are a must. The voice control of everything is also fantastic.

I loved the Xbox 360 but knew it was time for an upgrade, the xbox one has great graphics and I love that the system had a deal with the kinect. I was also able to buy multiple games at a good price as i bought a gamers club membership. The xbox one system works great and i was able to set up everything in a matter of minutes. I also run the system in another room as my tv is located on top of a fireplace so i can confirm that the controller works through the wall with no lag.

This is a great deal from Best Buy and works great out of the box. The interface with Xbox Live is a little complicated but games look fantastic on a 55" LED HDTV.
