Xbox One S 500GB Console - Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels Bundle [Discontinued]

For $200 bucks are you kidding me? This is so incredibly worth every penny. Even at full price of $279.99 this is a fantastic deal. I ascended to the PC Master Race a little over 3 years ago and have had fun gaming on PC, but always wanted to go back to console to play Forza. I could just never bring myself to spending money on a console until now. Forza Horizon 3 has crazy replay value, a huge beautiful map, and plenty of cars and races to keep you occupied. Insane graphics too. Console itself is great, the newer xbox dashboard grid system is easier to navigate, and seems to load faster. 500 GB of disk space is plenty to store 7-8 games you frequently play, if you are playing AAA titles then games are often times around 60GB. Also I like the fact that the controller now has a standard audio jack on it so there no longer is a need for the chat adapter (chat adapter is still great if you want to have physical volume and mute controls on the controller, otherwise you change the volume through the xbox UI) Biggest Pro Tip: Plug this thing into ethernet if you have the chance for initial set up. Download will go faster and installing any games will go faster as well.

I finally bought an Xbox One so I could play Fallout 4. I didn't get in on that bundle at the time and when this Hot Wheels bundle came around, I figured I would go with it. What I didn't expect was to fall completely for Forza Horizon 3. The Hot Wheels add on is fun but the main game itself is amazing! Yeah, I like racing games but I usually grow tired of them and never finish the game. Not the case with Forza Horizon 3. This game just keep going and going... Yeah, I "finished" it but it is fun to work on the achievements and the Forzathon bonuses are very cool. I've had this system for almost one year now and there have been a couple of times that I had to figure out what to do (system froze and basically needed rebooted). I have played Forza 4, bunches of Xbox Live games and, of course, Fallout 4. Forza Horizon 3 and 4 are amazing games and the graphics are stunning. Fallout 4 is still glitchy sometimes but oh-so-fun! It took me a while to make the jump from Xbox 360 to Xbox One but now my 360 is sitting alone most of the time. Forza Horizon 3 is STILL AMAZING after nearly a year of playing. Glad I finally made that leap!

I love it. Wonderful quality system that makes Xbox the perfect gaming system. The game it comes with is a plus for anyone to get into racing. With this I tried Forza Horizon 4 and the gameplay and graphics is truly wonderful. The xbox controller it comes with is the most perfect gaming controller ever due to it's study builty quality and comfort. I also use this for my PC and I am impressed. The system does not run hot and performs flawlessly. The best part about this is the Xbox online subscription, you can use it to play your xbox games in windows pc. This is a great buy and Microsoft done a great job keeping gamers happy.

The Xbox One S is much better than I thought. I thought it may be weak and obsolete because the new Xbox One X is out. But it's actually a very sweet console and a great deal for the current price. I think it's perfectly adequate for the current generation of video games and will continue to be for some time. I don't have a 4K TV and I'm not planning to buy one for a good while. I love the white color of this edition. The Xbox One is backwards compatible with pretty much all the best Xbox 360 games. Halo Wars 1 runs very nice & snappy on it. The bundled Forza Horizon 3 game takes a few days to download because it's 50 gigabytes. It's a sweet game though. It's one of the very best racing games ever made. The graphics and driving physics are superb. And I love the Hotweels DLC. This Xbox One S is an affordable way for me to play Xbox One games until they make a Halo edition of the Xbox One X, which is what I want. I hope they make a green one like before.

My preferred platform is PlayStation but I want to review the Xbox based on its own merits. So I bought the Xbox One S for a little game called Cuphead. I love how sleek and quiet the Xbox One S is, I would say when running a game it’s more quiet than my PS4 Pro but I also suspect that’s a given, because obviously the Xbox One S is drawing and using less power than the PS4 Pro. I love that unlike the PlayStation Microsoft includes a 4K Blu-ray player in their machine. Now granted this is a really entry level 4K Blu-ray player and if you’re looking for the high end you’ll have to look elsewhere but it gets the job done. I love the backwards compatibility, as I split my time pretty evenly amongst the PS3 and 360 when they were the current consoles, so it’s nice to be able to sit down and play something like Red Dead Redemption with all the modern bells and whistles like game recording. I love the controller, I still think even given my preferences that Microsoft hands down makes the best controller on the market. So now I’d like to get into somethings I don’t like. The UI is an absolute joke. Everything is trapped in different menus and you have to go through multiple button presses to do anything or get anywhere in the UI. What happened to the simple days of the 360 where things were just one button press away. The dashboard is loaded with ads, ads for apps, ads for movies, ads for products, ads for games and more. Why are there so many ads? It’s not to say Sony doesn’t have ads, they exist in the PS Store where it makes sense for them to be and aren’t spammed in your face just for turning your system on. Games, where are the games? The usual suspects are here if you’re looking for multiplatform games. However where are the killer exclusives? I may have bought this for Cuphead but that game is also on PC. Microsoft has a real problem with games in that they just don’t have any. Their first party titles can be boiled down to Halo, Gears and Forza and Microsoft makes those available on PC as well thus giving no incentive to buy their box. Not to mention that unless you’re buying the Xbox One X most games will run better on the competition thus making them less compelling on the Xbox platform. UPDATE: Forgot to mention in my list of dislikes that I dislike that the hard drive isn’t user replaceable so be sure that whatever one you buy you’re comfortable with the HDD. Games are rather large so the 500GB (which is closer to 350 after the system partition) will fill up quick as every game physical or download has to be installed (this is the downside to Blu-ray drives on the one hand they give you massive storage with 50GB on a single disc on the other hand though they are incredibly slow reading so data has to be on the hard drive to make load times reasonable). However you can get an external drive for really cheap and just plug that into the Xbox and it’ll work swimmingly. Pros: Slim, Quiet, Great controller, 4K Blu-ray player, Backwards compatibility. Cons: Horrible UI, Too many ads, Lackluster options for exclusives, Games run worse than on competition, No user replaceable hard drive. So overall I like the system but it’s not without fault. I’m going to give it a 4-star review because what it does, it does well and I do really enjoy Cuphead.

Perfect, new in box, fast shipping.

Diversão garantida para toda minha família. Os gráficos são fantásticos, os jogos muito legais e todo mundo em casa amou.

I had no clue how amazing the xbox one s was! 1 free m9nth of game pass, basically you instantly have almost 200 games! 2 weeks free xbox live gold & comes with an AMAZING game! Ended up being about $350 with tax & so far i find it worth every penny! It's a real treat to have!

My nephew ordered this for himself with his own money he had saved and he absolutely loves it. It gets used very often and he is really enjoying it. I personally have not used it so I can't really comment any further. It seems to be a great product and I'm sure my nephew would agree.

The kids were so happy to get this for Christmas.
