Incredible media and gaming capabilities! A great purchase!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 11, 2015

A fantastic value console that really compliments our home entertainment area!

There is a lot of bickering in the console market, some like green, some like blue. However, if you are looking for a fantastic, easy, accessible gaming solution for you and the family you really can't go wrong with either of the main consoles!

We bought the XBO and the PS4 to compliment the PS3, 360 and PC etc and can say without hesitation that BOTH of these systems have some fantastic exclusives and multiplatform games.

The XBO is a wonderful feat of engineering with some great media capabilities that keep the entire family entertained for hours On end. Initally I was going to cover the pros and cons of both consoles in my review, the differences between them etc... But after re reading my review, I decided to scrap that and say this...

In the last few months, I have played both the XBO and the PS4 and expereinced emotions, toward gaming, that I have not had since the days of my NES, SNES, Mastersystem, MegaDrive!

I feel that the last few generations or so has really pushed the gaming market in a strange direction, it became saturated with yearly releases of the same games, some getting worse after every release, it also went on far too long! By the end of the generation I thought I was done with gaming for good, I thought it was over for me...

Until I played games on BOTH of these consoles!
I was transformed back to a time where the creativity behind the game was the driving force, not the cash reward! This is going to be an exciting generation, regardless of system, we now have the ability to truly expereice what the developers Imaginations Intended.

So let's put aside the specs for now, let's forget the colour of the box, let's sit down, and marvel at the incredible gaming experiences currently available to us on BOTH of these consoles and make some Incredible gaming memories together!

My New Xbox One

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2014

I brought this console due to me wanting an upgrade from the 360 and so far I'm loving the experience from the new next gen console. However every console have there pros and cons...

Pros-
Graphics have improved, games feel more realistic.
The console is quiet and does not heat up at all like pervious consoles
Nice variety of exclusive xbox one game titles such as Dead Rising 3, Forza and so on. Very good titles and enjoyable to play.
Good features within the dashboard like snap TV, Blu ray basically can multi-task in and out of game in the dashboard.
You can use any type of external hard drive as long as its more the 256gb and has 3.0 USB to plug into a USB port in your console to increase the storage.

Cons-
A new feature with the xbox one is to install your games to you hard drive so incase the disc gets scratched it will still run, but this is bad because if your new to the console the game installing at first can take really long to install fully to 100% sometimes even a day or 2 and even though the game says ready to start you need the game to fully install to play multiplayer however when having the console you do get use to it just get 1 game at a time.
Not enough hard drive storage, you start off with 500gb but when starting up the console to set it up you need to install a 100gb update which takes away some and due to games being 40 odd gb its not enough.

Overall, i am please with the new xbox console it was worth getting rid of my 360 as Microsoft have improved the experience massively and have made it more entertaining and enjoyable, i recommended to get it if you plan on getting an upgrade from last gen!!!

Good console, needs more games.. a lot more

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this purely for Titanfall and because the console was going cheap on the marketplace. The console is OK but I still prefer my PS4. The UI has gone backwards for me. On the Xbox 360 is was superior to the PS3 but the roles have reserved (as it seems their fortunes). When playing TF with a friend we found there was a good few seconds lag in mic sound so were finding it very hard to communicate when playing such a fast game (we were both using the standard Xbox headsets).

The big issue is the lack of exclusive games on it. From E3 2015 there are some good-looking games on the way but the PS4 still, in my opinion, has the better catalogue and is generally getting the more/better exclusives (timed exclusives, DLCs, as well as games). Recore, Quantum Break and Rise of the Tomb Raider (the latter being only a timed exclusive to later come out on the PS4) are the only upcoming exclusive games of interest.

And it's struggle to get up to 60fps at 1080 is a little disappointing at the moment (I'm sure that will change in the future).

Very pleasantly surprised

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 14, 2014

I'd had my doubts about the Xbox One (so much so that I opted for a PS4 when it came out...) but, as a long-time Xbox fan, I decided to give one a try. And I'm glad I did. It's a great console. The PS4 might well have more going for it in a hardware sense, but the Xbox One is a lot of fun. Very easy to use. I already had a Kinect 2.0 so I opted for the basic console. Wasn't sure what to expect, but it's a streamlined affair; nice menu, very responsive voice commands, and the hand gestures thing is brilliant, although if you buy this particular console without the Kinect, that's not really something you're going to care about. I've been playing Dead Rising 3 and Titanfall so far. The former is an extremely fun bit of zombie-swarm, smash em' up escapism while the latter is an incredible online campaign affair. I'd even go so far as to say that I'm no longer 'pro' SOny OR 'pro' Microsoft. I love both machines for different reasons. Seriously, if you're a gamer you need to at least try everything to see what works for you. Xbone gets a solid 5/5 from me.

Barely works

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2024

Was happy with how the product looked. Barely any scratches, packed well and was clean. However when I turned the controller on, a few buttons don’t work which makes it impossible to play certain games so not much point having it really. Very disappointed.
