![]() ![]() The power unit for the new system has been left outside of the box much like the older generation 360s which is a plus considering the heat they put off, this will greatly improve the overall life of the X box. The Kinect works quite well in loud rooms as well as the commands for the X box it has not once had a hard time picking up the voice commands it needs. The voice commands are fun to use and play with, what is better than giving voice commands to your gaming system. Now all you have to do is hold the code up for the kinetic to see and it is instantly entered, no more entering ridiculously long codes for content. The new Kinect system is quite wonderful for several reasons, one being that you no longer have to enter the long QR codes to get downloaded content. There is no head adjustment on the headset it is just one solid piece of flimsy plastic, something that was obviously meant to be upgraded if you are a serious gamer. I would say the quality of the headset that comes with the new X box system is rather poor and could use some work. The thumb sticks are super grippy and the shape fits hands a bit better allowing for longer and more comfortable game play. ![]() They are of much better quality and the sensitivity of the controls has greatly improved over the last models adding to the overall gaming experience as control over the game has become increasingly more important with the competitive online gaming. The new controllers are actually one of the best additions to the new X box system. The new updated system is very quiet it can barely be heard even when the room is quiet. The hardware throughout the X box one has been updated to withstand the new memory requirements to play modern games and I must say it runs seamlessly compared to the older model 360s that are quickly become outdated. The disc tray seems sturdier than previous models and works flawlessly. I think the only thing that has not changed is the same old black box look that so many already have sitting on their shelves but other than that, it has a new very sharp design. My source from which I was able to test one, bought one of these first hand so I was able to gain access to play, as the overbearing price for this console is staggering I was unable to afford one for myself.Įverything has changed from the older generation X box so it was a bit getting used to, from the new user interface to the controller and everything in between, it has been completely reworked to support the new age of gaming. I based this review off of previous experience with older models of the x box and the features that are offered. The day X box one launched there was a frenzy of activity around this new gaming console with over a million sold in the first 24 hours, I had to find out for myself what all the hype was about. Just needs a more diverse lineup to show its stuff. Killer Instinct was loads of fun, though only getting one character is a shame. ![]() I would only tell people to wait if the admittedly pathetic lineup of launch games doesn't interest you (I was really looking forward to Watch Dogs being a launch game - darn). Did I buy it for that? No, but it could be interesting, if it becomes a little of a hassle to do. Verizon is supposed to be coming out with an app that works better, but for now, the whole setup works alright. Apparently the console can also control volume on the TV depending on the model/manufacturer, but it didn't work with mine (LG 42PT350). ![]() The One can also integrate with your cable setup - I have FIOS, so this worked alright, though it takes a little bit to setup. After playing Battlefield 4 for a good 7 hours, still didn't hear anything. The Kinect finally becomes decent for everyday use (if you watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, whatever - saying "Xbox Pause" is a lot easier than waiting for the controller to turn back on, then pausing), actually works in an apartment, and the console is qui et as a mouse. So I can't complain too much.īesides the disc drive issue, the console is a superb machine. In all fairness, Microsoft shipped me a new one a couple days later, and I didn't have to send mine back first (I shipped the defective one in the box they sent theirs in). Look, the Xbox One is like any other piece of technology - when a ton are made, you're bound to have a few (relative to the millions built) bad ones. I had to write a review because the lack of fair reviews on eBay is just ridiculous. Decent console, just needs some more games. ![]()
