A review for those of us that are young at heart.
Before I start the actual review I would just like to clarify something. My Xbox One s was not purchased from Amazon or the market place and the bundle that I have is not currently for sale on here. I got mine from a well known High Street and online Game retailer and the bundle contained a dark blue 500GB machine, one colour matched controller, Battlefield 1 as a download only, COD Infinite Warfare on disc and a 14 day Gold pass.As a gamer in advancing years, 60 next year, this is my first Xbox of any description and I would like to give other young at heart gamer's a more balanced perspective and help them overcome any techno fears that they may have. My previous experience of modern games machines has been limited to the Wii which I enjoyed very much but did have its limitations.PROS- Plug and play. Ensure that your WiFi is on, connect the Xbox to the tv using an HDMI lead, connect the power lead and put 2 x AA batteries into the controller (I can recommend the Venom rechargeable power packs available from Amazon, see my review for this item and its use). Turn on the Xbox and it will guide you through the set up process. You will need to set up a Microsoft account if you don't already have one.- No need for a separate Blu-Ray/DVD player- Access to Amazon, Netflix etc- Supports 4K Blu-Ray/DVD- Quite compact and no external PSU (see photos)- WiFi controller- Easy to navigate menus with plenty of content- Very little or no noise- Ability to connect an external hard drive. Currently a cheaper option than buying the 1TB or 2TB Xboxes.- The wife is very happy with the lack of clutter behind the tv now that the DVD, Blu_ray player, Fire stick, Wii and all the PSU's and leads have virtually gone.- Stands upright for space saving (with appropriate stand, available at a very reasonable price from Amazon)CONS- Games on disc need to be downloaded onto the hard drive (20-30 minutes, depending on connection speed as the game invariably needs an update)- Some bundled games, in my case Battlefield 1, have to be downloaded online as there is no disc just a code. In my case this took nearly eight hours to fully load at an average speed of 22 MB/S (BT Infinity)- 500GB storage. 5-6 games and this is virtually full. (See PROS above re external drive)- Controller buttons hard to see in low light (Being picky here and I dare say that once you memorise which button is where it won't be a problem but back lighting would be good for us not so young uns as my memory is about as good as my eyesight!)Overall very pleased with this purchase, not just the gaming but the whole entertainment package that it offers, obviously some of these need to be paid for separately such as Amazon Prime etc.I am more that welcome to answer any questions that you may have with regards to the Xbox One s.
