Xbox One 500GB White Console - Special Edition Quantum Break Bundle

Yes,.... just got a fresh new cirrus white console with the cirrus white controller and loving it. I upgraded and sold my black 500GB X1 with 1 control and the difference ended up costing me about 50 bones. Good deal considering I'm getting Alan Wake ,Quantum Break the spanking cirrus white controller, the spanking cirrus white X1 and a renewed warranty. It's in the update process as I've been writing this review as it's only been 5 mins, but since I already owned X1 and know what a magnificent gaming platform it is, I'm going 5 fun factor stars. And it's only getting better as the people in charge keep making better business decisions about listening to their core audience. Love backwards compatibility as some games sound and look much better than their 360 counterparts and thank goodness I went digital back then and now have a wealth of back compatible games to install at my disposal along with 2 free every month with Xbox live not to mention the 2 free X1 games. I hooked up wired with a 50meg HSI connection and from start to finish has taken less than 30 minutes from unboxing to update the console, apply all the audio/video settings/setup One Guide and install Quantum Break. My console has been updated installed and I now get to enjoy Quantum Break. Edit June 6 2016 I truly felt Quantum Break was a wonderful gaming experience. There were so many firsts in gaming for this game and it's pretty terrible that the criticism it received is not as great as other titles that r in direct competition with it. The graphics are astounding in particular areas of the game. For the most part the game runs very smooth especially for all the eye candy that it's throwing out at once. It's the kinds of graphics they promised us at the start of this generation of consoles. I did notice some areas of the game seemed to not be as optimized as others and u can notice slight degradations in graphical fidelity but it does not break the experience and is seen seldomly. Controls are great and action feels wonderful as you are controlling the game. Sound is wonderful on my 5.1 and again seems like they spared no expense trying to get this right. It's linear game but the world is so detailed you can sometimes feel like you're roaming in an open world game. There are a lot of varied environments and the work they put into getting the look and feel of the game into the actual movie scenes is also very nicely done. The story which includes real higher profile actors are brilliantly shot and even though I never watch TV that much, I actually found the mesh up of the game world and the real world were nicely crafted. As of this point the game has also been updated to be less buggy but never really found many to begin with. It's also great to be able to play this game twice and get an almost completely different experience due to the time element built into the game and the choices you can manipulate. There are so many great elements to Quantum Break and I'm not trying to be a fanboy, or skew a review, Im just trying to give ppl the right information and not this inflated hype from FB trends or paid game journalism websites that are all completely biased. This game is the real deal just like most of Microsofts exclusives. It continues to push gaming forward for the people who actually care about the hobby so I would highly recommend it.

There are in-depth reviews of the Xbox One everywhere, so I will write about what's different, and what are my personal experiences using it. What I like: 1- The color scheme is very simple and elegant. I've always liked white-colored electronics as they provide a stark contrast to 99% of the black electronic products out there. The PS4 have had a white version for the longest time, and besides the Sunset Overdrive bundle, Xbox One has been missing its own white version. 2- The Quantum Break/Alan Wake version at $300 is a much better deal than the Sunset Overdrive version at $350. With the price of the games taken into consideration, you are essentially getting $400 worth of value for $300, plus a cool-looking white console with matching white controller. 3- Speaking of Alan Wake, you also get that for free. Both Quantum Break and Alan Wake are downloads though, so no luck for those who would want to resell it. 4- The shape of the controller feels much better in the hand than the smaller and less ergonomic PS4 controller. I also prefer the trigger buttons and analog sticks. What I don't like: 1- Comparing the Xbox One to the PS4, the PS4 interface is much faster and easier to use. Perhaps Microsoft is trying too hard to have the a computer/all-in-one entertainment system, but it's over-ambition shows. Many apps load and execute slowly - you can feel that lag and strain as it tries to load and run things, while the PS4 breezes along most of its operations. A specific example is the NFL and ESPN apps. 2- There are things I like about the controller better than the PS4 controller, but the overall quality is inferior to the PS4's. The plastic shell feels cheaper, the face button feels cheaper, and the D-pad feels the worst and chintzy of all. Considering that the PS4 controllers sell for $50, the Xbox One controllers should not sell for over $60. To be competitive and gain ground on the PS4, Microsoft not only needs to lower the price of the console to $300 bundles like this, they also need to lower the controllers to less than $50, and the Kinect 2 to $75 or less. I am really debating whether to keep this Xbox One. I love this white version - I would not have bought a regular version, or any "limited" version had it not been on sale for $300. With rumors of an updated console, the truth is, right now is not the best time to jump into a new console if you are not sure exactly what you want. To the casual gamer who doesn't have either consoles and are on the fence looking to buy one, the PS4 is just more exotic and have a much better library of games. What other big game franchises does Microsoft have over Sony than Gears of War and Halo? The PS4 has a much bigger backing in Japan, where some of the best games are, that are not even ported to the Xbox One. To ensure its survival, Microsoft cannot think "American," and must adopt more diverse and expansive strategies than just to make shooters. The PC game industry already has a lock on that(plus MMO's), so Microsoft must find more unique ways to get better games to its target audience, which is the casual and family gamers. I have had the original Xbox, Xbox 360, and now the Xbox One. I have also had a Playstation ever since the original One. So I have a subjective view and love for both. If you love Microsoft, then this bundle is a no-brainer.

This is one sexy console with one sexy controller. This is the first console I owned to myself and in comparison to the products my friends own, I am very satisfied with the purchase. I am going to quickly comment on the pros and cons of the purchase and the hardware (software, games, etc are separate discussion in my opinion, and are also research that you should do prior to purchasing any console): ----pros---- 1. Sleek modern look. I love the white exterior much more than the default black. 2. Unique controller. I believe this white controller (different from lunar) is unique to this bundle, and I absolutely love it. 3. Great packaging. Everything was secured in place. 4. Easy to assemble. If you have trouble putting a few cables together, I don't know what to say. One quick thing: make sure your HDMI is set on output when you connect it to a TV or monitor. ----cons---- 1. When it runs, it's a little loud (imagine a desktop PC), but most likely you'd have the speaker on so this isn't a big deal what-so-ever. 2. 500GB storage is stingy... 3. It could be hard to find the right place to download Quantum Break on the Xbox if you are new. I recommend setting up your Xbox/microsoft account online with a computer and redeem the code there. Save ya quite some time. Overall, the console is FANTASTIC and I absolutely enjoy playing any game on it!

Received Xbox console, controller, and a HDMI cord was a decent price for a used console was mildly dirty but that was a easy clean. Did not receive a power cord which is why I rated a 4 star only because in the description it said it would come with a power cord also in the image said it would come with two games preinstalled but I just presume where it’s a used console they wouldn’t be accessible because the games weren’t downloaded either but I ain’t to concerned about them weren’t games I was really interested in , but I was able to use one to see if the console works till the cord I order comes in. The one I received didn’t take to long to boot up and game downloads aren’t to slow. The console makes a slight disc whirling sound when it first goes in that’s no worry for me everything works really well.

The Quantum Break XBox One White Bundle is a great bundle in terms of value But, it's down fall is it's plain white look It has nothing really special it's a white color XBox One Console This is my second Xbox One (The original black still looks better) One thing to keep in mind is the Controller the mold or something is much different My first White Console arrived but, had massive issues with the controller the (A) button would stick constantly Tried to contacted Microsoft about this major issues It's close to impossible I'm a fan of Microsoft as a company but, good Lord there customer service stinks! So i had to pack up and return the console to Amazon after i received a Replacement console all for a broken controller So this is my 2nd 500GB White Console and truth be told the white controller is once again "off" I can compare the original black controller to the white Quantum Break controller The white controller feels "cheap" compared to the original one I'm sure it's the mold they used to create the white controller I've had countless controllers throughout the 32+ years I've been playing home consoles never had anything this strange All consumers should keep this in mind If you chose to get this Bundle test the controller and make sure it feels right to you Besides this massive problem this is actually a really great Special Edition Bundle you get two HQ Remedy games make sure to also get a 3-5 TB External hard drive you'll need it between back-wards compatible titles you'll have in your games and the other games you add to the XBOne library space gets gobbled up very quick Also if you are planing to jump into this generation or you already have a PS4 and want to get a XBox One Make sure you have a middle of the road Home Theater System Audio is just as important as the silly PQ debate Despite the controller gamble this is a solid way to go if you plan on getting a XBox One The price is awesome and you get plenty of bang for your buck With two amazing Exclusives that changed home consoles 9.4/10

When I get a turn, I love it. I still think there should be greater "backwards compatibility" with 360 games. check your game pile, and the list of backwards compatible games is small and many of the popular games are not included. you may need to re-buy some games or maintain two systems, hence the poor value

When Don Mattrick left Xbox and Phil Spencer took over, Xbox returned to the system we all knew and loved. I, like many others, went out and bought a PS4 during the console wars. Xbox was failing and it seemed to have been leaving its gamers behind in all aspects. Thanks fully, Phil Spencer (an actual gamer unlike Don Mattrick) came out and gave the fans what they wanted. We now have backwards compatibility so many games we used to love including, COD: Black ops, Gears of war, and even Red Dead Redemption! There are so many games on the way as well! Not to mention Games with Gold! Every Month if you subscribe to Xbox Live you get free games and although Sony has the same type o situation going on.. it doesn't compare to the games offered by Xbox. Xbox offers exclusive games that you would actually love to play. Unfortunately, Sony offers low-end games that aren't as fun to play, and not to mention when you stop paying on your PsPlus account you can no longer play the game. For Xbox, once you download the game it's yours for life, whether you stop paying for Games with Gold or not! Great system with many functions and Phil spencer even clarified that they would eventually be able to do backwards compatibility with original Xbox games! This company loves its followers and it's going to keep rolling out more ideas for years to come! Phil Spencer won't let one bad decision-making' executive bring down the Xbox!

Controller is broken, left bumper is stuck down. Very unhappy that I can't use my brand new xBox Update: Called Amazon, said they'd send a new controller. Had the xBox set up for two days and now my brand new game won't eject and the only way to get it out will scratch the disc. Pretty bummed out with all of this purchase so far..
