One X 1TB Console - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Bundle [DISCONTINUED]

I already had an Xbox One S but have wanted an X for a while. With the $300 sale price (and some gift cards), I couldn't resist even though the S still works fine after a couple years. At the moment, we have a 1080P Sony TV living room, so most of my use of this has been on that. I will say it does look better even on that TV - cleaner, crisper and with better colors. We do have a budget 4K TV (TCL) in my son's room and it's even more noticeable there. Enough that I am really itching to upgrade the living room TV to something that will really take advantage of the graphic capabilities of the X. Other than that, it's an Xbox. All the same games I've been playing, but some are nicer. (Forza 7 and Horizon 4, and Gears 5 are X Enhanced and I really want to see them on a nice 4k TV...) I'm solely an Xbox gamer right now (I had both Xbox and PS consoles the previous generations, but not enough time for both anymore), so I can't compare it to the PS4 Pro, but I would definitely recommend it over the One S if you're looking to get an Xbox now. I will say I'm happy with this purchase even with the Series X coming out later this year.

For many reasons I was extremely hesitant to purchase an Xbox One X online, but spring break was coming soon and since we were basically on lockdown due to the coronavirus I really wanted my kids (well, and me) to have something fun to do. I did a great deal of research and I read a lot of negative reviews where many sellers attempted to pass off previously opened and/or used products as new so this made me even more apprehensive. Apparently my research paid off because Abe's Electronics sold me this Xbox One X at a lower price than the retail stores AND it arrived earlier than the projected date (Thanks Abe's!!!). I was very relieved when it arrived as it had the original stickers on it and I could tell that it had never been opened. I highly advise doing diligent research when it comes to different sellers because they are not all the same! Setting it up was very easy and after a little more research I was able to "link" it to our original Xbox One and now we are able to share our Xbox Live Gold subscription between the two consoles, download the same games to both consoles without paying for them twice, and even play single-player games together online (Thanks Microsoft - this is exactly why I will continue to buy your products!!!).

Bought this as a gift. They never had any issues.

This Xbox is better than the original Xbox one is every way imaginable. It is a good all in one entertainment package especially if you’re a college student like me. The graphics are great with all of the games I’ve played. It performs well during extended use as well. The console runs very quietly. The only con I can see so far is that it takes a couple minutes to warm up if you turn it on from a full off. During those couple of minutes it can be a little laggy navigating the menus. After a while though it eases up. For this specific package, it was really easy for me to go through the credit approval process. Literally 5 minutes is all it took for me to confirm my order and begin the shipping process. I am definitely satisfied with my order and can not wait to upgrade to the next Xbox when it releases.

I went ahead and ignored the negative reviews and bought it refurbished for 350 from uShopMall. The shipping was really fast. I bought it on a Wednesday and it came the following Friday. I've been meaning to upgrade my Xbox One to an Xbox One X for some time now but didn't have the money till recently. At the time of writing this review a brand new Xbox One X is around 400 dollars give or take and trying to save some money I decide to buy the refurbished model for 350. I was nervous all the way up until I plugged it in and set it up, after that my nerves were gone. It works as if it was brand new, games load super fast and some run at a buttery smooth 4K HDR 60 fps on my TLC series 6 4K T.V. I would totally recommend buying even if you have a 1080p screen given the Xbox One X's upscaling ability. I'll end my review by saying this, of course buy new if you can afford it but if you can't, take a chance and buy refurbished and don't be nervous like I was because even if it doesn't work, amazon has money back garuntee. I don't regret buying it at all and would buy from seller uShopMall again.

My first order was most likely stolen by a porch snatching loser, but Amazon was VERY quick to send me a replacement for my lost item. That said: It's already known that the Xbox One X is the most powerful console currently available and offers the best deal in gaming with Game Pass/Ultimate. A great deal for a great price! Don't sleep on this just because the Series X is coming this holiday. This is a big boy/big girl console for those that crave PC-like power in a console. Oh, and Jedi: Fallen Order is a great game.

We really bought this as a blu-ray player since Microsoft has more incentive to keep it up to date than manufacturers of dedicated players. Was pleased to see that we can also use it for many other things, such as YouTube, Prime, etc. The only drawback as a blu-ray player is that the controller goes to sleep after a while and has to be woken up if you want to do anything while watching a movie. Haven't tried the game yet, but will eventually.

BUYER BEWARE: Once I started up the Xbox some issues came up. It was very picky on a wireless network, both my 2.4 and 5 ghz would not work, I had to use my phone's wifi network (after this the xbox works just fine on either of my two network bands). Once that was done, the Xbox kept erroring out when trying to download a "mandatory" update. I tried various networks, and nothing even if the xbox said it was connected. To fix it, I held down the "X" button on the console until it reset and once it powered back up the update started. These two issues should not happen. Coming from the 360, this feels much the same. I've been gaming on custom water loop PC's over the last many years and decided to grab a new xbox so that I can play some "console" games since ports these days are so horrible. There is a lack of "customizing" the menu screen, you still have annoying ads and what-not. The loading times are still a bit long, I'm not sure this has an SSD as no mention of it is on the information provided. There is no way to turn off the annoying bright light on the controller (I hear you can pay over 100 dollars for a different controller to claim honor). Fan noise isn't horrible but it can be noticeable with no sound on in the area. The design is tacky, I think the look of the 360 was better. The good things are the games look good in 4k, not as crisp as my desktop but still really good for a console (using a LG 65" C9). The old power "brick" from the 360 was done away with thank god. Bottom line, there's a lot of things I don't like about the device, especially the lack of customizing my dashboard, but it plays games that really don't work that well on the PC sadly. Maybe this is by design?
