overall good experiance

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. I based this review off of previous experience with older models of the x box and the features that are offered. 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. Everything 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 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. The disc tray seems sturdier than previous models and works flawlessly. 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to play modern games and I must say it runs seamlessly compared to the older model 360s that are quickly become outdated.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 new updated system is very quiet it can barely be heard even when the room is quiet. The new controllers are actually one of the best additions to the new X box system. 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 thumb sticks are super grippy and the shape fits hands a bit better allowing for longer and more comfortable game play. I would say the quality of the headset that comes with the new X box system is rather poor and could use some work. 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. 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. 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 voice commands are fun to use and play with, what is better than giving voice commands to your gaming system. 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 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. Microsoft has included a nice 4k HDMI cord given this is the most modern way to get the quality we want out of our picture, something no previously included in the purchase of an X box system. The actually box is quite study and feels like the time and effort was put into making it that way , as we all know these things all hit the floor at some point in their lives. My overall generally impression of the new X Box one is good, I believe Microsoft has made another great product to compete with other gaming systems like the ps4. I enjoyed the gaming experience and was fully involved while I was playing and this I think is the best new feature added to current modelsRead full review
