Long awaited console upgrade coupled with amazing deal

I held off for a long time upgrading to the Xbox One. Not because I didn't think it would be great, I just had so many other projects and issues taking up my time. However, when I see a good deal, a great deal, sometimes you just can't pass it up. The Halo 5 Guardians edition Xbox One is still $500 from Microsoft and other avenues. However, I happened across a posting on Ebay where a brand new system was offered for $279. I jumped at it. I wasn't overly fond of the online abilities and content found on the Xbox 360 but immediately after turning on the Xbox One I knew I was in for something different. It is slick, rich in content, the console is responsive and everything is in crisp HD. I have loved the Halo universe for years. To come across a Halo 5 Guardians edition for $279 really excited me and I have not been disappointed at all. The included Master Chief game along with Halo 5 is a wealth of Halo fun and knowledge. The console is beautiful and no, the large size of the console doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I prefer it. The system stays nice and cool which is important when electronics are concerned. If you are considering an Xbox One, I'd say go for it. To me, it was all about Halo and I couldn't have made a better purchase to enjoy every bit of it. Especially the remastered Halo 2. That's just something special. Don't wait. Buy it!Read full review
