Well, Hurricane Matthew couldn't stop this bad boy from coming! It's a day late but I'm super excited the Console looks fantastic. I've had my Limited Edition Halo 5 Guardians Xbox since October of 2015 and I loved it, but I realized that after hitting 50% that 1TB really isn't that much (These games now are just gargantuan in size) add that with free Live for Gold Games and this space could run out quickly, so when the Xbox One S came out which promised to be more energy efficient, smaller, and most of all 2TB in Capacity I knew I couldn't pass this up.



When I first unboxed this I was impressed how small the box was, but I guess this makes sense since the new Xbox One S is 40% smaller. As soon as I unwrapped the Xbox and saw the design it was instant love. There are these little details on this Xbox that you can't help but appreciate it. First of all, as included in my pictures the design of the controller has designs on the front and back. On the front, there is a claw mark on the buttons and on the back there is a Cog Tag/Gears Logo on the battery cover which is really neat that they designed this all around. On the Xbox itself, the Claw mark on the top of the Xbox One S is by far the most impressive part of the design, it isn't just a Graphic there is actually indentations to go with the claw mark. These type of things really make the design more appreciated because it shows how much effort they put into the design. The Cog tags on the vent is also a nice touch. When I reviewed my Halo 5 Xbox One Console last year I couldn't get over the design, but this one actually beats that because of the little details they put everywhere.



Putting the console on the setup process is very fast. What impressed me was how fast the console starts up now, the older Xbox One there's couple of seconds daily when I start it up. Loading times for games are the same, it's not faster or quicker than before, but thank god it isn't slower. I was worried that might happen considering this has double the capacity and not a Hybrid Drive like the 1TB Halo 5 Xbox was. So good on Microsoft for choosing what appears to be a higher performance drive, after transferring all my data I'm only using 25% this is with 15 Games downloaded into the Hard Drive so I'm very impressed.



The only disappointment is that this doesn't come with a Headset, personally I don' care as I have a Stereo Headset, but at this Price Point Microsoft should be including a Headset, overall, I'm happy with my purchase and as I always do and always have done I will continue to update my review as time goes on, if you have any questions, please let me know, and Happy Gaming!
