Xbox 360 500GB Console - Forza Horizon 2 Bundle

Replaced my 360 Pro that was dying on me (lasted 9 years, pretty good), it's great, only $216 total, 500GB is huge considering how little memory 360 games take up, it's the E model (latest one made), it's BC compatible, looks real nice next to my Xbox One, runs quietly, free game is nice to have, but it takes many hours to download, go to setting and set it to download when off, so that way you can start the download, turn it off and it will be installed when coming back from work or in the morning if done overnight. Only design flaw IMO is the fact that the eject button is right next to the power button and it could be easy to turn it off if you have big fingers and it is not lit, so you can't see the eject button since everything is black, but it's not a big deal, just have to pay attention as to where the button is. Get it new while they last, soon they will be rare and expensive, good replacement if you have a old model, just need the data transfer cable to transfer your games from the old hard drive, use the official Microsoft data transfer cable though, I read before that the cheap knockoffs don't work. Came with a one year warranty once I registered it through Xbox Live. Tip: when setting it up the first time, it will ask to create an account, but it won't let you sign in with you current MS account, so you'll need to turn it off/on, then go to the home page to sign in, after that you can do updates and connect the data transfer cable to transfer content from your old hard drive if that's the case. It did not come with an HDMI cable as advertised, just an A/V cable, for SD connection, Amazon needs to rectify the listing, I already had an HDMI there from my old Xbox so it didn't matter to me.

Works like a charm

The Xbox was delivered new as advertised but I was kind of disappointed to discover that this is the model that ejects a tray to load the game. I would have preferred a front loading system that does not use a tray instead.

This is the latest, greatest, most updated model of the Xbox 360! Yea. THESE PEOPLE SUCK! The only good things I can say about this console are that it functions for playing most games, it's quiet, and it's easy to hook up to my smart t.v. I just wish the lazy money grubbing scumbags at Microsoft could even begin to care about the quality of their products! The most advanced super awesome model for this console and the dashboard is the same, it's still stupidly slow, still gets super hot, and after 2 days this piece of garbage can no longer pick up my wireless signal even from 5 yards away!!! That's right! Just like my last one NO WIRELESS! These are the same problems my last Xbox 360 console had! These guys DO NOT CARE ANYTHING ABOUT QUALITY! Know what you're getting into and have a nice long ethernet cord ready because you'll need it! As for the Forza Horizon game that came with it? Not bad, but the steering controls are way too sensitive. No way to fix it. I've yet to find a single good racing game on the Xbox 360. Back to the Wii or my Playstation 2. Or better yet I'll go exercise or read a book! Lots of great books on Amazon.com! Anything is better than having to deal with this Xbox 360 crap! Point is buy it if you want it, but only if you have an HD t.v. because numerous Xbox 360 games are made exclusively for those! Does Microsoft care? If they did they would actually have customer service! There are a lot of great games, but you need to be prepared for A LOT of hassle!

Awesome console, wanted to get one before the 360s went extinct so I could play some of my favorite old games annnnd some original xbox gems that I still own, and I'm glad I did... They did get rid of a few connections (Read other reviews for details on this as I'm not super tech savvy), however, I found they weren't necessary at all for me... Has HDMI connection, can still hardwire this to the internet if you don't want to rely on WIFI, has enough space for two wired remotes and two wireless (or just four wireless remotes), fan is a LOT more quiet than previous models (would still recommend buying an add-on fan for the top, very easy to find I.E. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MWH4FL4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). Etc... The only drawback is when putting a hard disc in to play, the motor sounds like a jet engine, hasn't bothered me too much but if you're lookin for pure stealth, then this model is probably not for you, try to find a 360S before they are extinct too. Happy hunting and happy gaming, hope this helped

After Getting this I was hoping I would be able to plug it up and play it. The controller Is not recognized by the console at all. Console has Scratches but I can deal with that. The fact that I had to go out and buy another controller i am not happy about. This product was not advertised As USED!

I've had this for over 3 years and it still works.

I had been out of the world of console video gaming since 2004 when my house was struck by lightning and zapped my original Xbox. Now I have 3 kids ranging from ages 4 to 8 and I wanted them to get the same kind of console gaming experience I loved growing up. I felt like this was a really good deal on Amazon compared to how much the Xbox 360 console by itself is going for at stores. So we went for it. So far we have really enjoyed the Xbox 360 500GB Forza Horizon package. Bought a few classic games off the clearance shelf and the kids love them. I have been enjoying the Forza Horizon game download. It is a different take than the racing games i used to play, as it has somewhat of a back story you are completing as you progress through the game and become a "famous" street racer. Very cool game.
