I got the Gears of War 500Gb edition for $299. A pretty good deal I think. And Forza 6 Ultimate for $100. I'm a huge Forza fan.
I've mostly been playing PS4 previously.
The Xbox one is everything I thought it would be. MY unboxing was like... this is unreal, this is not next gen its half a gen. The controller not having a built in battery is a joke, as are the USB ports being in the back.
I actually charge my controller with a phone charger and a 15 foot USB cable instead, because I refuse to shell out even more money for a battery pack. As a result of the unknown amperage on USB my xbox constantly alerts me that my controller is "low on battery" even though its plugged into a 12w USB charger. What a joke.
I had to upgrade the controller firmware and awkwardly plug it into that much hated rear USB port to use a standard jack audio mic. What?
It was like 4 hours before I could get up and running and play with my friends. The whole point of buying one because they all stuck with xbox.
Now that I've been playing it, the system is slow, unsmooth, crashes more often, the menu's are hard to navigate, games take longer to start after inserting the disc, etc. etc.
I honestly want to sell it. I'm done with it. PS4 has been the best streaming/gaming experience I've ever had. Especially once I set the controllers to turn off after 10 min to save battery. I'm a cord cutter and the xbox one is far too slow and awkward compared to the PS4 as a streaming device.
Some of the games since they are running in 900p use small font I guess to give the game that "high res" feeling. What a joke. I've never had issues with font, icons, graphics, etc. like I do on the xbox one because microsoft is so butthurt over the resolution they probably keep switching between 900p and 1080i icons & text all through development and the final product is a hodge podge of shit. Visibility & readability (I see 20/20) is poor on the xbox one. The menu is cluttered, the fonts are small, the icons are poorly colored, both in games and in the menu. Is this a joke? Microsoft clearly gave up a long time ago on the xbox one. I can't even imagine the kinect. I just read an article that it was mistaking his dogs butt as a hand and activating the cursor mid-TV show. Seems fitting, really. Anybody dumb enough to buy this shit deserves it. I'm out $400 and it stops there.
