The Xbox 360 is the "old" Xbox, but for the money (for a used one), you can't beat it. Graphics are great, a ton of games of all genres are available (cheap!). Kinect is fun, also a great way to get you and the kids off the couch and moving. Only bad thing are the batteries(AA) for the wireless controllers. Purchase a "charger", and you'll have your bases covered.

The system was great although louder than I am used to with a newer version of 360. However one of the controllers had no functionality and the most popular 2 games had rings burnt into them so deep they will probably never be playable even if I re-surface them.

the gaming system was/is a gift for my daughter. She loves it, it is pretty easy to use but we are still getting used it. The reason this is not a 5 star is that when reading the description, it showed it came with extra rechargeable remotes and all cords. It did not say nor did it include the charger for the remotes. I misread, but I feel that the wording was misleading. I needed to go and purchase a charger for the remotes (not all backs were included so I could not just put regular batteries in them). This cost another $30...oh they don't make chargers for the batteries we have so I'm not sure what to do about this. At the moment we have a plug and play charger too (extra $$$) so we have to plug in the remote to charge it either while we are playing the Xbox or leave it on to charge that one. This is a little frustrating. The reason I put game selection as 1 start, the unit we purchased did not include any games.Read full review
I bought this Xbox 360 Kinetic (actually Santa brought it to our house) Setting this up was very easy, and we are excited to use it. Santa made a mistake and bought two games from Ebay, and he didn't know about the fact that the games have to be specifically for Xbox 360. The games he bought were for just Xbox and they don't work in this console. So we have the one game that came with it (Adventures??) One thing I would like is that the directions be more detailed, maybe geared more towards the "Older" game players. The little booklet that came with the games are so general. I am a very detailed type person and I need for the instruction booklet to be the same way. Otherwise, I would recommend the Xbox 360 to everyone, I feel the action is way cool and amazing.
Way too much fun! Setup takes a little time, but it is easy to do, especially if you already have an MSN Live Account or Hotmail Account. You do want to make sure you have plenty of space to play. If you get too close, Kinect can't "see" you anymore, so you'll want to stay about 6ft in front of the controller. Really surprises me how well the voice commands work, but sometimes the music from your game will drown out your voice, so I usually have the TV controller handy so I can hit the mute button. Also, it is possible to turn off the console with Kinect. I've read lots of posts online that say it cannot be done, but it can be. Just go to the main menu and scroll over to the Settings page. There is a menu selection that says Turn Off. When you are on this page, simply say, "XBox, turn off." Xbox will then ask you if you want to turn off the console. At that point, say "Yes", and the console is turned off. Some people would like to use Kinect to turn on XBox, but that would mean it would have to be more in a sleep mode than completely powered off. Considering that the Kinect has a video camera in it, I would find that tremendously creepy, especially if someone could hack into it. (It is connected to the Internet.) Besides, it's not that big of a deal to turn on the XBox. You just touch the big round X on the console, or press the big round X on the controller for a second or two. It does take about 30 seconds for Kinect to come online after you turn on the console. A little green light on Kinect blinks and goes steady once it is ready to go. Kinect will move up and down as it tries to "find" you, so don't freak out about that. Simply wave at Kinect, and if you have set up Kinect ID, face Kinect and it will sign you in. In summary, it truly is a "game changer" in the world of video game consoles.Read full review
