Review on Xbox 360 500GB Console - Forza Horizon 2 Bundle: Experience Ultimate Gaming Thrill! by Brandon Frogge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overview of the FM2 kit.

Replaced my 360 Pro which was dying on me (took 9 years, pretty good) it's great only $216 500GB is huge considering how little memory 360 games take , it's the E model (last released), it's compatible with BC, looks really good next to my xbox one, runs quietly, free play is good but takes many hours to download, go to settings and set Set it to download when it's off so you can start downloads, turn it off and it'll install when you get home from work or in the morning if it was done at night. The only design flaw I think is that the eject button is next to the power button and can easily be disabled if you hold your thumb up and it's off so you can't see the eject button as it's all black but none has great value , you just have to pay attention to where the button is. Get new ones while they last, they will soon be rare and expensive, a good replacement if you have an old model, you only need a data cable to transfer your games from your old hard drive, even though you have the official Microsoft Use data cable I have read before that cheap fakes won't work. Came with a one year warranty once I registered it through Xbox Live. Tip: When you set it up for the first time, it will ask you to create an account, but you can't sign in with your current MS account, so you'll have to toggle it on/off and then go to the Home page. Login page, after that you can perform updates and connect the data cable to transfer content from the old hard drive if necessary. It didn't come with an HDMI cable as advertised, only an A/V cable for the SD connection, Revain needs to fix the listing, I already had HDMI from my old Xbox so didn't care.

Pros
  • Plenty of room for games and movies with a large 500GB hard drive.
Cons
  • Negative gift
