I was
deciding between choosing the Xbox one S and Playstation 4 for my first
"next-gen" console. I decided to get the Xbox now and get Playstation 4
in a few more months.
I paid for 1 day delivery so I could have it for
the weekend. Packaging was clean, everything I ordered with it came
clean as well.
I did an overview and I didn't see any damaging.
With my
purchase I received a copy of Halo 5 and Ghost Recon Wildlands Gold
Edition. I downloaded the Xbox App for android the moment I received the
digital codes and redeemed them to my account. When I got the Xbox
plugged in, I got to work downloading them. Everything seems to be
running smooth, the two games are fun.
The gold edition of Ghost Recon
appears to run for about $100, so I cannot complain.
I only have 2
complaints I can make about this purchase, but neither are big enough
personally to affect my 5 star rating.
1. I know that the digital games were going to be huge, I just didn't think they would be this huge.

Ghost Recon was a 49GB download, not too bad.
Halo 5 was a
whopping 97 GB download.
That was a bit concerning as the Xbox I
purchased has only around 370ish GB of space after the OS and initial
updates.
I recommend anybody to go and get an external if they plan on
getting a ton of games.
I recommend getting a separate HDD dock that can
take and swap out 3.5 HDDs. It will end up being a cheaper option than
just a regular stand alone external HDD.
2. This 2nd negative, I wouldn't necessarily put on the Xbox, but Amazon itself.

When my Xbox
shipped, I received 1 e-mail with the digital code for Halo 5.
I never
received a second e-mail from Amazon with Ghost Recon. I was going to
message Amazon, but I decided to check my message center under account
settings.
I found out, they sent me 2 messages there. One containing the
Halo 5 code and the other Ghost Recon code.
So I would highly recommend
if you get a console with multiple digital games from Amazon, check
your message center.
I just wish Amazon would either send both e-mail
with codes or just messages on Amazon. If I hadn't looked, I probably
would have been messaging back and forth with Amazon about where my code
is at.
Overall, it's a fun console. $140 Included games doesn't hurt the purchase at all. I recommend this if you're interested in getting an Xbox.
