Microsoft XBOX 360 Holiday Bundle w/Skyrim & Forza 4 250 GB Hard Drive Microsoft XBOX 360 Holiday Bundle w/Skyrim & Forza 4 250 GB Hard Drive

Pros: DAT PRICE! amazing.

360 slim is boss and cant complain

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: ive been back and forth with the xbox 360 and ps3 and owned almost every model of them both including the superslim ps3 and the model s xbox 360 slim.

Pros: great bundle for great price

Cons: my left analog stick went faulty suddenly, i think a new control should be sent to me.

Pros: Nice love it looks good

Cons: nothing yet

Pros: Bought this so I could upgrade and give the old system to my brother for Christmas. Love the huge memory, built in wifi, as well as the new look. Add in the games and it's just a great value that I couldn't pass up!

Cons: I wish Microsoft would include controller cables so you can use those if you don't feel like using the batteries.

Pros: It's an Xbox and it works great. Fast wireless connection, plenty of space on hard drive, lots of other entertainment options. Best game console I've ever owned.

Cons: No bluray player. I almost bought a PS3 b/c I wanted games and a BD player in one. Instead I bought the Xbox and a BD player. This was not a surprise, just a limit that will hopefully be fixed with the 720 next year.

Pros: - XBox 360 Slim model.
- Functions great as 1st XBox360 setup.
- Comes with batteries.
- COMES WITH A HEADSET!
- XBox comes installed with ~5 games (mini-games rather).
- Wireless works and detected every network around my house that my PC detects.
- Controller is wireless && comes with 1 set of AA batteries.
- Box is packaged very well - each component has it's own wrapping.
- Runs great after 1st setup - many settings such as startup/shutdown/sleep options, background downloading, joining XBOX Live (or not), games history.
- 250 GB storage - already is paying off: (Skyrim is 3.5 GB - if you get the 4 GB model and need to use a digital download [which Skyrim is], then you're already at your limit..).
- Any HDMI cable really will work (it's the small connectors) to replace the AVG standard cables.
- 1080p resolution w/ many TV resolution settings from within XBOX settings menu.
- Holiday sale prices more than make up for the total value.

Cons: - CANNOT move XBox360 while it's running with a disk inside - it'll sound like the game inside is a broken fan scraping the insides.. (any vertical movement.. aka. don't pick it up even 2")..
- No HDMI cable - the AVG cables included do not include Blue and Green (just yellow, white, red) - blue/green give you HD qualities (sortof). ANY HDMI cable will work to solve this.
- Forza 4 is NOT the full game - it's more like a demo on steroids..
- Skyrim takes a WHILE (could be days if you're using the wireless..) to download.

Other Thoughts: This XBOX 360 bundle is a great deal. Skyrim is an amazing game. I got this, an additional controller, and 2 charge-and-play kits over the holiday in order to play some games w/ co-workers (I'm really more of a PC gamer, but wth.) I wish that Forza was the full game - it's not, it's still good, but it's not the full edition. The consoles are so cheap (compared to an entire gaming PC) - but they really get you on the XBOX Live stuff - so plan for that. You don't need XBOX Live to run your games - only the online multiplayer, and various shopping features.

I would buy this again..

Pros: I've owned an Xbox 360 since '05. I do not game as much as I normally do, but saw how good the deals were going to be this year and decided it would be wise (and wouldn't hurt) to have another Xbox. I have 2 slims now. Both run great! The newer models are way better + the fact you can store games to it and save your Disc drive is amazing! Way better than older generations. I also picked up the warranty for a little extra as well. Definitely would buy again!

Cons: Only bad thing I don't know what to do with Skyrim. Not my style of gaming. I prefer racing, music games or FPS.

Pros: xbox rules

Cons: scratched up a brand new blackops 2 game

Other Thoughts: was delivered fast and was brand new so cant complain love newegg

Pros: I bought this as an (early) Xmas present for my wife, who had been begging for one for a while, and we couldn't be happier. We stayed over at my parent's home over the holidays and all had so much fun playing Skyrim and Forza 4. Of course we bought some other games for it.

My brother and I immediately became addicted to Forza 4 even though we have never played a racing game before. Because it was packaged for free, I thought it was going to be some throw-away game but as it turns out Forza 4 is incredibly enjoyable. Already my brother and I have made it halfway through the game.

My wife is really enjoying Skyrim on the Xbox after having played it on the PC. She says that, at least for her, the controls are more intuitive on Xbox.

For anyone worried about the failure rate of the Xbox, you should know that the Xbox 360 Slim is actually far more reliable than all previous versions (a failure rate of only 1.1% according to 2010 and 2011 statistics). Also, the average failure rate of all Xbox 360 makes and builds has plummeted so drastically over the years that it now matches the failure rate of the PS3 (around 6%).

250 GB hard drive is nice. Also nice that this bundle comes with a free month of Xbox live, AND a free month of Netflix! My wife and I relaxed last night by watching an cheesy episode of X-Files in bed with the XBOX :D

Cons: None! Although it amazes me how easily the power cord pops out of the adapter. Be careful with that.

Other Thoughts: I bought a wired controller to go with this, but it's great that it comes with a wireless one. We were able to play multiplayer games right off the bat. And in spite of the PITA of having to switch out batteries, it's quite nice to be able to sit back and relax with wireless.

Pros: Xbox came and arrived very quickly. 2 days to be exact. And came in great condition.

Cons: Took me way too long to hook up. The Composites didn't work at all. I kept getting a white screen. No color at all. I had to take the HDMI chord from my Ps3 to make it work. Very disappointed in that.

Other Thoughts: Overall, I would buy it again. I just wish the composites would have worked better than they did. Other than that, great product, works perfectly now that it's setup properly. Thank you for fast shipping!
