Microsoft Xbox One 500GB w/ Kinect

Update September 2018 I've not had a single issue with my Xbox. It's still running strong and with a 6 TB external hard drive, there is no issue storing everything I need and easily taking it with me. Normally when I do these updates, I can name something or another that has worn out or isn't as good, but I can honestly say with the new updates, it's faster and more responsive; I forget that I a) bought it refurbished and b) bought it almost 4 years ago. I'm looking at buy an Xbox One X soon so I can give this to my nephew. He has a PS2, PS3, and PS4 but is always at my house on my Xbox when I'm not. I can't say that Xbox is better than PlayStation because my last experience was the tragedy called Gran Turismo 5 where they basically took an amazing racing simulation franchise (Gran Turismo 4 which was not only a great game but an amazing 3 part soundtrack) and tried to follow it up with something modeled after Crazy Taxi or something similar (I finished Gran Turismo 5 in 2 days thinking I had purchased a demo, returned to the store to find out the low price was a clearance price because the game was awful). Oh, and refurbished or new, you'll continue to get free prioritized support if you subscribe to Office 365. I found that out when I was having an issue that turned out to be a day that Xbox Live was experiencing issues. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I actually work customer service for this device. Keep in mind: refurbished doesn't always actually mean used. In my case, the only thing that was used was the controller and the power cord. I verified the serial number and the console, Kinect, and headset were all brand new and I have the full 1 year warranty on that. With a Kinect adapter, you can use the Kinect with a Windows 10 pc. The Xbox app is amazing. Pause a game in one room and play in another just by taking the controller. Streaming the Xbox to your computer does NOT use your Internet connection, which is great if you have a limited plan. The streaming of your Xbox to your PC uses your local area network, NOT the internet. However, you will need Internet for the interface of the Xbox app to load. Also, the Smart glass app is so cool. You can easily control your console or have a full keyboard to type using your phone. I could go on and on, but it's like this; this console is a PC, not just a gaming console. If you want something that can do far more than just play a game, you will love your Xbox one. Don't be afraid of the 500 gb storage, either. You can easily use an external USB 3.0 hard drive to expand your space (excellent for your movies and music as well).
