4GB XBOX 360 Console + Kinect Sensor + Adventures + Disneyland

Firstly it is important to note that this comes with 2 games, Disneyland Adventures as mentioned in the product description but also Kinnect Adventures which is not mentioned. I had specifically wanted the latter so was very frustrated after ordering it as an additional item to find it included with the product and then had some problems getting a full refund from Amazon as they initially tried to deduct the cost of return carriage. That all said this product is so much better than the Wii I had previously. On the Wii you could lie on the sofa and play many games with a simple flick of the wrist. No such lazy option here. I bought this to help with my own fitness levels and after trying it just a couple of times I am convinced it will do just that. As mentioned in other reviews, you do need to ensure you have adequate space. It says to site the Kinnect sensor between 2 and 6 feet from the ground. Well I could only manage it at 18 inches above the ground but it still works perfectly. Also if space is a problem there are lens adapters available on Amazon which, from the reviews, reduce the space required. One other extra that may be required is a mount for the sensor if you want it to sit on top of the TV. Overall, a brilliant product that I hope will help remove some of the Christmas excess.

it was for the wrong region so set up in different language- Asian- had to send it back. Don't buy unless you speak Chinese.

Hey all I only recently joined the xbox revolution, i usually play ps3, but got one to play online with my daughter. I have to say im astounded. It great i can talk to me daughter and not even have to be in the same game! I like the menu or home bar or what its called, the online game play is great, not sure about the Gold service but i go with it. Also love the free games from xbox every month. As for the hardware its now very small and lightweight, looks good and is supposed to be whisper quiet, that part is not quite true and the fan can be clearly heard and it also heats up a lot but i presume this is all normal. The memory is 4GB on board, this is boostable, i personally bought a 320gb hard drive from amazon and just slotted it in. Was very easy and cheap. Inside the box there are various vouchers and freebees, points, gold memberships and others. There were also a few games for the kinect. My advice is to purchase a clip/ stand that holds the kinect on the TV, its not expensive and the kinect works much better. Overall i think the xbox is catching playstation for value and playability but the let down of the missing bluray player (remedied in the xbox one) is really the only downside.

At the time I bought it the deal with the Kinect Sensor was good value for money compared with all but one other supplier. Does what one might expect.

the xbox 360 is NOT the best console you can get. ps3 is. you have to pay for xbox online!

As others before have said, this bundle has Kinect Adventure AND Kinect Disneyland Adventure. Also included is a 1 month trial to Xbox Live, still to try this! Easy to set up and playing in less than 15 minutes. it does need a system update if you connect to the internet, you can opt to do this later if you REALLY want to get playing. You will need a Hard Drive to play to older xbox games and if you wish to download trial games you will fast fill the 4gb memory, worth buying a separate hard drive to install yourself though rather than buying the more expensive 250gb option though. Happy Playing.

good

Just arrived, as advised for and surprisingly extra game ! "Kinect Adventures! - Kinect " kids , adults, Sr. are amazed with it , I'm already planning to buy the new one when it comes out. I think it's much better way for kids to spend their time in front of a screen :).

ABOUT KINECT: One word. AWESOME. Kinect is the only sensor based console which doens't require holding some remote in your hand unlike the PS3 move and the WII. The wii was known for its gameplay, not graphics. You know being interactive and all. The PS3 made it better by giving great graphics WITH sensor based games when they made the ps3 move. The XBOX took that to the next next level, by giving super awesome graphics, make it sensor based AND not require any annoying controls to buy with it like the PS3 move remote or the wii nunchuck or whatever. So its a step ahead of them both! In a way, you are almost like IN THE GAME.. every crazy thing you do in real life infront of your kinect is somehow programmed to make an effect inside the game. ABOUT THIS DEAL: Great deal. Even if I hadn't gotten it for 220 $ on the lightning deal, I would still buy it at its current price. Around 260$ I think? The games that come with it are very much fun. They don't test the ability of xbox's graphics but are fun and they do test kinects interactive and receptive sensor based gameplay. HAven't played the disney game cuz it looked childish but the adventures game is way too much fun. It came 2 days before it was supposed to be delivered, packing was easy to open, everything was in there, top notch condition, NO problems at all. I connected it hassle free, with HDMI or regular A/V cords that came with it. Super fun. Super awesome game. A lot of room infront of the TV helps but is not a necessity. Big TV's enhance the experience. I have a 40'' one and it is out of this world to play games on this baby. Get this game called ' Rise of nightmares ' if you think interactive game play is for kids and families and is all just goodie two shoes fun. Trust me, its an awesome game to be playing on the kinect.

Well, my order is on the status: shipping soon. What I did today was to review and look for some extra information about the xbox 360, suddenly I saw a picture shared by customers and the comment says: Xbox 360 needs a hard drive to run original xbox games. That totally surprised me, because I didn't see any comment on amazon's description and after reading it three times I didn't find that information, that even the official xbox's web page has on it. So, I called the amazon's customer service to ask for an answer for that missing information but three different agents didn't understand what I tried to say. They assured that the information is on the page, however, I'm still waiting for the screenshot from them that proves what they are saying; they couldn't help me. They are showing fake information and that causes customers feeling cheated like I feel right know. The customer service's supervisor told me that I have to look for that extra information before buying on amazon, so my question is: does the information provided by amazon is fake? The company is the one that it's telling me that. Be careful if you have old xbox games and you are going to buy this product.

All the extra space is eaten up by all the updates that required by Microsoft. We had to finally put a flash drive into the system, to keep up with all the space being taken up by the constant updates. It seems everytime you turn on the XBox it is downloading updates. At one time, we couldn't even use the Kinect because we had to download an update, but we didn't have any space on the XBox for the update. That is when we figured out how to install the Flash Drive. And we haven't downloaded any games or content, it is all updates from Microsoft.

This is a pretty good deal except it didn't come with a hard drive, so many games cannot be saved. Had to purchase a hard drive separately which added over $100 to the final price.

It is amazing what this game console does. Clear and fast graphics. Amazing game pad. Voice recognition. Media player. Social interaction via Internet. It is packed full of fun features to use and explore. Since Microsoft is all about making money, they have made it easy to spend... just one click away using a credit card and their Micro-bucks (which are valued higher than U.S. Dollars). This could be unfortunate in the hands of someone who is financially immature or a video-game adict. The Kinect sensor promises so much, but is finicky. I am six feet tall and visually impared... this thing hates me. It insists that I be 8 feet away from it (where I can't read the TV screen), and if I move closer it pauses whatever is going on and tells me to stand back. Definitely NOT for small rooms. I also bought the wireless Speed Wheel to play a boat racing game that came pre-loaded on the Xbox; but it does not have "bumpers". Since the Wheel is not programmable, they suggest on their web site that you use a game's options to reassign needed functions... which you cannot do. How frustrating !
