Bang for your buck

Overall a really good console for the price. Runs Master Chief Collection, Overwatch, Call of Duty Warzone flawlessly, even at 120 FPS. With game pass this is a really good budget console. The only real issues I see now and that could definitely be problematic down the road are the lack of a disc drive and the low storage space. The box says 512 GB in the SSD but the actual usable storage is only around 330 GB. Understandable and consistent with other modern consoles, but for a console that's all digital, being low on space can be a real concern. The 1TB SSD expansion card would definitely help but I feel at that point if you want a higher storage capacity you'd be better off just getting a Series X instead, since it comes with 800 usable GB of storage without need for expansion, as well as the other improvements such as a disc drive. And not having a disc drive can be an issue for someone upgrading from an xbox one or even from an xbox 360 to a Series. You cannot play your disc games on a Series S, and if you want to play them on it, you'll have to buy them all over again, given the games are even available at all on the store to begin with.
This review may seem overall negative but it's largely just because of a couple major concerns that I feel people would run into down the line. But the console itself runs games great, and allows access to everything on the xbox one store as well as potential Series exclusives and upgrades. I'd say this console is best for someone who wants an xbox, who didn't own a One to begin with. So this should be seen as more of an entry level console.

TL:DR; Runs games really well, allows access to upgrades and exclusives, but the lack of a disc drive and low storage space can be an issue for someone looking to upgrade from a previous xbox console.

Improved Xbox One controller
on November 20, 2020
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall, this is basically just an XBOX One controller, but with some improvements. The sticks don't clack as loud as an original xbox one controller. The share button helps without having to press home + x/y every time you want to take a capture. The sticks are a bit stiff but just feel like they need to be broken in. The D-Pad is a lot more comfortable to use than the One's D-Pad. The only real issues I have is a lack of motion controls for potential improvements in aiming, like a switch pro controller or a PS4 controller. And there is still no included recharging battery or cable, so you still have to either buy a rechargeable battery or buy AA batteries.
If you like the Xbox One controller, this is an objective improvement.

Good drive after initialization

This drive deleted all of my save data not stored on the cloud, including an incomplete 50 hour long Persona 5 Royal save file. But since I initialized it, it's worked flawlessly. Just wish I didn't have to lose all of my save files.

One of my favorite amiibo figures yet
on August 7, 2020
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
I don't know much about Castlevania or care at all about Richter. But this figure is so well sculpted and painted that I couldn't pass it up. The cloth folds are all super well crafted, as well as the facial features being incredible on a figure so small. Just an overall excellent figure.

Get three times the mayhem, three times the loot, and three times the action with the Borderlands Legendary Collection. Kill bandits and beasts, collect powerful weaponry, and maybe even save the universe in Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, Borderlands 2, and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, along with piles of bonus add-on content for each game, adding over 100 hours of gameplay at an amazing value.*

Surprised at how good this is on Switch.
on August 7, 2020
Posted by: John
Verified Purchase:Yes
While it is unfortunate that only the first game is on the cartridge and the other games are about 30+ GB, this is the best handheld version of these games. Although the games do have issues running with a lot of effects or enemies on screen. Thankfully those moments are few and far between. Also, the game does have some longer loading times but I don't mind it much. Loading screens generally took about 20-45 seconds when loading new areas. Overall, this is a good version of a great set of games on a handheld, no less.

Good controller.

I have some bad history with how fragile PS4 controllers can be. This is my third one. They feel good to use but I can't say that they last too long. After even just a few months of prolonged use my last controller's R2 and right stick stopped working. Hopefully this new one sticks. Also, the purple color is cool.

Explore a fantastical adventure world to defeat a bodybuilding dragon and his minions using real-life exercises. Traverse grass-swept plains by jogging in place, attack enemies with overhead shoulder presses, and refill your health meter by striking some yoga poses. Two new accessories, Ring-Con and Leg Strap, measure your real-world actions and help turn them into in-game movements. With additional mini games, Ring Fit Adventure is a great escape for players of all skill levels and schedules. In the Adventure mode, defeat enemies with attacks based on real-world exercises. As you work through each level (and possibly work up a sweat), you'll earn experience points. Between fights, you may encounter some unusual methods of transportation, such as squat-powered launch pads and more. Want to compete with others? Pass around the Ring-Con accessory, and select from a few mini games: break boxes with gusts of air, craft pottery using squats and more.

I expected this to just be a casual game with some slight exercise elements. But you can really get a whole routine out of this. I can see myself losing some weight to this in the future.

I'd say, if you can afford it, bypass any smaller SD cards and jump to this one or something of a higher size. If you plan on buying lots of digital games on switch, this is definitely a must.

I bought this for a friend the week of black friday for $200. But even at $300 this is still a pretty good deal. The game selection included is top notch and I hope to see more bundles like this in the future.
