Xbox 360 Black 4GB Console

I got it for the music, movie and video features

I'm not a gamer and this is my first foray into any kind of game device. I do like the music and video potential of the Xbox. So far I have watched an Xbox live event, a movie via Amazon and linked to my Windows 8 (customer preview) system to stream music and videos. This looks like a winning combo.

I'm not a gamer and this is my first foray into any kind of game device. I do like the music and video potential of the Xbox. So far I have watched an Xbox live event, a movie via Amazon and linked to my Windows 8 (customer preview) system to stream music and videos. This looks like a winning combo. The controller is easy and intuitive. I have the Xbox connected to my receiver via HDMI and then to my TV. No issues with that. I also found it easy to add the Xbox to my network. At first I was worried that it only supports 100Mbps, but found no problem with HD videos. It does not support .flv format, which I find to be a limitation. As far as music goes, you can't really set up a playlist via the Xbox. I was able to create and save one on the Windows 8 machine and then access it via the Xbox. I think this this should prove to be satisfactory. I also attached a USB drive to play music. Who knows, I may even have to buy a game or two. One thing that is annoying to me is that you can't turn off the sounds generated when you move around the Xbox menu.

Pretty Handy

I don't even play video games, but this thing does a lot more than I expected.

Striped down barebones Xbox 360

Me personally I would get a bundle package 360 with a hard drive or one with atleast a hard drive. My opinion on the 4gb version is that it is a replacement unit for those who already have a xbox that quit working or want to upgrade. The cost of adding a drive later is more expensive than the extra 100 for a unit that comes with it. That is unless you buy an aftermarket hard drive. My 2cents. I...

I already had a xbox 360 (MW3 version) with the kinects when I got this one for free.

Lots of fun!

I enjoy the xbox and my 3 year old and 6 year old love to play it! I only wish I could use my own netflix account instead of having to buy Live.

This is a great product

I really like the Xbox 360 live service and its features, the built in wireless worked flawlessly, and it is dead silent when on.
