it's okay but if you have young kids I would recommend Wi U or PS

I got a good price on this product or I wouldn't have been able to afford it. My two boys wanted this. There are not too many games available for their ages 5 & 8. I am still trying to figure out exactly how this system works with internet connections. It came with a free 1 month subscription to Xbox gold (which seems to be a necessity) to get the full use of the system. Also, another down fall is each person needs to have an Xbox Gold membership but that is not going to happen in my household so be it. It is about 9.99 a month for a membership but I'm told they do offer "specials". We have Wi U and I prefer this for the younger kids and it really doesn't cost anything extra (except for Netflix 7.99 a month which we use anyway).. My boys Love this so I guess as long as they are happy things are good for now. As far as Kinect option goes...not worth it from what I've seen. It doesn't work that well in our very small living room...we are either too close or not in the direct viewing of it. Voice detection doesn't work great either. Sometimes it will pick up your voice sometimes it won't. The Disney game is really dumb and my kids say it is for babies. Nothing at all like the rides at Disney and the box gives the misleading description stating you can ride the rides. The adventures game is okay...better. Directions are confusing. You can NOT play doubles (two players or more) unless you have a High Def TV with a High Def connection. My kids want to play games with friends on line but they don't have any friends and when someone requests friendship I am not too keen on it. Just don't know (some of the names example...addictedtocoke...give me the creeps. Again...all in all it's okay but if you have young kids I would recommend Wi U or even Playstation (which will be our next venture.Read full review
