Side by Side Comparison of: dreamGEAR vs Microsoft

One of the rest retro toys out there. My 8 yo loves it and all his friends think this is so cool. The machine works very well.

Lots of fun games to play. Screen is small but easy to see.

Great picture quality, surprising really. A good gift idea for a brother-in-law you don't know what to buy. ;)

Got this for my hubby...he liked it. Its on his desk at work.

its awesome yes small screen buttons do stick but its cheap and does have good clone games#1 1942#2 spy hunter#6 zaxxon#23 gforce#34 wack-a-mole#76 defender#79 load runner#89 centipede#93 mappy#96 digdug 2#110 xevious#125 battleship#127 arkanoid#130 space invaders#134 galaga#142 kaboomand thats just the ones i found so far so don't let the negative reviews stop you

Works perfectly and comes with everything you need to plug in and use right away.

This xbox came just as expected- perfect and only $149.99. The design is sleek and beautiful and compared to the original 360 this one is as quiet as the night itself. One of my only complaints was the removal of the optical audio out but it isn't a game changer and if I had to buy it again I would of. On another note it just has 4gb of internal memory but that can be remedied with flash drives- which works with most of my games. If you need a gaming system and one on a budget this is the way to go- or you could just save up a bit longer and get the Xbone!Team Xbox~

Easy and quick set up, runs great and great size. I've had a elite 360 since 2009 and the hard drive finally had an error 68 and with the disc tray broken I decided to just replace the console. The E version is space saver and with more USB ports and built in wifi means I have less accessories connected and can have more storage devices or different accessories connected at once. I like my purchase and recommend it if you're looking to replace an older 360 but don't want to move to an Xbox one yet. Most of my games still haven't been made Xbox one compatible so I'm staying in the older gen for a bit longer. And the price is great! Shipping was fast with prime and I have no complaints with the product. It is as described by the vendor.

Great graphics, very silent, powerful, and versatile. Keep in mind that there is a difference between this Xbox, and an Xbox slim. If you want to save your games though, make sure you order a USB hard drive or flash drive over 64 GB to go with it. Due to its small memory, it's runs out of space before you realize it. Don't get the Microsoft 320 GB hard drive because it's not worth it. That costs $120, meanwhile Amazon has a good supply of 500 GB hard drives, for only $60!!! Half the price, for 280 more GB! If your not a pro gamer though and you use music and movies and all that other stuff, all you need is a USB flash drive. Great product, but just not enough memory. But on the other hand if you CAN afford a 250 GB Xbox, go for it. You'll waste time and effort to order a hard drive.

My other xbox was too fat and needed an Ethernet cord, so I booted him out for this skinny stud in all his wifi goodness, now I can still enjoy gta v, while my ps4 continues to lay there and not come out with any games

I had an old XBox Arcade that had been through a lightning storm and had lost its HDMI port and network connection. I had been trying to squeeze a few more months out of it by buying the wireless network adapter and component cable. I couldn't get the wireless adapter to work because the XBox kept thinking there was a network cable plugged in even though there wasn't. Even though the video was acceptable the inner fan kept getting louder and louder and I knew the ship was going down. I finally broke down and bought this new XBox.I bought an empty slim hard drive case because I wanted to use the drive out of my old machine. I disassembled the old drive case and put it into the one I bought and it works perfectly. You could certainly do this with a new 2.5" hard drive as well. If you can get these hard drive-less XBoxes cheap you can definitely save yourself some money with a little work for which you can find directions online. The new XBox works great and I have another controller now. It has wired and wireless internet built in which worked immediately once I connected it to Wifi. I'm back on XBox Live and playing on a quiet XBox!

Many useless games, but also some good ones. In summary for the price you get some OK games to play while taking a break in your office. Don't expect any real arcade hits in this one but also worth the price to kill some time.

Got it for my Son. Entertaining!

This machine is great! High quality construction, great price. I wish it would allow you to install real arcade games though. These are all home brew style. While they are entertaining, it's nothing like the real games. If they would come up with a version that accepts a memory card to play like MAME machines that would be perfect!Screen is nice and bright, with great resolution. The built in games will keep you entertained for many hours. Looks great sitting next to my collection of mini arcade games.For the price, you can't beat what you get. Great quality. I can't figure out how they sell it so cheap!

I have not opened this or tried it out yet as it will be a 'historical' gift for my son's birthday. He was born in 1985 and these kind of game were 'the boss' back then.

My husband loved it but needs directions for certain games...he'll give you five stars for some directions.

8 yr old very interested, however machine malfunctioned ,screen was cut in half vertically, cant play games any longer.......not cut with any sharp object, you can only read half screen is what I meant

My console came and all the graphics/words are in Japanese.

My 10 year old pushed this poor thing to 'the red circle of death' but I think it was mostly because it was a lemon. The reason I say that is I bought the same exact model and so far so good with way more of a work (play) load. Get the 2 year warranty, don't be stubborn like me and think you don't need it. Like I said, I had to buy another one....

Over all it worked pretty well but we had a problem with it trying to turn it on, it made a buzzing sound and showed no picture but it eventually worked, then the wireless connection went faulty but that fixed itself as well, we had no idea why this happened but it's working now

An very good gaming machine to play and have fun, also it is a very nice to have in the living room.

For the price i got it at, it was well worth it. Shipped ok and on time. If you're looking for a more permanent one, look into more storage unless you want to pay a great deal more for the extra storage.

My son's brother took our old xbox this is great for gaming and playing movies.The price was right didn'twant to buy the new version just yet.

i don't know the 99% of the games :P

It's ok my son used it for about 10minutes then was bored

A good recommendation for children to engage in for relaxation and fun. Both my kids enjoy playing and exploring all the games in 1 awesome machine.

Cool concept, a little difficult to play the games due to size of controller.

Super tiny

It's fun, but really what I wanted. I searched for a donkey Kong retro came and this one shan't have it

4G isn't enough for saving progress, but you can throw a couple 32G memory sticks in the USB slots. Get the 3.0 vs. 2.0 memory.. 2.0 takes too long to save.

The controller is apparently used. The upper left and right buttons are useless and don't work. I have had to invest in a new controller. That makes the price of this combo... not worth it.

Randomly crashed less than a year after I got it. Didn't get the supplemental warranty. Very bummed.

Console was in perfect condition but the controller that came with it had a broken battery pack and a broken left bumper. Also there was gunk and grime in every crevise of the controller. Nasty..

Have had issues with this xbox twice in seven months where I've had to send it back to be fixed. Microsoft gave us the runaround the first time, but eventually fixed the issue. Was quick the second time around. Haven't had an issue with it since.

DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE OR WANT TO BUY HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO HEADPHONES!! Unless you have a TV that has a Optical Audio slot, normally only Smart TVs has it. That is because this model of Xbox 360 has no slot for optical audio, so your TV need to have this. I bought it, and I cant use my Turtle Beach X42 anymore. The advantages of this console are minimum, it produces less sound and is a little bit smaller.

arrived not working. we returned. it turned on, but once you selected the game you wanted to play, the screen just went white

Really way too small and doesn't even has Pacman (I don't remember if they advertise it, but it's not there). Plenty of games of really low level graphic, complexity etc,, some of them hard to understand. Maybe use it as a decoration, the way Superman makes a cameo appearance in every Seinfeld episode:).

The photo on this item is a bit misleading. This is not a mini-tabletop console, it is more of a micro unit. There is almost no way you can play with the tiny buttons and joystick and viewing on the micro screen is difficult at best. If you are wanting a table-top arcade unit, this is not it.

The screen is very tiny and I did not even recognize the games. Very disappointed. I was at least expecting to see some game names I recognized...instead I saw things like: Checkers, Chess, poker, blackjack

This product is way too small. It is not worth the money. Shouldn't be more than $10. I would not recommend this product.

Son ordered it on accident. I tried it, its made of cheap plastic and very flimsy. it is very light and it will not hold up to a small child, the joysticks are very loose and wobbly, and the lcd screen is only viewable from strait on.

As with all xboxs, disc reading laser went bad within one year. Ill never buy an xbox again.

I purchased this product 1 month ago. When it was delivered it did not have a power cord or a controller. I am working out of the country, and can not simply go to a local store and buy what I need. Now I am buying a controller and a power cord separately. At the cost of an additional $60. This lays on the edge of false advertisement, the picture displayed is simply not what you get. I would avoid this purchase if possible, unless you enjoy making extra orders to get what you need. In that case, enjoy!!

I have a bad system it won't read my games

I used it for about and hour and a half, and it froze while I was playing Madden 25.Also there are manual buttons on this 'Xbox 360 E' version, amd not touch buttons like the 'Xbox 360 S' version. This box looks and feels cheap.For a full review check out the CNET review.[...]

Did not work

Turned on and only white screen displays, has noise but still displays white screen.

buttons to small for adult but may be fine for a child

The worst ítem to buy.

Item arrived broken

A bunch of useless games. Not anything like the real ones. I kept looking through the 200 games. All garbage and nothing even closely resembling the real ones I grew up with. Names like "police dog lasy" , "rescue kuck " , "aweful rushing"-the names give no clue what the game is about. The games themselves are really bad. Don't waste your money.I got as a gift

So I got what I thought was "refurbished" Xbox 360 - go to set it up with my holster on Christmas morning and it has all of the previous owners information on it of which I can't even change because the previous owners had a passcode. If I could give negative stars I would

If you are buying this console from within the US or Canada please note that this product will not play any of your US or Canadian games or DVD's as it is a region 4 console. There is no mention of this in the product description and I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why it would not play my DVD's before finally realizing this product had the wrong region code on it. I would have never have purchased this product had I known it was not a region 1 console. This should be in bold type in the description so people in different parts of the world can be sure to get a console that is compatible with the area they live in. I looked through many of the other descriptions on other xbox consoles and noticed none of them were listing the region so be sure to ask before buying any game console online.

Box arrived and clearly recycled as it was not sealed. Same for the material inside the box to wrap the console, cables, etc. When I went to register the console on my Xbox Live account, using Serial Number on console, it came up as a XBOX 360 S!!!!! My live account also included an entry for associated Kinect, which was not included. Finally, warranty is valid throught May 27, 2016 - not even 3 months. Also, the unit will not read game discs that worked on old console. Might get 1 in 30 attempts to read game disc properly.Clearly, this is a refurbished system and I WILL be sending it back for refund.

Stopped reading discs 2 days after the return deadline. Go figure. Another piece of garbage.

does not work the DVD reader

I got the thing and it immediately destroyed my favorite game disk. I am not impressed at all.
