Side by Side Comparison of: Microsoft vs Sony

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!

Got this for my son.And after using it for 2 years, it has become a fixture in our living room.It literally does EVERYTHING.And if you call Sony and tell them you tried to download a trial video game, but it messed up,They will GIVE YOU MULTIPLE FREE GAMEDOWNLOADS.Great customer service. Highly recommend.

I have been using this for years now and its still running as strong as the day I bought it. I literally play this every single day, for several hours and I couldn't be much happier with my purchase. This is the perfect bundle for someone like me. I prefer to have all my games digitally downloaded so receiving the digital download code made me very happy. In the box you have everything you need to get started except for internet. Which is kind of a given. When you open the box you are given the Power Cord, The HDMI Cord, The Controller Charger, The PlayStation Console, The Controller, and as previously mentioned the digital download code for Star Wars Battle Front. The only con I've came across with this console is the storage capacity, which can be changed out with the help of some videos on you tube. I would highly recommend this product it is a lot cheaper then purchasing the console and game separately.

I decided to upgrade the hard drive to 1TB before I downloaded any games in order to prevent future storage issues. It has been a perfect system. The organization of the home screen is better than the Xbox One's home screen. As a person who owns both the PS4 and the Xbox One, i'may offering a perspective that is not based off of youtube videos. The PS4 has extremely fast processing and never freezes on me. Rest mode for the PS4 is handy when I need to use the USB ports while having the system turned off. The built-in capture card is handy, but the quality is a little disappointing. Having Battlefront in this bundle is a real treat. I never knew this before I bought the system, but the controller has a motion sensor offering quick motion based typing instead of using the normal buttons for typing. The PS4 is smaller, lighter, and faster than the Xbox One. No matter what bundle you buy, this system is definitely recommended. Sony killed it in this generation of console and I hope they continue to satisfy us customers in the future as they have with the PS4.

ordered it for Christmas...first one was defective, so I sent it back to Amazon...very little hassle, and they quickly sent me a new one. "Battlefront" is a realistic Star Wars game...but it does not come with a game CD....you HAVE to download the free game from the internet onto the system...it literally took 3 days for it to download and install...I talked to a guy, and he said if you have wireless, you may want to plug the PS4 directly into the box...he assured me that the game would have loaded much faster....anyway...the game finally loaded...and my boys, ages 8 and 10 love it, as well as the PS4 itself. I also bought them Minecraft which is their favorite, as well as the Disney Infinity/Star Wars/Avengers starter sets. At first they didn't play with the Infinity too much...it seemed like they were always playing Minecraft or Battlefront...but lately I have noticed they have been playing the Infinity game a lot more. Very satisfied with the purchase...my kids love it, and I hate to admit it, but I do too....especially the Battlefront game...just don't tell my wife.

From streaming HD content to graphics-intensive gaming, I'm really enjoying the PS4. It's a big improvement to the PS3, even as popular as it was. The aesthetics are nice and remind me of Alienware (back before Dell got ahold of it) and the placement of the fans is on-point. The interface is easy to navigate and intuitive even for people who don't use gaming consoles often. I enjoy how they have integrated the controller's use more effectively into the PS4, the touch pad a clever feature that I use surprisingly often. The fact that you can download apps/updates and charge controllers in rest mode is AMAZING. And not having to worry about your game app closing... I just adore it. There is little to no buffer time transitioning between applications, which is handy for those of us that switch frequently between Destiny and HULU.Worth every penny!

I'll try and keep this review short and to the point.First, the PS4 is an amazing console. Games install, and download quickly(something that was a problem with the Xbox One), the graphics arenot high end PC graphics, but at the price, definitely worth it.The controller is a very comfortable controller and looks sharp.Secondly, Star Wars Battlefront.This game is a hotbed of controversy.It isn't what we asked for(SWBF2 but in HD), but for what it is, it does it's job.If you like Call of Duty, you will like this game.It's fast-paced and fun, but the gameplay isn't deep.The graphics are stunning and are the major selling point of the game.Sound is also very good, and blasters and the like sound as they should.Thirdly, the other games.The classic Star Wars games included are fun distractions, but nothing really meaningful.As a bundle, this is a great deal and worth it for new PS4 players.

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'm a PS3 user and this new console is a big step forward. Really interesting features, more speed, and graphics in a whole new level. I am very disappointed by the lack of backward compatibility. The game included, just amazing.

Graphics are amazing. It is the perfect system for one person play. It only came with one controller so I purchased a second. This replaced the Wii my 6 year old and I used to play together. The sadness comes from the fact that most games do not seem to offer 2 person play mode. If they do, it does not seem easy to figure out. This is supposed to be a bonding moment for my son sand I, not for me to sit and watch him. If I am mistaken please let me know. Love the graphics in the PS 4 and had a PS2 years ago, but am starting to wish Wii/Nintendo made a competent system that had great graphics but stayed with the nunchuck controller. This is beautiful but disappointing for 2 person play. The only option is to sign up for plastation plus at $50 a year for each account.where the PS allowed you to play two player and sign in to download games. It isn'T right.

The PS4 is a good system, useful as a blu-ray player, media center, and gaming console. Really, a review isn't going to sway you on the console, you'll know if you want it or not. There's no catches, it's sturdy, exactly what you expect if you've owned a PS3.The games are a different story. There are tons of different bundles for the PS4. This one includes a total of 5 games, all Star Wars related. I'm a Star Wars fan, but even I can admit not all of these games are great.Battlefront: It's the only game of the package originally designed for the PS4, and it shows. The graphics are beautiful. That said, single player is a joke, consisting of a small handful of skirmishes. To get any real play out of it, you'll need PS Plus to play online, which will set you back $50 a year. It's a good value, but something to think about. Personally, II even found the multiplayer mostly lacking, but I suppose it was enjoyable enough.Jedi Starfighter: Originally made for PS2, the graphics hold up OK, but nothing to write home about. The gameplay is fun, fast, and exhilarating. Very enjoyable, and personally I would chose this bundle for this game alone.Bounty Hunter: Also originally for PS2, graphics have held up as well as Starfighter's did. The story is fun, playing as Jango is a blast, very solid game.Racer's Revenge: Pod racing! Many would say this is the best thing to come out of Episode I. Great game.Super Star Wars: Originally for the Super Nintendo, the 2-D graphics take some getting used to. That said, the gameplay is solid, if still Nintendo Hard, even on easy mode. It's a challenge, and can be frustrating, but very fulfilling when you make progress,NB: All 5 games are digital downloads. You'll need to hook the system up to the internet (either wi-fi or wired) to be able to download them. Once downloaded all 4 remakes are totally offline, but battlefront will need internet for multiplayer.Also note that the bundle comes with one controller. For local multiplayer you'll need to purchase another one.

Picked this up for $350 on a Black Friday deal. I guess I wasn't aware that you have to pay to play on PS4's new online network, PlayStation®Plus. It's $50 for a year subscription, and I still haven't bought it yet. For offline games, the graphics are fantastic and I mainly bought the PS4 for when Kingdom Hearts 3 releases. I used up my 3-day free PlayStation®Plus trial, and I had a lot of fun playing Battlefront, but I'm just really disappointed that the PS network isn't free anymore.

I'm reviewing what I bought only. Not the future of the system's potential. Not banging on the battle drum of which console is going to win this gen's favor, which is like coke and pepsi if you ask me.I'm very happy with my purchase of this PS4 Bundle. I've been saving up for 2 years. I was a bit upset to see the price jump from $350 to $400 when I finally went to buy it, but I can't blame them. You get 5 games with this:PS4 BattlefieldN64 Pod RacerPS2 Space FighterPS2 Bubba Fett storySuper Nintendo Star WarsComments on the Console itself:-The options button is in a weird spot, it doesn't feel natural to hit it, and being that it took over the "Start" button this becomes a annoyance.-There is a light on the controller that you can't turn off,you can dim it but not turn it off completely.=It uses a Micro USB to charge, which feels like a flimsy, easy to bend spot, I figure it's designed well but I'm not sure why they didn't just go ahead and use a USB 3.0, it charges faster and is newer technology.-Cant give yourself a new PSN name+Uses the same wires as the 3, just encase you loose/break them.+Rest Mode, which is like a Standby for you to jump back into the same moment Hrs later. uses low electricity.Comments on the Main Game (you know the reason you bought this one):<Offline Experience Review->There are only 3 modes for the "Single" player:*Training- Fly a ship around for about 4 minutes, and the only time you get to pilot in Single Player.*Battle- Like Deathmatch but makes you collect tokens from the AiBot you just killed, first to 100 wins. It has a "Hero" selection where you get to play as an OP "Cameo" Character that doesn't let you go into 1st person mode because they had to pay those copyright fees and by golly are going to get the most of it.*Survival-The best mode IMO, last man alive feel. Hold out for 15 waves, occasional AT-ST that makes you feel pretty vulnerable, and the only solo replay value I see.+Graphics+really well done, the motions are fluid and look real, along with the textures and fabric, Faces are always odd but the first look at whats to come from Next Gen.-Install-After the 20GB download you have/get to play as Invulnerable Vader and take out "Rebel Scum" as the game installs. Neat feature but after about 30 mins I got bored, then when it hit the HR mark at 36% I got frustrated and found myself <SearchEngine>ing it to see some people got stuck in this purgatory for about 4hrs. Do yourself a favor and PUT YOUR SYSTEM IN REST MODE AS IT INSTALLS and it will shoot by in about 15 mins (don't quote me on that but it's way less) if nothing else then I hope you read that.-TheRocketLauncher- I'm sorry I mean "Torpedo", won't let you fire at anything other than Vehicles.The price you pay but gets you through survival.-Endor'sBrush- I wish you could hide in it and sniper off but instead you get a auto target plastered on your head like you are wearing a LightTower for a hat.All in all System **** (4 Stars)Game *** (3 Stars)Maybe If I could spend the $15/month to get online I would see more value, but for that price I'll just get GameFly with New Games starting at $60 just to be like this and 1886.

Bought this for my kids for Christmas, all I had heard for months now is they wanted a Playstation 4 with Battlefront. They loved it, the only bummer thing is it took almost all day to download the game into the system, thankfully they had something else to occupy their time while waiting to dive into the game. They are happy so I am happy.

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.

I do enjoy PS4 more than Xbox1 but there are so many annoying glitches. I am periodically disconnected because of a PS4 LAN issue, which is very frustrating when you have a wired connection. The Applications close up, and EA wont get on the ball and fix their issues. Besides small annoying things, it's a great system.

I did like PS4 at first. We used it for a lot of things. Then the remote just decided to not turn on or charge. So I had to pay for shipping it to them to fix. They shipped it back pretty quickly and it worked. Okay, whatever. But now my system won't turn off. It will power off and then turn on by itself. I think it's the remote somehow triggering it. Now I have to go through the hassle again, and it's not like I can email them and tell them what's going on at my convenience.. No. I have to wait for their PT business hours to "chat" with someone. Unacceptable. This product is so expensive, they could certainly afford a 24 hour call line, or at least give the option to email. There is no way it should be breaking within 6 months, am I right? Two times. I don't have the time or money to be sending all this back in, but I'm responsible for shipping their DEFECTIVE products back to them. Why? We had an Xbox for YEARS before this, never once did we have an issue with it.

The R2 trigger on the controller is clearly broken. When pressed it stays down as if there is no spring to pop it back up. The screws on the back have been greatly scratched which leads me to believe some one has disassembled the controller and removed the R2 tiger spring. This is not what I would expect when I buy something that is described as in "Very Good condition".

This item comes as advertised, but it isn't a great product. Beware if buying this item as a gift- it isn't quite as easy as plug and go. You will have to download the latest PS operating system update on a separate device and save to an external drive, then plug to your PS4 to get started. It will also take at least 5-7 hours with a good internet connection to download and install the games advertised in the bundle as "Battlefront" edition.You would be smarter to buy the PlayStation 4, and the Star Wars games separately unless you really appreciate delayed gratification.

We started using this PS4 unit on 12/25/15. It died 01/09/16. We did have problems with it before it completely died. It would freeze and shut itself off. We would then have to restart it. We are returning this unit for another. Hopefully the 2nd PS4 will be problem free and will last longer than 2 weeks. We unfortunately had a game disc in the unit when it died and cannot get it out. There are YouTube videos that show how to get a disc out manually but this unit is different than what they have. There is no magic eject screw on this unit where their units have one. It looks like the kid's beloved Minecraft game is gone for good :( We like the PS4, just wished it worked.

I am trying to use the code for the "star wars BATTLEFRONT" game but it says that The code is incorrect.I need the solution please.

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.[...]

Purchased for Christmas 2015. Now March 2016 the controller that came with the PS4 has buttons that stopped working. I don't know if there is any way of correcting this since I ordered it through Amazon.

Not worth it at all if you are not going to use the online multi-player aspects of the game. Lousy for a stand alone for single player. Bought for my son whom I do not want venturing online just yet.

Bundle did not include Battlefront game or voucher and or downloaded on system!

A bit of a disappointment. PS4 is ok compared to PS3. Graphics on Madden and Star Wars seems amazing. Gameplay on the Star Wars game is disappointing. Annoyingly multi-player DOESN'T WORK unless you get additional Playstation $$$network$$$. Won't be playing this game ever again. Madden at least has some value but similar Playstation network is needed for some of the modes.

4 Digital box indicates the code and none came. You can not play with the console.

I think these new gamming systems main objective is to try to get you to sign up for every gaming and video service available my god all the crap they preinstall on these systems and try to get you to subscribe to is ridiculous.Main reason we got this bundle was for the battlefront game my son was so excited for the game only to NOT find the card with the code in the box we even went to dumping all the wrapping paper out of the garage bag looking for.Can you actually play anything without needing to have a ps4 account and downloading everything???? My kids got several games with their ps4 for Christmas but the disks seem to have no content and require you to download first, and asking kids to wait hours for games to download...right. Why do these systems have to be linked to just about every online social media and game network? We just want to put in a freakin disks and play the game!!!!!! Which doesn't seem possible anymore.

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.

This was supposed to come with a download code for star wars battlefront - the fode has been used so I had to buy it myself.

the playstation 4 came to me with a factory error called CE-34878-0, that makes the game constantly closing, this error has occurred a lot of times in the multiplayer of call of duty black ops 3. I wonder how long has warranty the console, so that I can make a change for another playstation 4.thank you

Worst experience I've ever had with warehouse deals. Console worked for a little while but soon started to crash within a minute - 10 minutes of playing any game. Error code ce-34878-0 kept popping up

I love the console and the included Star Wars Battlefront game; however, the PlayStation store is nothing but pure frustration. Trying order anything off the PlayStation Store with a valid credit card almost never works. It was a huge disappointment getting this console for the holidays, only to be unable to load any new games onto it from the online store. Every time you attempt to process a transaction it gets denied with a generic error message "missing charges." Customer support is absolutely nonexistent and the consumer is left completely on their own trying to figure out how everything works. Unless you are planning on only purchasing games on DVD, this piece of garbage gets an F minus in the ability to download active content. There is absolutely nothing worse than having children standing around wanting to play the new console and the parent can't get the damn thing to work. Sony's Playstation.com has been hacked so many times they have now gone to the opposite extreme and made legitimate transactions impossible.

I was pretty excited to get the ps4 today I hooked it up set up my new account and to find out the battlefront code has already been used so instead for a new consol that I could I gotten for 30 dollars more I went this this one and I'm stuck with it and the code isn't even included what a joke if you're looking for a bundle look else where and instead of it being used go with a new one 30 dollars more is well worth it rather then being played

PlayStation is great. It was a for my son for Christmas. BUT IT WAS MISSING THE DOWNLOAD CODE FOR BATTLEFRONT!
