Item was shipped to me twice. The first time I ordered this, the unit looked new and untarnished. Functionality was pretty good, at least on par with normal XBox One, but the fan was making odd buzzing noises. After doing some research, this appears to be a common defect from some cheap parts that microsoft uses for the slim. Thing is, the slim is advertised as being whisper quiet, so requested a replacement and the seller had a brand new to me almost next business day (well done there). Plugged in the new one (it still looked pristine) and it purrs like a kitten.
In terms of functionality, this is basically just a smaller XBox one. Pro: it has actual buttons on the unit to press to turn on/off and eject discs, so no more accidental turn-offs while mid-game. It can also stand up, which the old XBox one could not. Con: It does not have a port for Kinect. The adapter normally is $40.00 off the microsoft store, but I read somewhere that if you had a normal XBox one registered with a Kinect and then registered the slim, they would give it to you for free (I have yet to try this since I rarely use Kinect).
All in all, I love the look of the console and how small and quiet it is. The blue color is definitely nice.

Very happy! No Complaints :) - My first console ever!
This is my very first console and I'm incredibly happy with the purchase. It is easy to set up and has been working perfectly.I definitely recommend it. Comes with 1 matching controller and a pair of AA batteries (If you haven't invested in rechargeable batteries yet, you should definitely consider it), 1 HDMI cable, and one power supply cable. Additionally, you also get a 14 day Xbox Live Gold trial! No games are included though. (At the time of purchase and of writing this review) this is listing is strictly a console, not a bundle; there are no games included in this purchase. Always read the descriptions in addition to the reviews and questions, before purchasing on Amazon-- sellers can change and the products they're selling can change.If something negative happens to alter my review, I will return to update it. I have yet to get a headset and to activate my Xbox Live Trial, but I don't anticipate any trouble there.P.S. This does not relate to the product itself, but I figure it's worth it to mention that the person who made the delivery did not ask for a signature, even though Amazon said delivery would require one. Considering I live in an apartment complex having packages delivered properly is hugely important. Had I not been home at the time anyone could have picked up my package and stolen my brand new Xbox.

I bought this back in January of this year and it the console was seemingly new. I had issues with some games not launching but it didn't bother me because they were free game Pass games.
Later on I tried playing a game that I bought from Walmart and it wouldn't launch at all. I returned it and got another copy only for it to do the same thing. It even did it on a all digital copy I bought from the Xbox Live store.
So I called Microsoft and after running the gauntlet of trouble shooting steps, they said the only thing else to do is get it repaired. They ran my console's serial number and said it was activated on 5/22/2017 and expired 5/22/2018. The only way that could of happened was that the console was in use before I bought it.
As soon as I can figure out how to upload the video of it not playing those games and simply crashing back to the home screen, I will upload it at evidence.
