Xbox core console USM
I ordered this product over a month ago and never received it in the mail from the company. My six year old was running to the mail box daily to see that once again it has never came. I contacted the company without a response of course. I would suggest no one order from this company in the future.

Disappointed
As someone who loves video games, the Xbox coming out seemed to be the greatest thing ever. Notice the past tense...However, once the Xbox came, the excitement was quickly replaced by frustration.
I was very careful with this console. I didn't shake it or turn it or drop it. I put it in one place where no damage could occur.
My Xbox broke within a year. When I say it broke I mean the Xbox would turn on and a game would start, but it would always freeze after a certain amount of time. At first, I thought it was that the games were scratched. Some were, while others were not. I replaced two or three games that had not been scratched with brand new games, all from different stores and completely scratch free, to see, and these also froze. I also noticed that the Xbox did not go well with Microsoft brand games; these proved to work especially badly.
I had never gotten any warranty, and if I had, it would have been past the time limit, so I got a new Xbox. One year later, this new console did the same exact thing.
It was just one thing after another. If the games were working, then the controllers weren't. The controllers continually had to be replaced. I think this is just absolutely ridiculous. Good money went in to this dumb thing, and I think now that it was made to break.
I sound like I hated everything about it. I didn't. The graphics were excellent, and the games, while they worked, were awesome. It's too bad I hardly got a chance to play any of them. I am incredibly disappointed with the poor quality that went in to making this system.
And to show that it truly is ridiculous to have to deal with something like this, here's an example...
I have had a Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and an N64 since they all came out. In comparison to the Xbox, and in all the years I've had them, none have ever frozen during game play, I have never had to replace controllers, and all of the games still work. And this is after years of tossing them around (unlike the Xbox, which I hardly even moved...), leaving them in the heat in the garage (I'm talking 90 to 100 degrees), and using them until I was afraid they'd break. These consoles were made to last. The Xbox, on the other hand, was made to make bundles of money.
The most disappointing thing of all was I was so excited about getting this new system with the awesome graphics, that I thought by being careful with it, it would never break. I wouldn't say I was stupid to think this. I shouldn't even have to ask for a system that is both reliable and well made.
And to the guys who made the Xbox: thanks a lot. You've made my gaming experience so horrible, I will never play it again.
From one bitter, overly frustrated customer, over and out.

Nightmare
It's been one month since I bought this item but I haven't received it yet. I placed a claim so, I'm waiting for the answer now.

Great
Okay, I know that the xbox is ancient and the 360 is much better but I don't play enough video games to justify getting a 360. I have had this since 2003 and it still runs perfectly. I haven't treated it very well either. The only thing that I have found wrong with it was the controller which was replaced in current times (2008) for only $25. My xbox has been reliable and fun to play and I expect at least another few years out of it.

Disappointed
I ordered this product 3 weeks before my boyfriend's birthday. The product never came and I was told I needed to wait longer because it may be in the mail. It never came, I had no present, and I had to wait one month before I got a refund.
