Xbox 360 500GB Call of Duty Bundle

When I first got this system, I had some problems, which were eventually resolved.The main issue was the fact that when you played a DVD, you got no sound, if you were using an HDMI cable. At first, and ever since I had this system several years, up until yesterday (as of this writing), I thought it was Microsoft's problem.Turns out, it was my TV. I only learned, just yesterday, that my TV needed a firmware update to fix the DVD playing with no sound problem. Wish I'd known about that prior to chucking the Xbox into the bin in so many bits after I'd taken my anger out on it, thinking it was the Xbox' problem.Right. After spending hours rebuilding it, and strapping it back together with gaffer's tape, and fixing the DVD drawer, after bending some of the inner metal bits back into shape, gluing the plastic bits that came off after the impact, I managed to find, quite by accident, really, the information about flashing my TV to resolve HDMI cable issues with game consoles. I was trying to resolve another issue with my TV.Ok, so here's the fix for the DVD thing. Just go to your TV's manufacturer's web site, and search your model, then download the firmware to a USB flash drive. Next, turn off your TV, and insert the flash drive into the TV's USB service port. Turn the TV on, and select yes, when asked if you want to install the firmware. Then, if asked to reset, select yes. After the flashing is completed, you'll turn off the set, remove the USB flash drive, and unplug the TV from the mains for 10 seconds. Then plug it back in, turn it on, and rescan for your channels (if needed).Now, you should be able to disconnect the composite (red, white, yellow) cable, and use the HDMI cable while playing a DVD, and get audio, with no more issues.By the way, although the outside of my Xbox is a bit worse for wear, the bloody thing turns out to be a real trooper. It still works! Even the hard drive still works!I did have some issues with regards to accessing the network in the beginning, and still do, from time to time, but all, in all, it is working. Definitely need to get the updates. They do help.I hope the above tech tip helps others.The included games (one downloadable, the other on disc) are very cool games.

About two years my dad replaced his original "Xbox 360 premium model" with the "Xbox 360 S model" and he gave his old premium model to me, and almost immediately i was having issues with it. Issues like it would take 30 minutes for the system to read a disc even if the disc was brand new! Needless to say that system had to go so i started shopping around and then i remembered that god aweful Microsoft press conference you know the one where they where showing the Xbox one as a glorified cable box, then i also remembered that were also releasing a brand new remodeled 360 meant to look similar the Xbox one. (Still looks alot more attractive then the xbox one which looks like my vcr/dvd player) so i started looking into it and found the one that i wanted and it works great! I recently finished Call of Duty: Ghosts and honestly i loved it! and i love this new model it is "SUPER QUITE" it doesn't even make a peep when you turn it on. This is a great console and if you are looking to replace your Xbox 360 and don't have enough to justify the purchase of an Xbox one purchase this you will not regret it.

I bought this because I saw the $200 price tag(probably changed now) and I have been without a 360 since my launch 12 gb model gave up 3 years ago and I wanted to relive my long night during the weekend playing halo, forza, etc and I just had to pick it up. It's a good deal considering you pay an extra $10 for the 500GB model. It definitely doesn't make as much noise as the original one but it does get loud if you're playing a game you don't have installed and it's standing on its side. Laying it flat gets rid of 90% of the noise made by the optical drive so keep that in mind. I installed every game I have so I can have it on its side(saves space and looks good) and not have that loud noise going and also to justify the large HDD. It's just a great deal if you're moving from the pre slim 360 to this the Xbox 360e model. It comes with an amazing game and a sucky game(guess which one is which) the sucky game comes with a download while the great comes with a voucher code. I read some reviews that say the code didn't work but trust me if you presevere and keep trying to input the code it WILL work. I have a PS3 that has been my baby ever since I bought it just 3 months before my Xbox broke 3 years ago but I missed playing the games I loved and only on Xbox. So if you are wanting to try Xbox out or upgrading from the old white model then this is a great choice. People say the slim is the best when they are the same except for the missing ian ports at the back(2 of them) and optical out port(which I don't need) but it's the same if not better due to its quieter and had a big hard drive.

I got the product on time and the package was in intake condition. I made some "bad" choices [done in good faith though] with regards to the product but I know the product was faulty to begin with. When I got the product I tested it to make sure it working. It came on, it read the game, graphics good and it played the game just like any console. It cut off mid way while playing assassin creed and I wrote it off as an charge problem with the controller. - Thought if the controller cut off the console cut off too.Two years later, when I finally have my entertainment station set up, I finally played the xbox, only to realize that the problem wasn't charge but an overheating problem.Now, if the person who was selling the used xbox, did a proper QC check on the item, they would've realized that it had such a problem and not sell it.Now, I'm out of pocket and out of a xbox and I can't prove that the console was sold faulty due to time factor.I advised proper testing and if buying used consoles do so from reputed physical store.

I bought this a long time ago, just doing the review. It was great for COD zombies and getting an Xbox back, however it is out of date now but still great console!
