U wasted 437$ u know a xbox 360 slim is a xbox one its a video on TH-cam to make it a xbox just back up your data and put in a certain code and it will turn off and restart as a xbox one but u cannot play 360 games anymore the video I watched explained it more
If you seriously believe a 360 can be upgraded in a sense to an Xbox one you are dense in the head - the same guy also said you can upgrade a 360 to a PS4 or a wii u its a bunch of shit to make a joke and get views
Love the Design, Now can Xbox stay away from the RLOD since their is no Ring just a Circle. Hopefully they could also sale the White one that the Employees got some day it looks so cool like a Storm trooper in the back.. Also still trying to get over the Achievement Hunter that they showed who got the Launch team edition, and a 1/1 Limited Edition Lifetime Xbox Gold Live Card.
thanks for the vid. looks like a beast. if they had to do a big update day one to remove all the shite they previously planned, then i wonder how easy it will be to put some of it back into place in the future? i mostly doubt that they will tho, cos it would just be a PR disaster and a hell of a lot of people would jump ship to their rivals if they're the only one doing that stuff.
Credit cards are not popular in Europe, I actually only have a prepaid credit card, only when I need it, I put money from my bank account on it, and than pay, no fees, interest or any of that crap. And the card costs me 10 EUR per year.
The Kinect works great if you have a good deep voice like me and all new Xbox 360's and Xbox Ones come with headsets and PS fans can't pop out there battery's and put charged battery packs it's way better nobody likes more cables to mess with
Hey, Adam. I've really enjoyed your videos on the new gen consoles. I'm a big retro gamer and enjoy collecting classic consoles. With regards to the new gen systems I'm wondering if they will be usable in say 20 years time? What I mean is if someone bought one second hand as a future "retro" system would it work or not because of an update that is no longer possible to download?
I'm sure they'll work in some form. But anything that requires a connection or online support etcetera won't work. Also, DLC and stuff won't be accessible.
i like the kinect sensor so far, i don't get why so many people are un happy with it, i mean the old kinect was crap before if users don't have kinect connected with their consoles, producers won't make any thing good with it, so now i'm excited to see what it's going to be released for kinect :)
Call me bitter but I'm not buying an Xbox One. The shit they tried to pull just pisses me off plus most of the games I'm interested in are gonna be on the PS4 anyways
I prefer AA batteries over rechargeable batteries, if you get the right alkaline they work longer than rechargeable batteries. Sorry for that rant I sell batteries for a living. Haha
Nice unboxing. Being patient, I'll wait a while before getting a PS4 or an XBox One, waiting for flaws to unveil. But I'd say that the PS4 starts in advance for me because of the bitter taste the XBox One's former DRM system left.
I still call it a over priced under powered gaming Cable box console. I'll just go with my Wii U and PS4. And I don't want to go into why I'm mad at Microsoft. It's kinda of a personal story. But, I heard reviews on the new controller, and the biggest complaint I've heard was the bummer buttons. other then that I haven't heard much complaints on the controller. but, I'll keep my reservations to the side until I had a chance to see one myself. Walmart and Gamestop likes to have displays of the consoles.
hey bro i was just watching somw of your old videos and i have a question i know you do not suppoet digital gaming which i understand (but you know its inevitable right?)but on this video you said you never ever use or carry cash i thought that strange because it is like digital distribution almost to the point were if your bank goes under or some banking bullshit happens your out of luck just like digital downloads !now i dont like digital much either but i see myself doing it more and more basically because sometimes the have a sell and i can get the games cheaper and me i am opposite i use my debit and credit cards but i love cash and having cash on me all the time !so i was wondering why you dont like cash when you love physical things like actual physical games and hate digital but you dont use cash ?i was just wondering?
Yes I know it's inevitable. Credit cards are accepted everywhere, and are harder to steal. Kind of a weird question. Would be like me saying "you don't like pickles right? Then why won't you drive a motorcycle?"
Unfortunately PS4 kept the DRM and they bragged they weren't that kinda company. You have to use a HDMI box which takes the HDCP off the PS4 video cable to record anything from your monitor screen using recording software.
That's not exactly accurate. HDCP is not exactly DRM. It's also being removed in a future firmware update. This was announced well before the console even came out.
Go to Linus Tech Tips he had to use a conversion HDMI box in order to be able to record the video that was output straight from the monitor itself without using a camcorder in front of the monitor screen.
I was talking about the HDCP and DRM on the PS4. Tell Linus, he has issues because of the HDCP features. I've heard of the problem with some monitors that don't support HDCP years back.
It's a really ugly console in my opinion. Also wtf were they thinking with the external power supply. It's like they just don't listen to the opinions of the end user
I like the style and theme of the xbox one. It has very nice packaging, and is overall very aesthetically pleasing, which, however, I know has nothing to do with gameplay.
To be honest, I actually really, really like that packaging design, I hope it becomes the primary print down the line and not just limited to the day one adopters. As for the size of the console... yeah, I still can't 'figure it out' (ba-dum-tss) either. At least the size of the original Xbox made sense given how much more it accommodated for than it's competitors, and even *THAT* had a traditional two-prong built-in PSU. Now you compare this thing to the more technically more-robust PS4 and can't help but ask what gives. I look forward to the overall thoughts video.
We-Hey! I You pre-ordered the same exact games I did. We must have the same tastes in gaming! :) Hopefully we can play co-op on DR3 & Gladiator Mode in Ryse.
I feel so bad about not having a xbox one. Would it hurt if I get one after Christmas? Also, why did you stylize it as XBox instead of Xbox, XBOX, or xbox?
Let's analyze everything wrong with this statement, beyond grammar. I'm 28, now, 26 at the time the video was shot. This would be considered old to a child, perhaps. Second, I make videos all about restoring games, consoles, and accessories. Not the act of someone who "doesn't care about his stuff."
AdamKoralik Akshat 13 must be a little boy and doesnt understand where guys are age come from so lets get it strait 28 is not old bro you will understand when you get there that this is a humans prime years nowadays your not too young and stupid and your not so old you arean OG thats outta touch

I don't think the sales tax counts if you buy something from out of state. ..somehow. At least I think that's how it works in my state as well. Have fun.
In my "OPINION" the fact that xbox one controller doesn't have an internal battery can be a good thing if you play for extended periods of time or forget to charge your remote. So if you need to you can replace the AA's or grab a new charge pack charge pack. I would also worry about losing charge cycles and lifetime with an internal battery.
Hey Adam just wondering about the change collecting idea. In Australia i collect $1 and $2 coins and put them in a jar and when its full i go to the bank and put it in a machine and it goes directly to my bank account. Why can't you do this in America??? Also please do a video on your collection of games and consoles :)
We can, I just don't bother since I intend to use it via Amazon. Microtransactions like that aren't really worth my time. I have no intention of making a video like that, I hate those kinds of videos.
One difference between the day one edition here in Australia is they included a download code for FIFA 14. Probably in Europe too. Kinda nice of them to include a free game anyway.
I got the Xbox One at midnight and got it all set up and played for a while last night and today, but for some reason i still had to watch this video of its unboxing haha
I'm just being honest. I'm not going to lie and say the thing is amazing because they gave us some promotion. I'd think such honesty would be respected, not mocked.
I would never have supported them with their fascist DRM policies in place. But they dropped them, and true to my word, I said I'd get one if they did.
I'm just throwing it out, but perhaps the size of it may be to help displace the heat within the system, rather than having it concentrated in a smaller package and therefore lingering in specific areas that are susceptible to prolonged periods of "high" heat. One might argue, well why don't they just add more cooling to it? Answer? Business model. It's probably a lot cheaper for MS to increase the overall size of it than just add more cooling. Than again, you did say it's heavy so it just might have a LOT of hardware in it.
How about when they take off the HDCP protection? Do you mean it won't allow itself to be hooked up to the Xbox or you just can't capture footage? If its the capture part just use your video camera man :-D
Another awesome video from Adam :D I'm still waiting for my PS4 and (hopefully) shenmue 3 :D cause the first load of ps4 in belgium 29/11 is sold out.. so.. waiting for the second load (birthday gift from my parents) ^^ enjoy the consoles you got man!
AdamKoralik no no no dont spoil my dreams the dreamcast 2 is coming its a massive secret project :)... ive been saying this since sega stopped making hardware lol
+Diego Arenas Digital Rights Management. if MS had done all of their horrible ideas, which is ancient history since Phil spencer took over, they would get so much hate with the always online, no used games, you don't own anything type crap....they would be hurting way more then they already are. they are playing catch up with the PS4 for that reason. but we spoke with our wallets and said no. DRM sucks and they now know it.
I’m shocked that still in 2023 the xbox controllers still doesn’t come with an internal battery. It’s the only product in my house that it still design to use AA battery’s. I wish they could change that soon.
Xbox One wasn’t a bad console, but the One S is what it should have been from the get-go. Microsoft’s arrogance buried them from the word “go.” A nice comeback with the Series X, but can we PLEASE get some exclusive games?
@poop scum Step one: stop complaining.
Step two: skip ahead to the time code provided for you.
"They're not just battery brand batteries" - Adam
@Matthew Hoffmann Right now the 360 is the better buy. But for how long, that's anyone's guess.
U wasted 437$ u know a xbox 360 slim is a xbox one its a video on TH-cam to make it a xbox just back up your data and put in a certain code and it will turn off and restart as a xbox one but u cannot play 360 games anymore the video I watched explained it more
Jeremiah Gilliam ...What the hell are you attempting to say...?

1: They easily could.
2: They won't.

I think the reason microsoft does the play n charge kit to make their customers pay more money
@CortatGCortatG I actually considered it.
Dude, you opened that box in the most uncomfortable way possible.lol
I get that a lot.
sufian bear it's the only reason I watch his unboxings
Hey, Adam. I've really enjoyed your videos on the new gen consoles. I'm a big retro gamer and enjoy collecting classic consoles.

i like the kinect sensor so far, i don't get why so many people are un happy with it, i mean the old kinect was crap before if users don't have kinect connected with their consoles, producers won't make any thing good with it, so now i'm excited to see what it's going to be released for kinect :)
I still fucking hate the Kinect. But I'm glad you're getting some joy out of it.
Call me bitter but I'm not buying an Xbox One. The shit they tried to pull just pisses me off plus most of the games I'm interested in are gonna be on the PS4 anyways
Can't say I blame you.
Major props for the anti-fanboy-bitching PSA at the beginning of your console unboxings
Thanks.
nice tip about coinstar...cashed in my change yesterday, now im waiting to see what type of game deals amazon offers on black friday/cyber monday
My pleasure, happy gaming.
I prefer AA batteries over rechargeable batteries, if you get the right alkaline they work longer than rechargeable batteries. Sorry for that rant I sell batteries for a living. Haha
Congrats Adam, have fun with your new systems, can't wait to get my PS4 on Friday (UK) X1 and Wii u next year.
Thank you sir.
I think the XBox One looks pretty good dont know why everyone hates it. Cant wait for it to release in Mars here in Sweden :)
Nice unboxing. Being patient, I'll wait a while before getting a PS4 or an XBox One, waiting for flaws to unveil. But I'd say that the PS4 starts in advance for me because of the bitter taste the XBox One's former DRM system left.
oh and hey i was born in 85 so i grew up in the same time as you !!just thought you should know that so you know were im coming from!
Thanks again Adam for doing this stuff for us. I'll be interested in your opinion.
Thanks for watching.
Dude u are a Playstation FANBOY
I assume based on your profile picture that you're attempting to troll.
I still call it a over priced under powered gaming Cable box console. I'll just go with my Wii U and PS4. And I don't want to go into why I'm mad at Microsoft. It's kinda of a personal story. But, I heard reviews on the new controller, and the biggest complaint I've heard was the bummer buttons. other then that I haven't heard much complaints on the controller. but, I'll keep my reservations to the side until I had a chance to see one myself. Walmart and Gamestop likes to have displays of the consoles.
hey bro i was just watching somw of your old videos and i have a question i know you do not suppoet digital gaming which i understand (but you know its inevitable right?)but on this video you said you never ever use or carry cash i thought that strange because it is like digital distribution almost to the point were if your bank goes under or some banking bullshit happens your out of luck just like digital downloads !now i dont like digital much either but i see myself doing it more and more basically because sometimes the have a sell and i can get the games cheaper and me i am opposite i use my debit and credit cards but i love cash and having cash on me all the time !so i was wondering why you dont like cash when you love physical things like actual physical games and hate digital but you dont use cash ?i was just wondering?
Yes I know it's inevitable.
Credit cards are accepted everywhere, and are harder to steal.
Kind of a weird question.
Would be like me saying "you don't like pickles right? Then why won't you drive a motorcycle?"
I bought my Xbox at launch and I didn't get a day one edition what's up with that:(
Sorry bro.
he looks like guy from the old serie philledelphia or somthing O.o XD
...What?
AdamKoralik nevermind there was a show on comedy central and it was called philledelphia or somthing

You are really into Sony PS4 because Shemue 3 admit it! ha ha ha just kidding!
the box looks kinda like the Wii U Box
no longer the last console of the 8th generation
To be honest, I actually really, really like that packaging design, I hope it becomes the primary print down the line and not just limited to the day one adopters.
As for the size of the console... yeah, I still can't 'figure it out' (ba-dum-tss) either.

Now you compare this thing to the more technically more-robust PS4 and can't help but ask what gives. I look forward to the overall thoughts video.
It's mostly the fans. So it has room to breathe.
1:25 LOL! I'll just bite my tongue. You know how I feel about all of this :-D
We-Hey! I You pre-ordered the same exact games I did. We must have the same tastes in gaming! :) Hopefully we can play co-op on DR3 & Gladiator Mode in Ryse.
More like we wanted exclusive titles that weren't racing games. :P
Definitely getting this over the ps4 purely because of forza 5 when uncharted 4 comes out then I will buy a ps4 anyway great video
Thanks for watching.
I feel so bad about not having a xbox one. Would it hurt if I get one after Christmas? Also, why did you stylize it as XBox instead of Xbox, XBOX, or xbox?
I'd wait.
That's how they've been doing it since 2001.
Hey Adam will you be connecting your Dreamcast to the XbOne through the HDMI Input would love to see if that works?
It would, but there's no real point.
This old man doesbnot care about his stuff
Let's analyze everything wrong with this statement, beyond grammar.
I'm 28, now, 26 at the time the video was shot. This would be considered old to a child, perhaps.

Step one: open the fucking box adam jesus

So if you need to you can replace the AA's or grab a new charge pack charge pack. I would also worry about losing charge cycles and lifetime with an internal battery.
See, I could see the plug there, but they made it harder to swap out than they did on the 360.

We can, I just don't bother since I intend to use it via Amazon. Microtransactions like that aren't really worth my time.
I have no intention of making a video like that, I hate those kinds of videos.
I'd rather have easily replaceable batteries over something that is a proprietary hard to replace battery.
They're not as easy to replace as you might think. I'll have a video coming up where I discuss it.
Oh, really? I guess I should have seen that coming. I guess I'll hold my comments for that video.
One difference between the day one edition here in Australia is they included a download code for FIFA 14. Probably in Europe too. Kinda nice of them to include a free game anyway.
I don't support digital gaming, but I completely am baffled they didn't do that here.
I got the Xbox One at midnight and got it all set up and played for a while last night and today, but for some reason i still had to watch this video of its unboxing haha
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
little odd that the xbox 1 launches on the 50th anniversary of the murder of JFK
I thought that too.
Wow! You spend most of your time hating on the console but recommend people to watch your stuff that supported by it? lol wtf?
I'm just being honest. I'm not going to lie and say the thing is amazing because they gave us some promotion. I'd think such honesty would be respected, not mocked.
What happened to not supporting this garbage system and its garbage company?
I would never have supported them with their fascist DRM policies in place. But they dropped them, and true to my word, I said I'd get one if they did.
I'm just throwing it out, but perhaps the size of it may be to help displace the heat within the system, rather than having it concentrated in a smaller package and therefore lingering in specific areas that are susceptible to prolonged periods of "high" heat.

Than again, you did say it's heavy so it just might have a LOT of hardware in it.
It's been confirmed by people who opened it that it's big because of fans.
AdamKoralik
Alright, looks like I was kinda' right in regards to the heat. Cool, thanks for the info.
Adam Koralik fans that cool it, not fans that like it
I didnt know you were from IL thats cool cause most people that make videos arent its cool to represent our state lol.
#ChicagoRepresent
internal batteries would be awful! You can change out AA batteries easily. My opinion tho. Don't attack me ps fanboys.
Rechargable > AAs. Every time man.
yeah rechargable AAs lol
Sorry for the long comment I got on a mini rant
should i get this or the 360
Please Adam, I wanna see a video of you hooking up the PS4 to the Xbox One HDMI IN and say "Xbox One, Play PS4" :-D
Won't work because of the HDCP protection in the PS4.
How about when they take off the HDCP protection? Do you mean it won't allow itself to be hooked up to the Xbox or you just can't capture footage? If its the capture part just use your video camera man :-D
wastnTIMEwastnTIME Once they remove it, it'll be fine.
Another awesome video from Adam :D I'm still waiting for my PS4 and (hopefully) shenmue 3 :D cause the first load of ps4 in belgium 29/11 is sold out.. so.. waiting for the second load (birthday gift from my parents) ^^ enjoy the consoles you got man!
Thanks for watching.
Holy crap!
open it
Are you buying XBL Gold?
I already have it, just using the same account as I did with the 360.
Figure it out .lol;-)
Gratz on your new spy machine :)
Thank you.
Congrats :D
Thanks.
Been enjoying my Day One edition, can't wait for One Guide to hit the UK
thank you your tip about penny on this video :)
No problem.
you say the final console of the 8th generation, still waiting for that dreamcast 2... you never know man, you never know lol
We kinda know :P
We already know. It's more likely Nintendo will launch a replacement for the Wii U than Sega is to do anything that foolish.
AdamKoralik no no no dont spoil my dreams the dreamcast 2 is coming its a massive secret project :)... ive been saying this since sega stopped making hardware lol
AdamKoralik Oh God, that would suck for everyone that already owns a Wii U. I can't imagine how cheated everyone would feel.
crsmelee i recently bought a wiiU i wouldnt be to happy if they replace it lol
Is your xbox working fine?
Eh...it is now. I'll talk about it more in an upcoming video.
ok buddy keep me informed
Nice. I can't wait till some actual great games come out for it :)
Me too.
but you swore never to buy a xbox one ._.U
No I didn't. I said I wouldn't get one if they kept their DRM in place. They didn't. In the same video I said if they removed it, I'd get one.
Damn you Adam, I guess I'll get one during income taxes :P
Sorry Mark.
I'm just a sucker for new hardware :P
Mark Williams Me too.
35$ on 7% sales tax
Sales tax is not federal.
It's a combination of state, county, and city.
In my case, 9.25%,
Curious, can you explain hdmi in?
The idea is to be able to use any HDMI device, primarily your satellite or cable TV box, as an app.
I see
Thank you
Robert Beley Sure thing.
Hey what can you do with the hdmi in?
Any HDMI compliant device can be plugged in and displayed as an app on the XBox One. It's intended for TV.
Oohh I liike it thanks bud
***** Thanks for watching.
wait what does DRM stand for?
+Diego Arenas Digital Rights Management. if MS had done all of their horrible ideas, which is ancient history since Phil spencer took over, they would get so much hate with the always online, no used games, you don't own anything type crap....they would be hurting way more then they already are. they are playing catch up with the PS4 for that reason. but we spoke with our wallets and said no.

I’m shocked that still in 2023 the xbox controllers still doesn’t come with an internal battery. It’s the only product in my house that it still design to use AA battery’s. I wish they could change that soon.
I desagree, internal batteries die. You can buy a rechargeable pack and your controller is never obsolete

It's not the size of the console, it's the motion of the ocean
