Jas-store.com Review |

Take the power and flexibility of a dedicated computer gaming system and combine it with the easy-to-use, instant-on format of a high-end console system and what do you get? Well, if you also add in DVD playback ability and broadband Internet connectivity, you get Xbox. The advanced components inside Xbox make it the undisputed powerhouse among current game consoles. A 733 MHz Intel main processor and 233 MHz graphics processor from industry leader nVidia deliver photorealistic graphics in real time. A cavernous hard drive stores saved games and characters, making flimsy memory sticks obsolete. The built-in Ethernet port enables super-fast multiplayer online gaming over a broadband Internet connection. Four game controller ports allow you and three of your buddies to play at the same time, or you can use them for other peripherals such as gamepads, light guns, and who knows what else? But Xbox has more going for it than fancy innards. The Xbox's Windows-based operating system is a breeze to program on, earning it grateful accolades from Electronic Arts, Infogrames, THQ, and other game producers. The less time developers spend struggling with the operating system means the more time they spend tweaking gameplay, which ultimately results in better games. And games are what it's all about. Well, games and the fun of owning a green-glowing game console that looks like it came from Darth Vader's living room.--Mike Fehlauer The Xbox Video Game System with Controller S includes the Xbox console, the popular "S" style Microsoft controller, and all necessary cables. A DVD kit (sold separately) is required to access DVD playback ability. |

xbox core console |
I had recently purchased an original xbox core system with the help of Jas-store.com and the experience of recieving my original xbox was great by todays standards of not being able to find one out there at my local videogame store's or friend's and neighbor's. The delivery of the consol was not a short period to wait for and the company that sent it to me said that they paid for the shipping and upgraded it for free, I still paid the price that I was quotted online when I made the order, and to top of my day I opened the box that it was shipped in and there was no original remote controller so that I could use it and be very very happy the way that I thought I would be.
I really expected more from the purchasing power that I was given by amazon.com, being the third party member, but I guess my expectations of online shopping was a third correct. I say this only because I belived at one point that if I could see it in a store window than that means that I could purchase it in that condition, in that state, and certainly anything that came with it. I have owned a lot of gaming consols in my life time nintendo was the first, and sony, as well as xbox, but I never had as much fun as I did with my first xbox system. The graphics, sound processing, the look's and styling, as well as the feature's. Each of my consol's have their own pro's and con's and I play with them to relax and have a good time. Unfortunenatly my old xbox's hard drive failed and I had no money to get another or fix it, so I gave the left over's to my friend's brother and now that I need the controller no one has one. I found that having to find one at the store is difficult and they cost about $15.00 (USD) if not more. Why should I have to pay that much more money when I have already paid for the core system that was supposed to have it in the first place. The company that send it to me reviewed my comment's about them and asked my once for a post of five stars, and I did and they said thanks, and that they will send a contoller a.s.a.p., but I think that it's been over a month now and I don't think that I will be getting that at any time soon. I am very dissapointed about this entire thing and having to go through all this for a paper wait that I still have in the box. I miss playing the old games like tron killer apt 2.0 and other's that dont respond on the new system and well thank's to all the event's that have transpired and the circumstance's, I will probably never get to.
I love the xbox and even if it is old it still has a lot to offer anyone who has the old xbox day dreams or a first timer just trying to get used to the whole gaming network. It is much better than the rest of its generation and you will absolutetly love it. I just that no one has to go through the same thing that I have for it or at the very least have something prepared for these kind of problems. |

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. |
