This console looks and sounds exceptional. Very pleased with the look and design compared with the other consoles
. The controller is just as good-looking with its engravings, colors and emblems. I will say I don't like the console as much as the Halo 4 Xbox 360 but its the best looking Xbox One available to date. Obviously, if you love the Halo series you'll love this and even if you don't love Halo, you'll have to at least acknowledge the design allure. With a refined UI (User Interface) and backwards compatibility (your able to play Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One) on the way it's a better time than ever to be a Xbox gamer. The only downside, while understandable due to knowing how hard drives work, is that they reserve about 220GB's of your 1000GB's (1TB) for their use. The logic for this complaint is this: The 500GB Xbox One reserved about 140GB. With that being known, the 1TB Xbox One should have only taken up 140GB too, but for some reason on thebigger hard drive they reserve more space. It must be proportional. However, you're still more than doubling your limits if you get the 1TB console. |

As you may know, this console includes the Halo 5 limited edition materials along with a digital download code for the video game. This stuff right here failed to impress to say the least. The steel case book looks nice, however, it's not at all designed to hold a disc. In fact the inside of it is empty from any clips, dividers, or disc holders. All the paper content is freely sitting in this case.
Then there's the cards with background info on each Spartan and an official order dossier from the UNSC (United Nations Space Command) to Locke. This is enjoyable,however, like the Halo 4 paper extras it'll be seen maybe once and sit their to never be seen again. It's a replacement to the old instruction books. The old books came with art, jokes, key game information, and came FREE as part of the standard game back in the early days of gaming.
Last there is that complete Metal Earth statue. All I can say is good luck, Spartan. If you have no experience with these models this one doesn't cut you a break. It's very difficult to put together and a few say they have even broken it in the process. It is a rage-inducing model that will be a Legendary time to put together. It would have been better to at least provide better instructions or use a different material. The whole concept is just a blunder. It's not really that interesting for something that defines the limited edition version of the game that's utter crap to build. The $100 version of the Elder Scrolls Online and Batman Akham Knight BLAST this out of the water. If you have experience with these Metal Earth kits then you'll probably be fine with it.
Final: 3 stars out of 5
