XBOX 360 Kinect Edition Unboxing & Overview

2011-03-04
what's up guys it's unbox therapy here and today we're taking a look at the Xbox 360 Kinect special edition this is the model with 250 gigabyte drive as opposed to the tiny little 4 gigabyte model it's also got a game and of course the Kinect sensor and the pretty new Xbox which is a big improvement over the last style let's get inside here and see what we got first things first we have our start here quick set-up guide just going to make it super simple to get your system hooked up and get that Kinect sensor where it needs to be next we've got the system itself I think I'm going to go ahead and put that to the side for a moment we'll see what else is in the box so we've got our game called Kinect Adventures and this is kind of just like a throw in you know I don't think it's going to be a top title for you know Xbox games or Kinect games in general but nice to have something to at least try out the Kinect sensor here is a super cheap headset but I don't want to hate on it too much at least they include one other manufacturers don't you'll know what I'm saying and next we'll pull out the Kinect sensor here if it'll come this is quite the packaging here no let's get that later first we'll look at the gigantic power brick which hasn't gone anywhere I think it might be a little smaller than the older ones but that's still a major turnoff for me the last thing I need is another gigantic power brick laying around anyways I digress we have the wireless controller and these are nice they are all black now like they always should have been and this is a great feeling controller I'm sure you all know that most people on a planet have held an Xbox 360 controller at some point or another there's something else in here yeah it's a couple Duracell batteries that's going to power up your controller of course I always like when they include Duracell Zoar Energizer's bias that way you could easily cheap out and give you some off-brand I remember even getting fake branded ones before like fake Panasonic ones with some devices anyway here's your power cable not much to say about that and this is kind of cheesy so the device has HDMI but they're going to give you a composite cable instead that's kind of weak sauce if you ask me here is the Kinect sensor or camera or whatever we're going to call it and it's got its own manual let's get this box out of the way so we can get some more room to breathe over here there we go now I can breathe let's go ahead and take a closer look at this marvel of engineering at least that's what Microsoft wants us to believe I gotta admit it's pretty nice-looking especially since it matches the new system design but it's definitely large - I mean if you're comparing it to the PlayStation Move system with the camera it's going to be a bigger device sitting there on your TV stand or wherever you hope to put it but then again it uses a completely different technology so you can understand why it would be so much bigger now let's take a look at this newly designed system haven't actually had one of these yet I mean I've seen them around but I've never really examined one up close so the first thing you're going to notice is the super glossy finish now it looks slick right now but as everybody knows with these kinds of finishes they attract fingerprints but I suppose you're not really touching the top of your system too much it just kind of sits there but dust thus for sure you're going to see that being said it definitely looks a shitload cooler than the first model here's a closer look at the connect device those dual lenses they're sturdy little stand and a strange connector with a like looks like a stopper on it here's that new controller well it's not really new in any way other than color even so it's much cooler in all black like I think all consumer electronics should be all black there's no need to mess with something so good if it ain't broke don't fix it you know what I mean here is that super cheap headset which is gonna I guess help you get online straight away get yourself signed up to that membership before having to invest in any more hardware here's a closer look at the front of the system you have your drive there your power button and of course your USB connectors there's that strange power plug spit if HDMI a bunch of USBs anyway check out our channel if you get a chance we got a lot more to look at
