I completely agree with Connor to his point (Halo 4 is great), but if this is going to kids, the 4gb will likely serve you well for a while (maybe forever). I have a 250gb Xbox (no Kinect) downstairs for my own games and a 4gb Kinect bundle upstairs for the kids (bought at launch). I did recently purchase a 16gb flash drive to extend the storage for demo and arcade games, but this was under $20 and I didn't really need it for actual games. With the fall 2012 update, they just upped the maximum USB storage you can use to 32gb. Today's prices put 32gb drives in the $25 range. Just a heads up on other options this holiday season.

Kinect adventures and Disneyland Adventures are both great games (Kinect sports are great too), I paid full price for the Kinect bundle and Disneyland Adventures when they each came out and they are both worth it if you have young kids (mine are both under 5). There are plenty of horrible games (I'm looking at you, Star Wars Kinect and Sonic Racers Kinect) but just play the demos before you buy.

I have a PS3 and have had one for about 5 years. It is a great product that I wish Sony would do more with. That being said, over Thanksgiving, my wife and I were introduced to the Kinect. It is awesome so much fun for a group of people when they cut loose.

Via Amazon's lightning deals, I was able recently to get a great price on the Xbox and Kinect packaged deal. We received the Xbox today and immediately started playing (very easy setup) one of the dancing games. It is seriously a fun game, we played for a couple hours.

When we finished, I started poking around with the other features of the Xbox. What I quickly found is that the Xbox is fairly worthless for any other feature other than games unless you want to drop another $10 a month (or $100/year) on the Gold service. You can't even use Netflix unless you pay this monthly fee on TOP of what you already pay Netflix. And to top it off, you can't even use Internet Explorer without the "Gold" Service. It's not much, it's just more the principle of the matter when you can use Netflix on every other device for free.

Anyway, I highly recommend the Xbox if you only want to play games and use the Kinect. For any other service, use the PS3, Roku, Wii, any basic media streaming device, etc etc etc. They're all free to use!

Do yourself a favor and buy the 250 GB bundle. With the 4 GB you cannot play games like Halo 4 and you'll end up shelling out another $130 for the separate hard drive anyways.

Other than that, Xbox 360 is still amazing. Even after 7 years since its launch.

I must really say, the Xbox 360 made me WOW! I am a PS3 owner, and I'm am loyal to it , but I must really say that the Xbox 360 is amazing. I purchased the 4GB version so I could have bought the Xbox 360 320GB Hard Drive that includes a downloadable copy of LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. I mainly purchased it for my 3 year old and my 7 year old. They mostly love the Kinect(tm) since their hands are a bit to small for the controllers. But they love that can play just by moving their bodies. The Xbox 360 320GB Hard Drive was for me since I love DLC (Downloadable Content) and downloading movies and arcade games. One thing I don't like is that, when you play for a long time (using the controller) using the Left Trigger and the Right Trigger using your ring finger it usually goes numb. But overall I must say that the Xbox 360 is an amazing console. If your looking for some fun and adventure for you and your kids that it is definitely for you. But if you are a hardcore gamer then the PlayStation 3 would be for you.

I hope that you take my review into consideration when deciding which console to buy. Expect to here more from me soon. See ya guys!
