I know there are a few people that are saying that this video was unnecessary but the xbox I got was second hand and didnt come with a manual. This was a huge help, thanks

Thank you for this tutorial. My son is going to be thrilled when he comes home from school and his new XBox will already by all set up to play.

People, quit hating on one gaming system over the other. PS4, Xbox One and PC all have great games. There are advantages to all; get over it.

People keep talking about how easy it is to setup a console that this video is not necessary. They forgot that this video is actually an ad in disguise.

first off thank you for the video very simple and straight forward, the updating takes a long time but is worth it, you made the starting up a breeze and enjoyable except the waiting.But instant gratification is what we all want for gaming.

Who else got an xbox without set up instructions? xbox needs to be more organized smhh

[Godcat]

Do I need to follow the exact order for it to work because I bought an xbox one at game stop and it didnt work so I was wondering if that might be the problem please help

[jaimebanuelos]

why does my power cord have the 3 little metal things and the power box itself have the 2 ports for the little metal things. Will it still fit if I put them together. plus, I'm new to the Xbox one. I bought one a few days ago, traded it for my old 360
