Great deal with two great games!
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...
Works great but requires a MONTHLY Fee
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...
Xbox? Great. 4 GB hard drive? Nearly useless.
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.
