Which X Box

[PeteTaylor99]

Hi all,

I know nothing about these consoles. My son(11) has asked for one for Christmas and a quick search shows there are more than one version. We have a new OLED 4k TV so can't use 8K anyway. Any other differences? Do they come with two controllers and all the must haves.

I assume one would sign up for some sort of an online subscription for all the games as opposed to buying physical cards(games)

TIA

Two current choices, an S and a X

The S is cheaper, the X has more performance/storage.

Xbox game pass is pretty good, library of games for a tenner a month. Recommended.

The S is probably sufficient, the storage might get annoying but if you have a fast connection downloading stuff when you want it is probably ok. (And actually cloud gaming works well for us)

They’ll only come with a single controller.

My standard question is “what system do their mates have?” and then buy that one.

[Mr E]

They’re also offered at a monthly cost for hardware + gamepass. I looked it up and I think the S is 21 quid a month.

I also note that there’s a minor refresh coming offering more storage and “new colours”. Yay.

I would expect new models for next years GTA release.

Many thanks. X series it is.

Apparently his friends have the X Box
