one more tip for everybody, don't be putting stuff over the vent accept a dust protector because I know a lot of people that either have the s or x and they keep putting stuff on top of the vent makeing it over heat and they don't think anything will happen but over time when you keep putting stuff on the vent it starts to hest upthe console faster and has a hard to cooling down if you do it to much I have never done itbut I have had frends who needed to buy a new one after about a year and a half even though I keep saying dont do it but they didn't listen and lesrned it the hard way out

Also make sure you (update your controller) in the settings on your Xbox. It will payoff in the long run.

Hi everybody. I just bought the xbox series s. I already have some headphones with the mic that i use on PS5. I checked on every website possible and everyone of them said that ps5 and xbox have the same jack audio. But now if i put them in the controller of ps5 they work. When i put them in my monitor, they work. When i put it in the xbox controller they don’t work. Could somebody help me? Thanks!

I have a question? I currently have a 2019 White Digital Xbox series S, today as a Christmas gift to myself I bought a Brand New White Digital Xbox series X, my Wife probably wouldn't have bought it lol. I got a good deal & paid $500 CDN saving $200. Do I need to do anything to make sure I won't lose my games or anything from my older Xbox series S when I switch? Thanks!

The day Microsoft wakes up and actually respond to what the hell is going on are they going to continue making consoles or do I have to worry about some third-party individual making a console that's going to break at 30 days cuz right now there's a lot of confused people out there I just want to plug my console in and play games and when it's time to make a new console I want a new console you know the same thing the song he's been doing since the inception of the PlayStation

Does anyone know of a way to play your installed games without having to put the game disc in?

Simple : place it back in box . Seal it. Place in EBay and use the money to buy a PS5

Great for the 10 people that bought it for Christmas 😂

Summary: turn it off, go buy a PC or a PlayStation, even a switch...

Simple: Put it back on the box, sell it and then just buy a PS5.
