[kshotime]

Thank you so much! Straight to the point and clear. Haven't had a console in years and felt a bit daunted about where to begin. This was exactly what I was looking for.

[patricknaylor]

I'm waiting until Black Friday or Christmas to get my Xbox series x console. I'm retiring my base PS5 for my future 5 year old son

[strangeexchange]

Do you need the app to set up the xbox becouse i think my phones hacked so dont put passwords in it

[hvmmelarchive]

People are really clicking on videos that teach you how to to put an HDMI cable into a console? Well so did I, not sure whats wrong with me.

[glanerao]

“LG UltraGear GL850” is good monitor for Xbox series X?

[elchancho]

Really wish the Xbox still had an Audio Output smh

[HotScones-c]

I just got a used Series S for £100. It's my first Xbox console, and I think Game Pass justifies the purchase.

[amour.londynn]

Can someone help me I just got a new series x and when I try to sign in it keeps repeating the “enter the password “ and it’s going in a loop and won’t let me pass no matter how many it
