Yeah pretty much. But some kids just dont appreciate gifts given to them. And as a parent I just wanted to make sure his guardian was aware. I figured she would want sell it to us or not allow him to just give away. She did appreciate me bringing it to her attention and told me in front of the kid that be last expensive gift she ever buy him.

I figure gifts are supposed to benefit the recipient more than the giver; if my recipient gave away my gift of a new console I clearly made a crap choice and would've been better off researching what they'd like more

Well he had another Xbox that mom bought him that was slightly newer then the X think it was the XS. Don't know what the difference is between them.

I didn't even know that Xbox uses letters as their versioning system so you know more than me.

My kids (twins) are only two and I'm living in denial that I will one day need to contend with these devices.

Yeah it first Xbox, then 360, then Xbox One which I bought for kids. Then the X then think one more called XS but don't think they are much different except just another cash grab.

Close:

Xbox

Xbox 360 ( later 360 S and then finally 360 E )

Xbox One

Xbox One S / Xbox One X (2 different consoles at the same time)

Xbox Series S / Xbox Series X (also two different consoles)

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but what's the difference in those last 2 consoles?

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

If you mean the Series X and the Series S, the X has quite a bit more power and an optical drive that the S lacks.

If you mean the One X/S and the Series X/S, it’s roughly the difference between a PS4 Pro and a PS5.
