Two weeks before Christmas I went to update my Xbox one and it wouldn’t update. So I rebooted and after that it just turned itself off. I tried turning it on and nothing happened. Oh it might be the power brick. I had one die before and just went to Gamestop to buy a used one. that worked for a long time. So I went to Gamestop and bought another one. Got home plugged it in and still nothing.
So then I looked on line and it seemed like it might be a logic board or something.
So after Christmas I saved some money and after I came up with three hundred I looked for a new xbox series S. Well I quickly learned that it’s not a good time to buy a console right after Christmas. About mid January I noticed that Target had them right by my house. I zoomed right over and was told they are our but the Target five miles away has them. I never drove so fast and ran into the electronics department and asked if they had them. Yep there are three left.
Oh joy I almost danced right there. I bought it using my Target card and saved twenty dollars. Got home lickety split and plugged it in. Saw the wonderful Xbox logo and the message to go to the phone app to get it set up. There was even a handy dandy QR code to download it. I signed into the app and finished the setup. Took my five to ten minutes and I was ready to go. I already had a two terabyte hard drive with games on it from my old XBOX one.
Since I only had three hundred gigs of space on my internal ssd hard drive I download just a few of my favorites, and started downloading ones that were not on the drive. Thats when I learned even thought I bought the Xbox one version of a game It will update it to Xbox series S. So I downloaded Minecraft which was less than a gig of space and took just a few minutes to download.
and I was playing my realm while everything else downloaded or transferred to my internal drive. I learned fast that I have to be very careful on what games I put on the internal drive because I don’t have much space. I am having a ton of fun with my new Xbox and love how much faster the SSD is and the overall speed of the system. This isn’t a review, because that will be next but I am having so much fun. My next purchase will be the one gig Xbox drive but it isn’t cheap at $220.00. It will happen and after that I will get a external SSD drive.
If your own the edge of getting one or not. Get it and also get game pass ultimate and then you have a bunch of games to play when you want them.
I’ll keep having fun gaming and hopefully I will get the new internal drive soon.
More games more fun.
