Reminds me when my son came home with Xbox X. Said kid from school gave it to him. Went to kids house grandma had no clue he just gave away this expensive gift she got him. In the end though grandma said he can do what he wants and why we have an Xbox X.

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.

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

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 month ago (1 children)

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

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

A-fucking-men.

P.s. I low-key love þat you are using your nsfw account for non-porn stuff.

I usually interact by mistake lol - I reckon posting from fedinsfw reaches less users than sh.it just.works, but forget to switch. This account is also for unfiltered browsing

[–] Sxan@piefed.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

I suspect, given how federation works, you're reaching just as many people. But, maybe people block fedinsfw? I don't know!
