Serves you right for wanting a biryani x and pilau s rice though really.

Thanks Xbox Y

I don’t think anyone is saying that are they? I wasn’t, anyway.

I think the names are a bit shit but they started down that path and now have to make the best of it, I’m assuming with the One S & X they’ve established the base and pro models are are just continuing that. However, I do think the ‘series’ part of the name is superfluous and rubbish. Is the Series S model actually an official thing or is it something that everyone is assuming at this stage?

Back to Xbox stock drying up, I assumed it was down to lockdown and people buying them for something to do as well as lower numbers getting made/sent to stores due to the global pandemic. Is that unlikely then?

@cohen205 - what’s going on here please?

The BR is a watered down pistol

Loads of good ones I can relate to in here, as well as this (technically cross gen) one: @metallicfrodo @Mystacon @kwakpriest @MalevolentPanda @Andy_Why

Just book a repair through Nintendo

My wife bought these for around £20 and will keep us going a while. If it’s something you’re going to make reasonably regularly the cost is ok. If you’re only going to use them once, it’s not very economical obviously.

Depends on your definition of waste, if the kid likes it and it makes them happy it is that a waste? I wouldn’t buy that stuff myself (and don’t) still though.

It wasn’t aimed at you, I was thinking more like if someone asked me now how much ‘screen time’ my kids have now and I compared to January it would be very different.

I’m coming around to this to some extent. It’s still very much an occasional thing but I don’t mind so much. One of their pals spent £60 on Fortnite levels for the battlepass though (rather than levelling up) and then complained about not having anything to do which I’m totally against.

I don’t think using the last couple of months as a guide is fair really. Everyone’s normal routine here has been flipped and at the moment we have to compromise and do the best we can. For us this has meant increased gaming and YouTube time which isn’t ideal but both parents are working and have to balance what we can. With time limits I use the one more game strategy rather than x minutes as that works better for all concerned. The other plus side is that we’ve set up voice comms for them so they are talking to friends they haven’t seen since March otherwise - they’ll sit in fortnite creative mode chatting and playing hide n seek.

Thanks. They can use Xbox pads fine so we shall see!
