Series X or S? I've been toying around with the idea of picking up a Series S just for GamePass. It's a pretty amazing value for $14.99/month.

The last Xbox I owned was a 360. I skipped the One generation entirely, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Series S. I have been told by many friends that unless I am an extreme hardcore gamer that needs an optical drive to play disks / DVDs, and run true 4K at all times, that the S will be plenty for me. I can't tell you the last time I actually bought a game disc. I think it was when the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt came out back in 2015.

Anyway, if for whatever reason I am not satisfied with it and want more, I figure by that time it will be a lot easier to get an X. I could buy one now with little effort, but they are for sale as much as 100% markup on the market. I got my S for a little over $400 bucks, which is about 75 bucks over retail. Not the best price, but not horrible either, considering how scarce both the X and S still are. My hope is that by this time next year, the scarcity is mostly resolved and I could easily upgrade to the X without giving an arm and a leg.

Update: 2nd COVID vaccine done! I'm over an hour out from having the second shot, and I feel fine. No sore arm or nothing. I will update all later tonight / in the morning with how I am doing day 2!
 
April has been a great month and it has gotten us that much closer to Thanksgiving! I hope May is as kind. It is a dreary, rainy Wednesday here, almost Thanksgiving Eve weather!
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 210

Happy Next To Last Day Of April! We are heading towards the end of the month. But first we have 3 countdowns today and tomorrow to get to. Let's start with today shall we? Live in the present they say. We have 210 days till Thanksgiving, 186 days till November, and 125 days till The Bers. Our next milestone will happen in 2 days when we reach the Arrival Of May which is the 6th month on the 11 month journey back to November. Ahh yes folks. The Halfway Marker to November is coming. And you know what else is coming? Our best friend CW today on this Thursday will post a great video for us. He always comes through for us doesn't he? I think he's the most reliable person in this thread. Always delivering for us. Now that I boost his ego hopefully he won't fail us! But I hope all you turkey fans out there are enjoying your Thursday. Enjoy these "pressure free" days of not being in The Bers or the Holiday Season. Have a great Next To Last Day of April!​
 
Today is gonna feel like Thanksgiving when I open up that Xbox! I feel good too from my second shot, so I will be able to play some tonight. I only have achy knees / legs, that feel like I just got done running a marathon / 10k. No fever.

Have a great Thursday!

Enjoy your Xbox and greta news you had no side effects. I was pretty good too except a little fatigue but not too bad.

I'm happy for you! I think I'm picking up your excited vibes, because I'm getting that nostalgic feeling of opening up a new console. Let me know what game(s) you end up playing on your first night!

Look at those counts: In 10 days we will be celebrating the 200-day marker to Thanksgiving! Then in another 15 days afterward we'll hit 100 days until the Bers! SO MUCH GOODNESS!

Happy Farewell To April! We are moving along here at the end of April folks. Another month is going away later tonight. Luckily all of the 3 countdowns above are not going anywhere anytime soon. They are as follows to start this Friday: 209 days till Thanksgiving, 185 days till November, and 124 days till The Bers. Our next milestone is going to be tomorrow folks as we welcome in the Arrival of May. This will be the Halfway to November Marker and the start of the 6th month of 11 on our journey back to November. Pretty incredible. Just hearing the word "May" makes me think wow like we're entering a new section of the year. Thanks to CW for his post. He always comes through for us and we appreciate it. What would we do without his posts? Other than that turkey fans I know you are all looking forward to your weekend. And I am happy for all of you as we head into another spring weekend. Let's do this thing and enjoy it. Have a great Farewell To April!​
