Game pass - how does this work then. X box(say) will be connected to a modern TV (no internet). How do I get the games to come on the x-box?? My PC/modem are in another room so.... (sorry to sound dim!)

The Xbox has both wifi and ethernet so should connect to your internet via either method. You take out a a Gamepass subscription and download whatever games you want that are available. Cheap gamepass deals come up all the time.

Sold my PS4 a couple years ago. I see the value hasn't changed at all. Still sells for what I sold mine for.

Out of interest, why is there STILL a supply issue on the consoles? I could understand this time last year as I believe they'd not long been out but it's like they've been in short supply right from the get go and that doesn't seem to have ever changed.

The shortage of chips hasn't gone away plus whenever consoles are available they're usually bulk purchased by scalpers who then sell them on at hugely inflated prices. Unfortunately there's plenty of mugs willing to pay these prices.

so I dont need a lead to connect to modem? Is there a switch/option on the x box to choose wifi?

Not a switch as such but it will default to wifi unless you choose to connect via ethernet cable.

thanks all. Just been in a GAME shop "latest X box is Ser S at £250 (no games). Why then do I keep seeing £500 elsewhere?

£500 - 700 is Ser X
really confused now. What is difference/the 'best'

Experience 12 teraflops of raw graphic processing power and 4K gaming at up to 120 FPS with Xbox Series X.*

what the helll is a teraflop???????????

castle96

FLOP = Floating Point Operations (Per Second)
Tera = Trillion = 10^12 = 1000000000000

They are 2 versions to the latest Xbox; the Series X and the Series S.

The series X has a much more powerful gaming processor, larger storage and can play physical discs whereas the series S is download only, hence the price difference.

MS site for the Gamepass prices is a mess. I followed several links a couple of weeks back and found
trials for 1 to 3 months with various prices.

You could get 3 months for £1 to see if its what you want.  Just google gamepass and keeping trying until
you find a link with at least 3 months.
