A few years back, my nephews received the Series X with several games. Their dad didn't take any steps to prep. He didn't really think about it, I guess. They live in a rural areas with DSL access only and download speeds were really, really slow.

Anyway, he ended up bringing their console to my house for our Christmas get together that day. They plugged in their console and did install and updates for the rest of the day at your house.

One bad thing, they used like 300 gigabytes of my monthly Xfinity data allowance. It is 1.2 terabytes, I think. It was the first time I hit my data cap.

They have both and so do I. I like my Xbox more though. It's called not being a ******.
