Yeah that was something we talked about as well.
Guess need to assess what offers are out there at the time

Depends on the kids age/what they want to play I think.
My immediate thought was a series s too, but the old one s might be a better shout as you'll have a disc drive and can buy a load of cheap games from CEX etc rather than be locked in to the digital ecosystem with the series s.

Edition 30
Cash Converters had one this last weekend for £100 - One S that is. Our 7 year old will not care one bit it's not the series s.
Kids are 5 & 7. As first console thinking of the one s and trying to get a 1TB disc version or additional storage.

[Thanks, shows as out of stock but will have a look on my lunch break, didn't think of looking there either. Haven't bought a console since my PS2!Preowned from Game? Come with a 12 month warranty.

The Series S is the new version of the One S, however there is no disc drive for games (loads of cheap used ones around) and the internal storage is too small 512mb less the OS & reserved space, so you need to very expensive storage expansion card, so I would avoid personally.
As a first console for younger kids, I would get a used One S 1TB with an optical drive (they do some without), with a selection of cheap games on disc, places like CEX, Cash Converters, Game, Music Magpie, etc all do used consoles with warranty, but TBH you'll not need it as they don't tend to break/fail, so you could get one off Facebook or eBay, for around £100

Incorrect, all XBox One, One S, One X, Series X/S and Elite controllers have a USB port for charging & firmware updates, it's micro USB on the older ones and USB C on the Series X/S & Elite 2, but you need specific rechargeable batteries, you can't just pop a couple of rechargeable AA's in the controller and charge them using a cable.
The original Xbox One controllers did not come with a 3.5mm audio plug (or Bluetooth), which is what someone may have got confused over, but the One S controllers have the 3.5mm audio plug, micro USB and Bluetooth.

Yes, and it’s definitely recommended.

Kids will probably like Forza Horizon, probably go for 4 as you can then get the lego DLC.
You could look into the cheap gamepass trick too, check out the gamepass thread I posted.
Edition 30
That's right USB C on the newer versions. I must have not understood what he was trying to tell me.
I luckily got a newer one for him.
How do I obtain said batteries? The one I got just came with 2 normal AA's.

You've got a newer style Series X/S controller then, I use the Microsoft play & charge battery, there are aftermarket ones available, but the official one lasts for a long time between charges and I've got a couple that are a few years old now.
I love my little Series S when I get the time to play on it. It's tiny so fits in beautifully out of the way and my little twin boys can't t**t it around all over the house as it's hidden away. It loads super quick with Quick Resume. Games Pass is amazing as well and the controller feel is brilliant, it's really weighty but feels perfect in the hand.
Cheers bud....last question for now, do I need to have Xbox gamepass if only want to start with games offline?
Thinking FIFA, tractor simulator ( blame you he brother in law) and Forza game to start
Games Pass is digital only so it does away with the need for a optical disc drive. I think you can download a game though off Games Pass and play it offline but I could be wrong.

If you plan to just buy those games then no, you don't need any sub on xbox to just play games (either bought on disc or digitally)

That looks good will get that sorted later. Can I buy it now and download to an Xbox later?

Thanks, have bought it. Will need to download it tonight once kids in bed and dig the Xbox out the cupboard.
Thanks again
