For someone who lives rural with no internet connection does it even make sense to but the newer gaming consoles? Like do they even function without setting up an account? Do all the games require downloads?
I’m not 100% certain, but I believe you’ll need to log in with an MS account to be able to get to the main menu. Once you do that, it’ll prompt you for system updates and stuff that may take a while.
Other than that, offline support has gotten a bit better. You’ll need to configure a few settings, but once you do that you should be able to play most games without internet. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/connect-network/using-xbox-one-offline
Some games might require an immediate download, some may not. I don’t have a list unfortunately.
XBOX has been going in the unfortunate direction of not being offline friendly. Smart delivery games don’t have Series X version on disk, and a handful of AAA titles, like the newest Star Wars and Hogwarts Legacy are not playable without the game downloaded as a patch.
PS5 is a little better, and almost all Switch games are playable offline. No online is needed to set up Switch.
I tried to price match this at target but they wouldn’t honor the price because it wasn’t in some system they use to price check other stores
Bruhhhh that’s some BS by them.
Looks like the Diablo IV bundle is out of stock. How about the second link? Are they able to price match that? Maybe Best Buy if you got one close to you?
Best but did price match! Their website was actually super easy to use to price match as well
Aw heck yes 🕺
