So of course my Series S arrived roughly 30 seconds before I was leaving for a few nights away on Thursday afternoon. Finally got a chance to get it up and running this afternoon.

My last console was an xbox 360, which remained pretty dormant the last 5-7 years. I’d play Skate 2 or GTA 4 a few times a year, but haven’t even had an xbox live subscription for at least 5 years.

Bundling EA Play with Gamepass is just perfect for me, I can catch up on a few dozen games/series I’ve missed out on (Gears of War, Forza, Halo 4+) during this gap, and I don’t have shell out $70 for NHL 20 as I would have in the past?

As for the resolution, I actually have a 4K TV, and I know there’s been a lot of handwringing on if it’s “true 4K” on the Series S... saying this as some one who’s closer to 40 than 20, and sitting across the room from a 48” screen... I can’t see a difference enough to worry about.

I’ve never played Gears of War, tonight I spun up Gears 5 and I tell ya, it’s next gen for me jumping from 2 generations behind.

EDIT: Feel free to add my gamertag, same as my handle here.
