Digital Technolgy - Microsoft Xbox

My 12 year old is an Xbox junkie, you don't see him for hours on end unless he is looking for something. I don't know how they can spend all this time on a gaming console. Anyway he loves it and I've definitely had my moneys worth out of it. He was very impressed that he would able to download an app which turned his Xbox into a blue-ray player. He found this highly amusing as his dads Bose system that was a lot more expensive and doesn't play blue-ray.

What is disappointing about the Xbox One is that you can't watch sky go on it. My son had an Xbox 360 which does let you watch it, so he was a bit upset that he needs to watch it on his ipad, so hopefully Microsoft will deal with this soon.

The Xbox One really does have advanced technology. The Xbox One is the only gaming console where you can stream your games to a Windows 10 operating system. This is now going to be a problem in my household as he now wants a Microsoft surface which costs around £1200, so he can play anywhere and keep in touch with his friends. He also likes that if he pauses his game he can resume where he left off.
