If you’re feeling generous this year, then maybe you are looking to gift a console or a new handheld gaming device. The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X are fantastic options for gaming on the go, and you can check out our full review of the device here. You can purchase the ROG Xbox Ally and the Ally X direct from Microsoft, from the ASUS store or from Amazon.
If it’s a console you are after, then both the Xbox Series S and the Series X are a solid choice for both newbies and experienced gamers alike. You can purchase the consoles from the Microsoft Store here, or alternatively from Amazon. For those who aren’t sure which option is best, here are the details according to Microsoft.
Xbox Series S: ” Experience the best value in gaming with Microsoft’s smallest console ever. Just like every Xbox Series X|S console, players will make the most of every gaming minute with Quick Resume, lightning-fast load times, and gameplay of up to 120 FPS.
