Make it an extra Happy Holiday with Microsoft and Xbox ~ #2017GiftGuide

The holidays are just around the corner, and there’s no better time to treat yourself or a loved one. With Microsoft’s newest Surface devices and Xbox consoles, there’s something for everyone – from the stylish young professional to the avid gamer and even little (and not-so-little!) ones who love Minecraft. 

Launching November 7th, the Xbox One X, is the most powerful console on the planet. It has 40% more power than any other console, bringing immersive true 4K gaming to your living room. All games play better on Xbox One X, and it launches just in time for the holidays. For those people on your list that love gaming but don’t need quite as much power, Microsoft offers the Xbox One S. The Xbox One S provides the ultimate value in games and entertainment; it brings over 100 exclusive games, built-in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray™ and 4K video streaming. In fact, it’s one of the most affordable 4K Blu-ray™ players on the market!
