No, I know but which 500gb Xbox one do you have right now? Is it white? Because if so it's basically the same thing as the Series S.

Oh yeah, then that's only 1080p. It might be worth it for you to get the Series S or Xbox One S to get the use out of your new TV and 4k/60fps. Series S is digital only so if you are fine with that then I'd get that. Since it's newer and should have better trade in. Or do you just pay the extra $200 and get the X. But since you don't have a TV for the X, you could wait a few years until you do and the price might come down or they release a better version. So many options to weigh.
I just called a couple GameStops. It sounds like I can get $125 trade in value towards an Xbox S/X preorder on Tuesday via a promo expected to be announced (currently only offering like ~80 for each), but it sounds like the Xbox preorders are expected to run out on Tuesday. A lot of hoops to jump through to get the new system. Probably not worth it, although the scummy side of me kinda wants to buy the Series X for half off (after trade ins) flip it on eBay for like $800 if quantities are low and then just go back to the Xbox One after everyone has already traded in their old systems.

$125 for one or both? For one of them I'd definitely do that. You still have a Xbox to play on. Then like you said you could try to flip it too.

Well, my PS4 seems to be acting up. It was working fine, then we lost power for like a second, and now it won't completely turn on. It'll go blue light for a bit, then switch to a solid white light and do nothing else. The TV reads "no signal".
I'm not sure if it's a problem with the PS4, the TV or the HDMI cable that connects the two.

About to board my last flight, can't wait to collapse into my bed with the cat
I'm a big fan of Swappa. I think it's much more efficient than Ebay and simpler.

There aren't a lot of physical sensations as good/better than collapsing into a super comfortable bed after a long damn day.
A few tokes before this happening makes the process aces.

Sometimes its just dirty, throw it in the dishwasher on the bottom rack, it'll do the trick. Trust me.

Shouldn't you be drawing a bunch of dickbutts or something?

Related: UK peeps, what the hell is up with the Yorkshire accent? One of my new students has a really strong one and I can only understand about 75% of what they're saying in our meetings.
And this is coming from someone who speaks Pittsburghese!

Each part of the UK will say that about another part. The thing I find with Yorkshire, being a Lancashire lass myself, is that all from Yorkshire shag sheep. It usually explains a lot with the White Rose county.Related: UK peeps, what the hell is up with the Yorkshire accent?

I used to think you Brits were just wimps about accents until I heard a real thick Glaswegian accent for the first time.

Just found out that I'm eligible for Czech/EU permanent residency now (and juts have 4.5 years until I'm eligible for citizenship), so that's nice.

I basically just got offered a Fusion Engineer position in Seattle from a phone call with a hiring manager, but we both agreed that it made more sense for me to finish my Master's in Pittsburgh first and then move out to Seattle after I've finished.
I really hope the recruiting manager follows up with what he said about hiring for next year, I would really like this position and he seemed to really like me from the call. Are hiring managers genuine when they say stuff like that or do they just say that to not be a jerk? The company is looking to hire a lot of people, so there will be positions available.
Edit: when it rains it pours, just got a call about a position I applied for in San Diego
Maybe I reacted too quickly when I didn't get immediate call backs.
