I've have just managed to purchase a X-Box Series S (there are limited quantities at Smyths stores around the country if you are still looking). When it comes to any form of 'driving manual' I've drawn a blank. There are basic instructions for getting it set up on line included in the box. I had no problems with this, or accepting the offer for the introductory Games Pass. After that you are seemingly on your own.
My past gaming experiences have been on PCs, Tablets and phones. I appreciate that many people will be coming to the new models from experiences with previous versions, which will have similarities. Obviously different games will have varying control arrangements and, so far you pick up clues on this. However you would think that such a high value product, having been many years in development, will have a suitable basic 'User Guide' for customers either as a physical document or a pdf. I know there is a Q & A section built into the system but it is not always convenient to be switching from one screen to another to read it. Am I missing something, or is this usual in the life of a new Microsoft product?
