Xbox: mother changes password, son finds out and calls the police

Xbox

Video games, nowadays, have undergone an expansion that calling it like wildfire would be an understatement. The global gaming boom is constantly growing and more and more people like never before are approaching this world full of possibilities. It may happen, however, that in some cases the unpredictability of this media also affects some events inherent in real life, just like what happened to an Xbox player.

This is the case with what happened inside of an American family, with the telling of this funny story that is provided to us by the police of the American city of Halton. In recent days, a boy would have called the police to request an intervention. The cause of this sudden emergency? His mother had changed his password to access his personal Xbox account.

With much disbelief, an entire post was devoted to this absurd story on the pages of the Halton police Twitter account. The same agents wrote on Twitter that there is absolutely no reason to call 911 just because one of their parents dared to change their Xbox password. To add an extra touch of hilarity to the matter, Halton's police post was accompanied by a nice gif from the TV series The Office.

Never thought we'd have to say this but here we are. Mom changing your Xbox password is NOT a reason to call 911. Yes, this happened.

Outside of this nice reaction from the town police, we don't know how the matter evolved, even though it probably ended shortly after the call was received. Nor has it been clarified the reason that prompted the mother of this player to have to change the password of the console of her son. Certainly a very curious situation that, we must admit, has surprised us too.

If you own an Xbox console, you can enjoy the extensive catalog offered by the Xbox Game Pass service by purchasing the subscription on Amazon at this address .

Microsoft’s Xbox Series X / S consoles are in stock again at Target

Microsoft’s Xbox Series X and Series S consoles are some of the most sought-after consoles to buy right now. Those looking for another shot to get either console can buy one right now at Target. You will have the option to pay for either console in full or through Xbox All Access, allowing you to get either console upfront at no cost.

Similar to the PS5 restocks that went up earlier this morning, Target is limiting the purchase of these next-gen consoles to in-store pickup only. Not every store has the next-gen Xbox hardware in stock and the ones that do have a very limited supply.

Prices taken at time of publishing.

The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship console, serving as its most powerful (and biggest) option that costs $499.99. While the $299.99 Series S is aimed at smooth 1440p performance, the Series X is focused on fast 4K gameplay.

Fewer than five units are available at my local Target.

Once you secured your next-gen Xbox, I would suggest stocking up on games and accessories that will allow you to get the most out of your new console.

Several of the most popular games to play on these consoles include third-party titles like Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Additionally, some popular Xbox One titles like Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Gears 5 have all received graphical updates that take advantage of the next-gen hardware.

Of course, if you are unsure what games to buy, you could always subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which gives you access to a slew of first- and third-party titles from various developers and publishers.

The latest Yakuza game, Like a Dragon, puts a turn-based RPG spin on the series. In that way, it’s very different from its predecessors, but its signature humor is still intact.
