I recently came across some threads on, er, Threads, that were discussing the upcoming holidays and whether or not you should unbox and set up a console you were gifting to your kids.
There were plenty of arguments on both sides, but it's not the first time the topic has come up for me. I had the same internal dialog last year when gifting my son an Xbox Series S for his birthday. I decided to open it up, get it set up, then re-box and wrap it.
