Get a new PS5, Xbox or Nintendo Switch for your kids? Here's the best way to set it up

It's no secret one of the hottest tech gifts is a video game console. No matter what you retailer you visit, it's likely product pages for Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X all feature a similar message: sold out. But some consumers have been lucky enough to snag a new video game console, whether through that well-timed Twitter follow, or a determined internet search testing your ability to quickly tap refresh on your browser. If you bought a new video game console for your kids, don't start wrapping just yet. You want to make sure it's set up and ready so they can enjoy it right out of the box.
