Hi there! My name is Frank Sturm, and I’ve been passionate about gaming for over 40 years, with a specific love for all things Xbox.

Gaming has been my escape, my connection to a wider community, and my way of exploring new worlds without ever leaving my couch.

One unique thing about me? My journey into gaming on a budget started after a life-changing event. I broke my back, which led to four surgeries and eventually meant I had to leave the workforce due to ongoing limitations and pain. Gaming became more than just a hobby—it became a way to stay connected with friends, keep my mind active, and find some joy during tough times. Over the years, I’ve learned how to make the most of the gaming world without spending a fortune, and now I love sharing those tips with others.

I started this blog, Xbox Saver Zone, because I believe gaming should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget. Through my posts, I focus on sharing insider tips for snagging deals, reviews of budget-friendly gaming gear, and advice on getting the most out of Xbox Game Pass. My goal? To help gamers save money while still leveling up their experience.

One of my most memorable gaming moments was buying my very first Xbox, a 360, in 2007 through an online auction for just $140. That moment marked the beginning of my journey as a dedicated Xbox gamer. While I don’t play a lot of multiplayer games, I love diving into RPGs and simulators, where I can get lost in immersive stories and detailed worlds. When I do game online, it’s usually with a small circle of close friends I’ve connected with over the years. Most of my gaming discussions happen in real life, where I enjoy geeking out about new releases, gaming strategies, and hidden gems.

Unfortunately, due to my injury, I’m now classified as disabled. However, my brain keeps working, and I’ve found new passions to keep me engaged and creative. I enjoy exploring the world of online business and websites, experimenting with different ways to build something meaningful. I also dabble in YouTubing, even though I haven’t recorded many videos lately, and, of course, blogging, which lets me share my thoughts and connect with others. When I’m not working on my projects, you can usually find me binge-watching my favorite shows from the past or discovering new ones on streaming services.
