It's only been a month since the Xbox Series X & S's Seagate 1TB Expansion Card reached its lowest price ever in the UK, and while it hasn't quite got to that level again, it's nevertheless on sale right now over at Amazon.
The recommended retail price for the storage card is a whopping £219.99, but Amazon has discounted it by 13% for the time being, bringing it down to £190.52. There's no word on how long this offer is expected to last.

The reason the Seagate 1TB Expansion Card is so expensive is because it's custom built to run at exactly the same high speeds as the internal storage on the new consoles, meaning games load much faster than on last-gen systems, and transferring data between the internal storage and the Expansion Card is seriously rapid.
You can, of course, just store next-gen games on any old USB hard drive until you're ready to play them, and Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox games work just fine on generic external hard drives, so you don't need one of these right away. But, just like last time, this is a good deal if you really want to pick one up right away.

So glad I pick this up from curry’s couple months back £170. Not the best of prices for this sort of storage but considering no swapping over games from internal is a must buy. For me anyway
Still too expensive and I’m doing just fine managing my space at the moment. At least these work as intended
When it's closer to £100 I might be tempted
I am totally fine with SX internal SSD, It is more than enough for me.
I’m holding out until it’s $100. Until then I will chug along using the external mechanical drive to store all non Xbox series X games.
That's still almost as much as the actual series s console itself 😂
@GateCrasherUK You're gonna have a long wait. £219 is currently the average price for this size and type of SSD. And with all the new cryptocurrency mining going on that uses SSDs, expect the overall price of SSDs in general to go up rather than down as miners start buying up all the stock.
@Psychosocialite Yes I do know that but I am in no rush I have very fast Internet so uninstalling and downloading new games takes no time so really this would not even be necessary for me personally but like I said in the long run if the prices dropped alot then maybe I would get one anyway.
