I am so impressed and psyched and excited about the NECKSET! Should be ideal for hearing aids users like myself! Can't wait to see reviews! I really hope it also works on Xbox 1/1S/1X but I kind of understand if that isn't possible. Excited! So excited! Can't wait to see reviews and preorder!!!!
Edit: OOOH OOH It is compatible with Xbox One say those beautiful darlings at Hori!!! ❤️😘❤️😘
Happity happity!
Sunless Sea Zubmariner Edition 67% off deserves both a mention and a play. There's nothing quite like it. It's also on Switch if you want to play that way.
Things should improve a lot in a couple of years. This reminds me of older phones where it was painful how much storage was eaten by the OS. Nowadays good phones don't have that problem as they have so much RAM. Similarly I'm guessing in 2-3 years time we'll have 5TB expandable for XS. Then storage truly won't be an issue for the rest of the gen.
I think it'll take until Spring or Summer 2021 until there are a good menu of games that were fully designed from scratch to be great on Xbox SX. Until then we won't see the full advantage of the console.
@BlueOcean I'm not going to knock PS5 as I hope in couple of years or so I'll actually own a PS5 as my first ever PlayStation! I'm trusting that the PS5 expandable option will be fairly simple albeit quite different. Sony have been somewhat opaque about it so more will be revealed in time. But yes Xbox SX expandable sounds lightning fast to swap out which is very appealing!
I love the Xbox SX but I'm waiting until they release a model that has a fun game themed design across its glorious box. Hopefully by then I'll have a TV that can make the most of Series X!
The price is seriously totally reasonable for several reasons. 1) Very likely most people's minds will change when they see how fast the internal drive is at deleting and saving. The bottleneck likely won't be your internal memory, it'll be your Internet connection. If that's great such as with WIFI6E you likely won't care about deleting and saving because of how fast it IS.
2) By the sound of it neither Microsoft or Seagate are making any profit on these expandables. Microsoft are already selling you a great console at either cost price or loss and giving you incredible affordable Game Pass. You want them to also take a loss on expandable storage you don't strictly need as well?!
3) This expandable at this price is really aimed at pro gamers and streamers who actually need it and will pay for it. It's like the Elite controller. All Microsoft is doing is creating a product niche that didn't exist before.
4) In time Microsoft will probably bring down the cost of expandables. They're creating a market and they'll be keen to expand it, particularly if lower costs means more AZURE usage and more enterprise sales. But my guess is this expandable storage will always cost at least £100 for the next couple of years. So if you don't need it, no reason to complain. If you need it, even if that's just because you have ADHD like I do and patience isn't your strong suit, save up and accept the cost gracefully.

Re: Reminder: Four Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass Today (Sep 30)
Sad to see Dirt 2.0 go but I expect it'll be back at some point next year or cheap in a sale next year.
Re: Microsoft Explains Why The Xbox Series Expansion Card Is So Expensive
@BlueOcean In that case enjoy it to the full in good health!
Re: Video: Here's What Happens When You Turn On The Xbox Series X
I do like the start up sound. Very Hans Zimmer. Orchestral and cinematic. Suggests a lot of ambition to make this gen jaw droppingly awesome.
Re: Video: Here's What Happens When You Turn On The Xbox Series X
TBH going from Xbox 1S to Xbox 1X I've already been impressed by home screen load time from cold boot.
