This is perfect for my daughter and her Series S. I suspect a lot of parents and those who use the S as a secondary/GamePass console (say PC or PS primary users) will appreciate a cheaper SSD option. 512GB doesn’t seek like much storage, but it more than doubles the Series S capacity and puts it into PS5 factory internal storage amount range. My kid is probably like a lot of others in that she has her ‘social’ online games she plays with her friends plus a few newer release favorites. Nearly 900GB will make her happy (plus she has a 1TB portable HDD).
@Gr81 agree. My daughter has a Series S, and this would be perfect for her. She mostly plays a few games online with her friends and this would be a good size/price.
@AhabSpampurse I certainly respect your viewpoint, but you more or less just proved my point. If this was Santa Monica or Insomniac, you’d have it pre-ordered already.
I’ve always been of the portable screens. Still have the PSOne with an LCD screen. Sure, it’s usefulness to most may be limited, but for travel or small spaces it’s cool.
Ot a good look all the way around. Xbox’s key franchise still can’t get a problem-free release. At this point it’s really a big bummer. More console war fodder to boot.
Negativity and fear-mongering. Screaming with your hair on fire before it’s really even an issue for 99% of people, and still tons of time to figure something out.
It’s actually fun. I usually hate online multiplayer, but I’ve helped win some matches, and cost my team some matches. It’s kind of addictive and easy to pick up, yet hard for me to master. Worth some time though.

Smooth as silk.
Re: 8BitDo Is Bringing Its Popular Pro 2 Controller To Xbox This December
I will say this would be a great controller for a lot of Indie titles. Mighty Goose, Flynn, Huntdown, Blazing Chrome, etc.
Re: 8BitDo Is Bringing Its Popular Pro 2 Controller To Xbox This December
@Rural-Bandit same. 25 years in and I still don’t like PS’s stick placement.
Re: Once Again, Call Of Duty: Vanguard Will Have Exclusive Benefits On PlayStation
That’s cool, Sony fans don’t get Halo Infinite, I’ll just play that.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Is Getting A Cheaper 500GB Series X|S Expansion Card
@Gr81 agree. My daughter has a Series S, and this would be perfect for her. She mostly plays a few games online with her friends and this would be a good size/price.
Re: Xbox Game Studios' Deathloop Becomes One Of The Highest Reviewed PS5 Games Of 2021
@AhabSpampurse I certainly respect your viewpoint, but you more or less just proved my point. If this was Santa Monica or Insomniac, you’d have it pre-ordered already.
Re: Xbox Game Studios' Deathloop Becomes One Of The Highest Reviewed PS5 Games Of 2021

Re: Video: Here's A Look At The Final 'xScreen' Design For Xbox Series S
I’ve always been of the portable screens. Still have the PSOne with an LCD screen. Sure, it’s usefulness to most may be limited, but for travel or small spaces it’s cool.
Re: Halo Fans Want The Xbox Series X Limited Edition Controller To Be Sold Separately

Re: Halo Infinite Won't Include Co-Op Or Forge At Launch This Fall
Ot a good look all the way around. Xbox’s key franchise still can’t get a problem-free release. At this point it’s really a big bummer. More console war fodder to boot.

Negativity and fear-mongering. Screaming with your hair on fire before it’s really even an issue for 99% of people, and still tons of time to figure something out.
Re: Hands On: Knockout City - Has The Potential To Be The Next 'Big' Thing
It’s actually fun. I usually hate online multiplayer, but I’ve helped win some matches, and cost my team some matches. It’s kind of addictive and easy to pick up, yet hard for me to master. Worth some time though.
