Preorders are up for Xbox Series S|X 1TB proprietary SSD

I have a family that - despite having their own consoles and monitors - always want to steal my theater area for gaming. As such, I need console with space for multiple game preferences available at a given time.

Sounds like what you really need is for there to be a lock in the Microsoft store

Oh, I see! Yeah, no, luckily I am the only one who uses the Xbox in my house! When my nephews come over they usually play my Switch.

@SpiderLink

I’m in the same boat. It’s tempting to go for “more” but realistically I don’t know that I would ever need this, really. I guess it might be a factor for people with data caps, who would download games based on that? Seems kinda miserable to be honest =/

I mean, look at this:

I have 20 games installed in my standard 1TB HD, and I still have over 200 GB free - enough to download all those five Series X games I mentioned on my previous post!

Yeah, exactly. I managed to snag a 5TB external HDD for 90 USD so storage isn’t going to be an issue for me so much as transfer speeds via USB. I see you’re looking forward to DQXI too, ha ha.

There is, and I use it! I pretty much buy everything and share it out.

Very nice! I remember those days (minus nephews). So much more peaceful.

I’ll wait for 4TB versions down the line. Perhaps prices will come down by then. In the meantime, I’ll just use my external and transfer between it and the SSD. We have better internals now along with Velocity architecture, so I expect speed transfers will be better than what we have now on the Xbox One.

By then, I re-gift my pre-ordered 1TB to my kid like an unwanted years-old fruit cake!
