It's silly to buy an expensive expansion drive if you have non Series S/X games taking up your internal hard drive space. Move those to an external SSD, they load just as fast and don't benefit from being on the internal drive.

I'd buy the 1TB if it was $90. Really don't need 2 TB.

Understandable. And that's too bad for me. I would love to sell you mine for $80. Regardless, waiting for a better option is not a bad idea.

If I didn't already have the 1TB Seagate expansion card, I'd probably bite. This is a "good deal" for this, but still. I already bought the 4TB Samsung T5 EVO today for my Xbox (backwards compatible games). I feel weird spending $400 in a day on Xbox storage. 😂

I might have bought this a few years ago. Paid $120 or so for 1tb bc of the inelasticity. And now that it's here, I stopped caring. Could have used it then. Now it's a little too late. I grew apathetic to the situation of GPU and Xbox philosophy and proprietary ecosystem. Their anti-competitive practice and lack of first party initiative and delusional justifications for all the wrong reasons.. I tired of defending their bad decisions. They couldn't have created the worst consumer response to their product, indifference. They taught me to find a new hobby and now I read books which i previously hated.
Damn, good for you

I guess. I mean you not wrong. Though you control what you can control. Vote with your wallet and clearly you have.

The same goes for anyone else. The need to moan and groan at XYZ wont solve anything, ever. I for example bought this for $100, for 1TB variant alone, knowing it was and still overpriced today however I have gained optimal experience with it since then and it still does that. Versus waiting for $50 price point or less forever.

There is more than just slickdeal ya know.

Picked up a 1TB drive last year for $100 so might come back around if you don't need 2TB.

Pro tip, use an old 1TB ssd to store all your non S|X Xbox games to keep them off this drive.

Why is that important? I don't understand. It defeat the purpose of having this in the first place; store all Xbox games. Not limiting to Series games

I have a similar story. I have been in the xbox ecosystem for nearly a decade (xbox one + pre-ordered series X). Then a few months ago it started to have hardware problems, which would require a $300 out-of-warranty repair from Microsoft.

Instead of doing the repair or getting another xbox, I decided to get a gaming PC. I have had enough about xbox not getting enough games and this expansion drive situation. With a gaming PC, I get to play almost any game, including many Sony games that were recently ported to PC, plus lots of PC-only games and emulator. I can choose to install any hard drive that I want. And I don't really have to upgrade GPU whenever a new one comes out, like some people like to portrait it -- I am more than happy with my current card which is very capable. I don't need 4k 120fps. And if anything goes wrong, I can actually troubleshooting the issue and just replace that part.

One thing I do miss is the ability to buy/sell physical discs. I played many games without actually spending much on them.

But on the other hand, I get to run some local LLMs on the machine and learn CUDA programming, which is a net benefit.

Price matched with Best Buy to use up reward points. I also received an email for a $10 reward on $75 spent at Best Buy with their credit card.

Basically this expansion card should be reserved for Series S and X games for optimal experience, got it. Make sense now that you expanded your pro tips.
