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.
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.

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
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.

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.
