Yet you bought it.
Just delete games once you’re done playing them.
What size is it, OP?
Don’t worry they will be adding more vendors and the price will come down!!! /s
I think they were talking shit the entire time…
No, Microsoft thanks you OP.
You haven’t owned older versions… the 360 hard drive was _nuts_
I remember back during the PS3 vs 360 console war people were shitting on the PS3 for being so expensive. But when you compared it to all that it came with versus what you needed to get for the 360 the PS3 was actually $50 cheaper.
That thing never goes on sale either
omg i just looked up the price and it’s more than i paid for my xbox series s
Hold up, first it was wifi adapters *then* it was memory cards?
I had memory cards before wifi existed.
That thing costs 260 where i live
Wait, the new Xbox uses memory cards? What year is this?
The greed is disgusting
I love how people defend MS here. The proprietary storage solution is bullshit and anti-consumer.
Microsoft loves to fist your bum after you a grip on a console. Don’t you know? The original Xbox needed a DVD playback thing to even run DVD’s.
We shamed $ony for the proprietary memory cards on the Vita, but somehow we also give Micro$oft a pass.
I never really thought about whether or not me getting this was a bad thing. Shit.
I had completely forgotten about that stupid Wi-Fi card because the 360 didn’t come with Wi-Fi (even the hard drive was optional in the lower skus iirc)
Don’t forget the OG Xbox DVD player kit
Is Microsoft bringing back the memory cards?!?
M$ thanks you for supporting their egregious capitalism.
Xbox could play DVDs. If you bought the extra DVD specific remote.
Holy shit, in Australia this thing 1tb is around $400 dollars and the 2tb $700
iirc aren’t these things just a regular m.2 inside an enclosure?
Lol I love this! All the fanboys were like this is so much better because it’s super easy to just ug in and you’re done… meanwhile PS5 doesn’t have to pay the proprietary MS markup and can get drives 2x the size for half the cost.
Image the heat Sony would receive if they launched proprietary memory cards for PS5.
This comment section: Oh, it’s Microsoft, that’s alright then.
I remember thinking “man I really gotta take those plates off to put this memory expansion in my PS5?” But it literally took me less than 5 minutes.
I can’t believe how quickly I maxed out the console space and I just got the X 2 weeks ago
Boy wasn’t around for the OG console peripherals. N64 rumble pack, game save expansion, and memory expansion as well as PS1 memory cards.
Can’t believe Sony, yes SONY! Got this right. The makers of the ps vita proprietary memory card let you use any 4.0 nvme.
What is the world coming to.
Yeah, big L for Microsoft.
*Laughs in Nintendo switch micro sd*
Funny how Sony is now the good guy and letting you use a normal SSD you can buy from Amazon.
I agree this is a bullshit ripoff, the 2tb card cost more than the fucking xbox did.
I learned this the hard way when I plugged in my 4tb external and I kept getting the “you need to transfer this to the internal for it to work” bullshit message.
After pricing out the cards I’m fucking furious with microsoft and their monopolizing bullshit practices.
Im currently looking at the adapter card and a 1tb sd card but i’m really turned off with the sizes available.
