Yep, I just have my old spinning disk external 3TB HDD that I unplugged from my old Xbox One and plugged straight into the Series X. Most of the stuff just carried on working. It's slow compared to SSD but is adequate for running XB1 and BC games off for me. I would imagine an external SSD would be not far off the same performance as having them on the internal and also make moving games from one to the other super quick. 1TB capacity on the internal SSD has been more than adequate for me although I did have to uninstall Flight Simulator to make some room. I don't play it enough to warrant having it on there and I find it plays pretty well via Xcloud for those times I want to fire it up and fly around. Most games are well under 100GB so you can easily fit well over a dozen games on internal and that's just for the ones that are mandated for internal storage which isn't necessarily everything. There is certainly enough flexibility and "options" there for most and it's certainly not so restrictive that it's worth getting outraged about. The Series S on the other hand, I can see the storage on that being a bit tight for people who bought one not realising the capacity.
Valid points I'm sure will go unseen. Nobody is forced to buy anything
LMAO I bet you also like it when Apple do such things like proprietary charger. LMFAO
Really? Why are people crying about TLOU remake and the rumored HZD remaster?
You seem to think you know a lot about me although nope, I don't buy Apple products. Haven't done since my 3rd gen iPod. I also haven't bought the Series X storage expansion either. Fact is that you don't need to. Don't call me a corporate apologist either. In my post I said that you do have options on Series X including buying the expansion but also said that Series S internal storage is too small. I just call it like I see it and try to be as unbiased as possible. I happen to think Series X is an awesome console and also agree that the expansion is over priced but, you don't need to buy it.
It doesn't matter if o know about you or not. Proprietary stuff is anti consumer. Stuff being a corporate apologist. Smdh
You're just repeating yourself now, maybe you're shaking your head a bit too vigorously? Also, who's apologising anyway and for what?
You're assuming I'm a Sony fanboy and thus will blindly defend the PS5. Wrong. I agree that rechargeable batteries are better. I liked the fact that the 360 controllers allowed you to use either a battery pack or replace the actual AA batteries.
Your whataboutery only works on actual Sony fanboys, which I am not.
Game set and match.
You might want to look at what xbox have done for their expensive Elite controller. Yep internal batteries.
lol even the argument that batteries are "built in" has never made any sense. You can tell some have never built a PC before, if you can change out a fucking case fan, you can change you a battery from PS3, PS4, PS5...
I've only had to change a PS3 one and that was by choice as I saw it was getting lessor charge and it was a MGS4 theme PS3 controller from a PS3 bundle, ordered the battery for like 10 bucks, replaced it in mere minutes, have had it working for years (will likely last much longer as I don't game on PS3 as much now days)
so I'd rather pay the 10 bucks and have years of not thinking about vs this weird AA battery thing lol
I haven't had to do anything with my PS4 controller as I got one of those PS1 edition ones, that was like 7 years ago and the change is still normal...so maybe next year or the year after or something I'll change out the battery, but I'll take that trade off vs some AA battery thing all the time lol
Keep spinning.
Stated current contracts will be honored and will offer an additional 3 years of the title. Very fair offer.
It only means beyond that point the contract will need to be renegotiated. MS has never said they planned to remove CoD from PlayStation. That has never really been MS' MO. Sony has been far more inclined to block content on other platforms.//DEVIL// see this? 3 years doesn't meen permanent multi platform.
Yes.. fuck yes we do. Half the time I need to replacw my phone is cause the battery. It sure would also be nice to be able to carry a few battery replacements on me when traveling.
The problem isn't taking COD from PlayStation. The problem is lying and acting like he's here to save gaming and for the gamers when he's just another business man. Phil is the most political/fake person in all of gaming.
And we love him for it. I call it Phillatio.
Yes I did read that before. But it only implies that for the next 5 years, the game is coming to PlayStation for sure ( 3 years phill offered plus 2 that Sony has as exclusive ) , beyond that it means nothing is for certain because things needs to be negotiated.
We can agree to disagree. Phil never said he was going to save gaming but it is objectively true that putting Activision games on cloud streaming will get it on more platforms.
It's clear at this point you got nothing.
Simple solution- don't buy it! I refuse to buy into his gamepass bullshit and I'm sticking with it.

I'd also keep in mind some of the people here are the same ones who acted like putting a M.2 drive in the PS5 was rocket science.
Ok this is fucking good. Lol

prefers to be able to take his expansion card to other people's houses so that's good for him.
That's fine. Still just a matter of preferences. Same with SSD.
The internal PS5 SSD? I don't think so. An external drive? Maybe but PS5 doesn't like you disconnecting a drive without shutting it down first. So do it at your own risk.
An external HDD with Xbox is just as hot swappable as the expansion card. You can easily transport it to a friend's house and play games off of it as long as you have the license.
Biggest player base is on mobile.
