Support NeoGAF

[KyoZz]

Random guy (?) so take it with a grain of salt, still I can see this happening:

 

[Compsiox]

Ah yes idle sloth

 

[llLeonhart]

Gotta be fake, right?
Edit:

This is screaming fake to me.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Naw I refuse to believe Microsoft is that retarded.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Proprietary storage for a videogame device? Yeah, it's gonna be exorbitantly priced.

 

[Andodalf]

I'll put this right next to that super reliable leak of the SX costing 699

 

[xGreir]

It's more affordable to buy another XboxS to download more games than buying an expansion SSD, hilarious

 

[LordCBH]

That would be a fucking terrible price.

 

[sixamp]

That's atrocious for 1gig. If this was for 2-3 gigs then ok but 1 gig nope nope nope . Another failure by Xbox

 

[Bernkastel]

This looks like placeholder price.

 

[Unknown?]

I doubt it's real but it's going to be wildly more expensive than your average SSD.

 

[quest]

Yes post random twitter account. Now 50 pages of pent up warriors after a good Microsoft news day.

Idle sloth is posted all the time and is not reputable.

 

[godhandiscen]

This is a dumb move MS. More space will help you get more sales. I wonder if they have data on space use and games owned per individual.

 

[Redlight]

Series X/S both support external HDDs. As long as there is a user-friendly way to transfer games from external storage to the SSD and back again then it really doesn't matter that much.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

How many games do you all play at once?

I basically never play more than two, three games max. Plus, all these consoles are going to start doing the partial downloads thing.

NeoGAF out of touch CONFIRMED.

 

[tryDEATH]

This is some fanboy loosing his shit and creating a "leak" to shit on Xbox hype today trying to create a negative narrative, this couldn't be more obvious.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[Max_Po]

LMAO .. what did people expect..

 

[Max_Po]

Wait until Sony's cost double that amount.

SONY does not has proprietary storage option for ps5 .... you just get one off the shelf as long as it is PCiE 4 spec
..

 

[digital_ghost]

They did charge $99 to add wifi to wifi less xbox 360s.

However I don't believe this is real. Way over priced.

 

[longdi]

as long as it is PCiE4, with >6.5gbs spec...which iirc, not in the markets as of now...

 

[wipeout364]

How much is an external 1 tb SSD drive these days? Most seagate ones seem to be close to 200 dollars on amazon or at least 150 dollars.

 

[poodaddy]

Doesnt matter what the price is, if its Seagate its not worth it. The wording so far seems to imply that other companies will produce the proprietary drives later on, Ill jump on when more reputable SSD manufacturers release an expansion card of more than a terabyte. 4tb Samsung, and I'm in.

 

[Arkam]

I am sure we have dozens of GameStop employees on these forums. This legit (if possibly placeholder) or not?

 

[Iced Arcade]

Well then.... I'm not even entertaining the idea of those prices if true.

Play, delete when done and redownload when I want to revisit.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I will take 3

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

I have a 500 gb Xbox one. The experience is the same as a 1 tb PS4 pro.

Each new game means getting rid of an old game or two. On the 1 tb system, the amount of games that I just couldnt bear to uninstall was bigger (but I still didnt play them ever)

 

[Entroyp]

No way it's more than $150

 

[Armorian]

Almost as expensive as series S

 

[Pallas]

I hope that's either fake or a placeholder because that's a bit too expensive for a single gig.

SONY does not has proprietary storage option for ps5 .... you just get one off the shelf as long as it is PCiE 4 spec

Actually it kind of is proprietary since you really can't put just any kind of SSD(or HDD obviously) inside the PS5, and there really aren't many if any at all that's PCiE 4 on the market.

 

[nikolino840]

So a seagate 1tb ssd off the shelf of a 5,5gb is less expansive then this custom seagate of 2.5?

 

[Slayer-33]

$129.99 folks.

 

[Ten_Fold]

It would remind me when you get that Xbox 360 arcade with a little memory card and had to buy the hard drive.

 

[DonF]

Actually it kind of is proprietary since you really can't put just any kind of SSD(or HDD obviously) inside the PS5, and there really aren't many if any at all that's PCiE 4 on the market.

The fact that the availability is low right now, doesn't make it proprietary. Storage prices drop fast.

 

[GHG]

You clearly don't understand what that word means considering the context in which you are using it.

Ah yes, idle sloth, the notorious PlayStation fanboy.

 

[quest]

It would remind me when you get that Xbox 360 arcade with a little memory card and had to buy the hard drive.

Little? 500gb with games at 1080p textures is probably more than 825gb with games at 4k and 8k textures.

 

[Journey]

I believe this is a controlled leak to fend off the Series S news

 

[ZehDon]

Will it be expensive? Yeah. Will it be priced at 75% of the Series S? Nah.

 

[demigod]

It would remind me when you get that Xbox 360 arcade with a little memory card and had to buy the hard drive.

it's like these folks forgot how much that 360 proprietary hard drive costed.

i'm going to go with real. MS and Seagate both want to make money.

 

[Dolomite]

That drive better scrub be able to scrub my taint with chamomile and honey for that price

 

[reinking]

That is about what I expected. If you look at current Seagate drives and add the custom branding and enclosure it makes sense.

 

[jaysius]

Holy shit, tack that onto the Xbox Series S price, the 512GBs won't stretch very far next gen.

 

[Compsiox]

Cmon guys it can't be real. They're not going to charge almost the cost of a console for this. They would not have gone in this direction if this were the case.

 

[Journey]

Holy shit, tack that onto the Xbox Series S price, the 512GBs won't stretch very far next gen.

Should we tack on the price of a high end NVMe SSD to the price of the PS5? because 825GB is pretty much the same boat LMAO.

 

[quest]

Holy shit, tack that onto the Xbox Series S price, the 512GBs won't stretch very far next gen.

And 825 gig will with games with 4x the texture size lol? The concern is very touching on a no name source.

 

[draliko]

1tb samsung nvme goes for about 190euros so doesn't seem high priced to me. Do you expect to cost less than a standard nvme drive?

 

[graywolf323]

1tb samsung nvme goes for about 190euros so doesn't seem high priced to me. Do you expect to cost less than a standard nvme drive?

yeah people have really weird expectations for the price of this drive

currently external 1TB SSDs run for ~$160 and this is newer tech than those as I understand it, plus Seagate ALWAYS charges more for their 'gaming' accessories so I'm not sure why anyone expected this not to be at least $199.99

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Random guy (?) so take it with a grain of salt, still I can see this happening:

Dang I am still buying though.

 

[THE DUCK]

I like how people are reacting to this like its a confirmed price. Remain calm.
