Yup, long history of nickel and diming their customers on storage.I recall it being brought up many times that PS3 could use standard storage while 360 was stuck with its proprietary crap.

I never saw peole bashing Xbox for it, mind or saying how much better the PS3 was over the 360I recall it being brought up many times that PS3 could use standard storage while 360 was stuck with its proprietary crap.
I mean just look at Surface line cost and they should tell us all we need to know.this is why I think their next 'modular' PC/console will probably be expensive as fuck.

What a difference buying a few studios can make ....
Adapter is not a problem, drive spec & key encryption is.
Why? You can just buy a USB enclosure and put a cheaper NVMe SSD in itIt would be great if you can use it on pc. Its damn annoying wanting to upgrade an internal ssd on a gaming pc. If you can just plug this to a usb 3.0 port I would buy one. Alas.
People like me?People like you seem to forget the trick Xbox tried to play with 360 and custom casing for a basic HD and the eye-watering price it looked to charge for a 60GB Hard Drive
Funny how that was never an issue then

WTF are you talking about?
I just relayed a bit of info during the Series prototyping
I wasn't implying anything was better or worse or talking about 360 vs PS3 days

So this week I am an Xbox hater because last week I was an Xbox fanboy?The hate Xbox gets on NeoGAF these days is taking the piss and all becasse they bought a few studios. I agree the asking price is too high for the storage card, so was it for the 360 HardDrive before Xbox brought out the 250Gb model
That's for the birds. It's a royal pain in the ass having to unlug the console and all the wires every time you want to change the drive on the PS5 (and I have 2) On the Xbox its so much easier, but where I wished the slot was on the front of the unit rather than the back.
Both formats have their pros on cons...
It depends on when you feel like playing a certain game, and you always get that urge to play that certain game after you swapped the storage card, much like on the Xbox, but at least I don't have to unplug the leads and move the console to swap the drive
Both methods have pros and cons.

That's the fuck up. When they priced it out during development, they should have known that the price made it not make sense. Storage has some of most volatile prices amongst all computer components. This makes it so you cannot take never advantage of low prices or cross shop manufacturers/brands. Ease of insertion is really the only thing this has going for it.I have a 1TB card I picked up on eBay for a good price when I first bought my Series S years ago. I don't think it's a "fuckup" at all and provides, like you say, a more elegant solution than slapping on an external SSD for those that want it. However, the prices are indeed a bit steep.
If you agree that the price is too high what are you complaining about? Valid criticism is now "Xbox hate"?The hate Xbox gets on NeoGAF these days is taking the piss and all becasse they bought a few studios.

Apologies... but generations? I only really remember PS Vita cards. PSP cards could be used in digital cameras too so im excluding them in this comparison (and won't count memory cards from 'ancient days').Sony tried this shit for generations, and just when they gave up... MS thinks it's a great idea. Genius.

I don't think I ever went above 1 TB on my Series X. I'd rather buy a Switch 2 with that amount of money.
You wouldn't, because unless they altered the design, these SSD's are the cheapest of the cheap and cacheless meaning they don't even have the expensive logic part of the BoM like a regular quality NVME such as a Samsung 980 ProIt would be great if you can use it on pc. Its damn annoying wanting to upgrade an internal ssd on a gaming pc. If you can just plug this to a usb 3.0 port I would buy one. Alas.
The solution isn't elegant at all, the card is literally erect 69 miles out from the consoles back side.One of their many fuckups. Yes, it's more elegant than removing a panel and swapping out an NVMe drive, but the cost is not worth it. The PS5 solution isn't even that cumbersome. The only annoying part is removing those stupid faceplates.
I meant that it was a good idea in principle. It's just so easy to use and convenient in that it takes up no space. I do love that it is an option and I hope that it remains for whatever console / Windows Box they make next.That's the fuck up.

These people are so out of touch....
I'd say it's not even elegant when you have something sticking out of your console vs one that is part of the console built in. It's just slightly more convenient if you move the drive around and I'm not sure how many people are doing that and paying £425 for the privilege. That's more than the price of the competitors entire console just for some storage. Insanity.One of their many fuckups.

If I wasn't so lazy, I'd look up all the turfers defending it's portability "convenience" nobody ever does when expanding their own console storage. That one should "pay" for that.Just another reminder that proprietary storage sucks

Losers, lol.
They want to sell hardware, just not physical based.It makes sense if your goal is to not sell hardware
Finally a task they are good at
My favorite was Dark and Riky who ended their Gaf terms when the program ended... but anyways, they would say how "convenient it was to bring it over your friends and put in their Xbox and play your games," or "hot swapping between the 4 Xboxes you have in your home."Darling, it's "priceless" remember:

Must still be dreaming.
I think you might be right. They are not shying away from increased prices for the remainder of this generation. The next generation price increase will be less sticker shock based on this new normal.this is why I think their next 'modular' PC/console will probably be expensive as fuck.
