Lmao, yeah reasonable in the age of a pandemic with so much unemployment. That's a fuckton of money.

This is $100 more than what you can generally find 1TB SSDs for. (or $50~60 or higher for an NVME)
The economical solution is to use an existing HDD and just transfer games to and from the Xbox as you need them.
Yeah but then you can't be one of these forum goers who pretends like they switch between ten different games every day.
I don't think you realize what this actually is.
Things are rough now, but they aren't going to be losing money on accessories. If this is USD, then it's a decent price for a 1TB SSD.
That's almost the price of an entire Series S. If that's real then not having the need for proprietary storage will be a great advantage for ps5 going forward.
I knew storage would be a barrier to entry with these new consoles... I guess no external storage support then. Makes my decision that much easier.
Check 1TB SSD prices. Samsung Evo 970 is 180$. This is custom made nvme SSD that is not standard m.2 size and with different interface.
NVME are generally more expensive but this is priced a good bit higher than drives from the most reputable brands.
It'll definitely still support a regular HDD. Would be insane not to.
For the same speed as the Series X SSD?
I think people are gonna be shocked if they think they can plug any old SSD into their PS5 as well. Apparently there's nothing available today that will match their specifications. In the long run PS5 will be cheaper but it's probably gonna be a couple of years.
It's not that off compared to NVMe SSDs, right? It just looks monstrous compared to our PS4 HDD swap days.
Seems in line with a Samsung NVME drive.
QLC drives are like a hundo but not as fast.

*with QLC memory. Mid/high range drives are more expensive.
anyone that was expecting a reasonable price for a proprietary accessories from MS forgot how much they were charging for a 120gb HDD for 360
For MSRP, it's on the higher end but not beyond the pale.

Ideally should be max of $200. Big difference though is that I don't expect this to drop in price for a long time compared to a regular SSD.

A 1TB Seagate NVMe drive has an MSRP of $200. https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-Internal-Solid-State/dp/B07ZPRK68X
external game storage is supported on XSX and XSS for all games, the only caveat is you can't play next gen games off the external drive
you can still play, like, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and OG Xbox games off external drives though, and that's pretty much the vast majority of everyone's software libraries right now
I expected $150-199 when comparing to simlar class PC SSDs. Hopefully this is placeholder.
SSD's for PS5 that have to be over double the speed of the propriety Xbox drives are going to be more expensive than whatever this ends up being.
I thought the PS5 only accepted a specific SSD as well. Isn't the idea that expandable SSD storage provides the same fast loading speeds instead of the slow SSD/HDD solution?
