For those looking for a deal on the 1TB expansion drive for the new Microsoft Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S models, the Latitude Pay deal brings the price down from the RRP of $359 down to $309.
For those who don't know what this is/how it's different to traditional external USB storage in the context of the new consoles, here's a handy guide taken from the Xbox site:
USB 3.1 HDD/SSD | Seagate Expansion Card | |
---|---|---|
Stores any Xbox game | Yes | Yes |
Plays Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Original Xbox games | Yes | Yes |
Plays games optimized for Xbox Series X|S | No | Yes |
Replicates speed and performance of internal SSD | No | Yes |
I was tempted to get this but decided to wait it out and see how prices change over time and whether or not I even need to upgrade the 1TB storage yet.
Even with the discount storage is the biggest ripoff for these new consoles.
