Non-Proprietary Storage Solution > Other (Xbox unveils new storage sizes)

[PS5 Pro]

Anybody sitting around fronting like if the Xbox would have also taken off the shelf NVME drives and they wanted to expand the storage with the options at $399.99 for 2TBs on an external card and $339.99 for 2TBs on the NVME drive is a damn lie that they gonna buy that $399.99 card over the drive. Hell you could get that drive and a game to go with it and that's even buying a $10 heat sink too.

It is what it is. They both came out and there was a level of price equality and the Xbox's solution was better. Now that the Sony solution is on average close to $50 cheaper for the same storage it's the better value. The price is highly likely to continue to fall while the Xbox solution's price isn't likely to budge.

You're being disingenuous, first off the average price isn't $50 cheaper, you just the other day found one discounted at that price and you're saying that's the average

And you have this false notion that one will get cheaper and cheaper will they other will stay the same because..... ????

Microsoft gets them cheaper than you can, so they can sell it for cheaper if they want to. They dictate the market, if what you're saying becomes a thing they'll sell it at cost and make profits elsewhere. Storage isn't really a problem on Xbox, and streaming from a virtual storage space while a game downloads is already next up so again, we won't need more storage. Only a weirdo needs 4tb of storage. Hoarder shyt, some people have DVD collections too. Silly shyt, internet will be here...

OK then why hasn't the price really changed on the 1TB option so far? The price on the SSDs fall because more than just PS5 gamers use them so it makes it far easier for it to drop and will continue to do so.

It dropped a couple of weeks for the first time, then y'all made a thread on it. And then weeks later I seen you post a discounted price from one place and that's when you determined that was there average price which I then was like

As for when, just because one is cheaper at the moment didn't mean it'll stay that way. Chip shortages are still a thing, and when it comes to systems they just announced systems will be in short supply until 2023 at the earliest. So even your SSD prices are not stabilized yet for you to assume it won't go up again.

And when that does happen, it'll happen everywhere Xbox included. Right now there's no real need to jump the gun. When this becomes an issue for the majority is when they'll focus on it. Right but it's a bunch of privileged douchebags who want to have a bunch of games on the storage for their expensive systems that the majority of people still can't even get ahold of yet.

So there's no rush...
