One thing I’m not liking about this generation is all these games getting next gen updates under new sku’s. A really convenient setup was where the next gen patches still kept the game as a Xbox one sku so you could still run them off of the external hard drive, halo mcc and the division 2 are like this. But now games are becoming new sku’s with the update and now requiring ssd storage space which is already limited. The Microsoft store has a new 2tb ssd insert card for 379 so that’s gonna be a hard pass.
Storing games on the external hdd is working for now, but waiting 45 mins to move a big 80gb+ game is starting to get annoying, especially when it’s just a last gen game with minor graphic updates (I’m looking at you borderlands 3)

Buy Seagate Game Drive for Xbox SSD - Microsoft Store
upon further looking at it I don’t know if this would allow us to play those current gen games off it
Ya, since its an external prolly wont run games with the S/X upgrades. We stuck with that plug in card for now
looks good for usin to transfer games back n forth tho instead of an hdd
Yeah, that's kinda wack. I guess that's a necessary evil of Smart Delivery. The price on the add-in card is not good, but it helps a lot. Scour Slickdeals and Ebay and try to get a good deal on one. My only complaint I that they don't pool them into one partition. That would make it mad easy to keep track of stuff.

So great news according to Reddit, the shadow of the tomb raider next gen patch makes it a 9-gen-aware title meaning you can still run it off an external hdd…great for me cause I need the little internal ssd space I got left for flight simulator
This Microsoft summer sale looks okay I might cop some games and the series s tonight and get one for my parents...
Also my mom and dad use the original xbox one to work out to dance spotlight central using the kinect, will they be able to use kinect on a series s?

Nope. Kinect is dead n the games aint compatible with the new xboxes
Well that sucks, either way they don't care they just use it to work out and sometimes I got to help them when they get stuck

So I bought a new Power A controller.....mostly for just one reason...this shade of green in amazing 
Some comparison pics
So this controller is fukking amazing...I'm legit in shock how well they replicated the feel of a xbox controller. Only key differences is the weight is lighter, the front feels more plastic smooth compared to the official matte xbox controller finish, and this is not a wireless controller, its wired which comes with a pretty long usb cable. As I'm usually using fightsticks and playing retro consoles a wired controller is no big deal to me, but be mindful of that if you prefer wireless controllers.
Starting with the postives, this is a great controller, the sticks are amazing and feel just like the real thing. The buttons feel very good to touch although raised a tad higher than the official controller. General controller rumble is very strong and responsive. D-Pad is very responsive and feels great to touch, it passed the street fighter test
The clear nob in the middle acts as a volume dial for headphone audio, and as you can see in the pic lights up when a controller is plugged in. It makes controller your audio very convenient when in the middle of gaming. As you can also see in the back, it has two programmable elite controller type extra buttons that you program by using that middle circle button on the top. Comes in handy for fps games....will prolly map jump and reload to these buttons when playing halo.
For the negatives...You lose everything premium about the official triggers, no trigger rumble and lack of that premium feel when pulling down on a official xbox controller. These triggers remind me a lot of the 360 controller triggers. To compensate, the precise rumble is in the base of the controller, so what you would normally feel in the rumble triggers like for example Forza, you feel it in the base of the hold controller when braking, accelerating, etc. So its a loss but something you can get use to. And then as I mentioned earlier, if you need wireless controllers this ain't for you....its a long cable but still a cable and depending on your home setup that might be an issue for you. A personal negative for me is the lack of weight....I've grown accustom to controllers having a hefty weight to them, feels more premium and this is a very light controller, in turn makes it feel a tad more "toy" ish.
So final review? I love it. Probably the best third party controller I've used, Power A really nailed this one which makes since as they are pros at making nintendo switch controllers now, so going for as close to authentic as possible is their thing. For 40 dollars and the colors it comes in, I gotta recommend it. Especially if you're like me and need a color Microsoft doesn't provide, the official green they use is too yellow tinted for my taste and I prefer this jade type shade of green
And for only 40 dollars, I'm definitely getting another one for to make my main PC controller..prolly the spectra edition which looks sick and has customizable LED backlighting
