Seems I missed that!! Man that isn’t widely known, even looking at a good few websites none mentioned this.
I finally found the info from an article back in March.
Good to know and thank you for the correction :)
Hi Everyone,
Just thought I’d chime in here to clear up any info regarding the Xbox Series internal SSD and the expansion SSD.
Firstly lets talk about the size of games:
Game sizes on the Series X|S should be SMALLER than we expect, this is due to optimised compression thanks to the Velocity...
The pricey expansion drive was expected. I was hoping for £129 but looks like it’s £159 in the UK?
Prices will come down over time. Remember, this isn’t your regular HDD, it’s a custom super-fast SSD that offers pretty insane levels of performance compared to other SSD’s.
I was going to buy it...
This is a great article - well with the read :)

Yep both consoles can go sideways :)
I had to quote this - Wagon Wheels WERE BIGGER in the past! We get so screwed these days!
Sh*t!!! Thats not a good sign! I hope this isn’t widespread! Left us know what they come back with please.
Thats odd - and sh*tty! Sorry dude 🙁
I am not...
Another size comparison.
I am seriously impressed with how Microsoft packed so much performance in to the compact form factor of the Series X. The engineering is outstanding!
Pic shows: PS4 Pro, PS5, Series X, Series S and One X.
Nope, nobody has had hands on time with PS5. A few days ago was the first time we even saw the back of the console.
I think that’s by design though... I don’t think Sony want people to realise just how big it really is. I have attached a couple of pictures that emerged online.
Yes, that render...
Still no pre-orders from John Lewis. Annoying as they were A confirmed pre-order retailer for 8am like everyone else!
If you aren’t going to take part JL, then don’t put your freaking name out there for pre-orders! I bet people waited all day just to get that 2 year JL warranty, only to find JL...
Legendary!! Nicely done! A friend of mine lost his GamePass Ultimate recently, I’ll ask if he renewed yet or not.
Thank you for being the guinea pig and taking a punt!! Paid off!!
Thats interesting!!
I thought the ratio was something like 3:1 or something but I don’t remember for sure and I can’t look right now. Are you going to do it??
Please let us know what happens, this could be pretty epic!!
Looks like what they are doing is against Xbox Live terms of service lol!
The official way of doing it in the UK doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore (the way you were meant to do it back then). But if you want to VPN to Brazil or something then feel free to follow that guide I guess. I have...
SimplyGames - Pre-order page is up, but its still not allowing anyone to place orders. I expect it will be live at some point today. Best to keep an eye on it:

Hmmm, doubt it tbh. Anything is possible I guess. I think it would be GAME and Smyths deciding how many they want to allocate to All Access and how many to direct sales, as they likely get a different margin on each.
Or they are already stressed out and don't want to complicate things further...
For the Series X? Kinda - although John Lewis haven’t listed theirs yet, and Smyths died so they have to come back online and finish selling their allocation - so you do still have a chance but it won’t be easy (demand is very very high).
Series S still seems available in some places according...
Well I’m an Xbox guy so my opinion is obvious lol!! Buy both?
I don’t want to start a console “war” in here because that’s lame as hell. But everything I have posted on here has been researched and is factual, so you can make a well informed decision either way.
Happy gaming!!
Mine is due to OCD as I have bought every Xbox on day one since the very first one lol.
Plus I think this machine is freaking mental so I have to have it!! There’s nothing quite like buying a next generation console and being blown away by it. I know it sounds lame but it’s an amazing feeling...
