It’s 364 GB of useable space, and with MCC you save little by removing just the campaigns. I have them installed though as we play 4 player coop regularly a few times a month.
I bought the 1TB expansion so I have no problems, but you’re having a laugh if you think 364 GB is enough with the number of game in the region of 80-100 GB. I can fit 4 games on that, all of which I play regularly.
it’s actually quicker for me to redownload games than to use the 120-130Mb/s external drives, but I appreciate that not everyone has access to 10Gb fibre.
Yeah even with basic VDSL, I dont find downloading that big a deal, I queued up FH4 and 2-3 hours later it was downloaded, no big deal to redownload games, but if it ever becomes an issue for me in the future the solution is a external WD passport drive as cold storage and for use to store clips/videos, run BC games.
The problem here seems to be a lot of people want to store their entire library offline, the console world still has that offline mentality. Only about 5% of my steam library is installed, and most of it on spindle, I move active games (that benefit from it) to ssd when needed.
A 500 gig nvme drive costs about third of the price of a Series S at retail, so not that stingy. As I think a few of us said earlier as well, a lower cost of entry with less storage is preferable to a higher price with more space.
The only game I own that is 80 gig size is ff7 remake on the ps4, and we now know that has over 30 gig of textures that arent even used in the game, devs are very disrespectful when it comes to resources.
Yeah think you're in the minority with 10Gb, lol.
Do you have an S and the expansion or the X?
Anyone buying an S and then the expansion is obviously nuts as makes more sense to just buy an X with twice the storage.
I've got tons installed on my X and still plenty of room, and any single player stuff like Jedi Fallen Order will get removed once I complete it.
Not sure why there are so many complaints about storage space after a week, how many games can people play at once, and it's not like the storage size isn't advertised.
Its all a bit strange, if 360 gig is a problem, then in reality so is the 800 gig or so you get on the X, in the grand scheme of things it isnt much bigger. Also what are all these 80 gig games, that people have just suddenly decided to download, are people going to play all the games at the same time?
Seems to go back to that culture again, that people just download as they want it all offline stored.
100% agree on buying the seagate, £200 for a TB is insane, and it is sad to see consoles pushing that model again, I think the S and X are both sold at a loss, if you look at whats in them, these expansion kits are their way of recouping that money. For that price I would expect it to be MLC or SLC nand which I expect it isnt. For reference my 360 gig storage is currently 31% used.
I have just discovered the Xbox Dash is horrible at managing storage space though, cannot find an easy way to see total usage of my captures, on the ps4 dash its a simple breakdown. If anyone knows how I wouldnt mind been told how.
