Re: Well, new HDD prices are irrelevant anyway

: The second paragraph of that article says "you'll be able to bolster
: your storage with an external hard drive connected to one of Xbox One's
: USB 3.0 ports."

: Who CARES that you can't replace the 500GB drive inside? You can attach a 4TB
: drive OUTSIDE!

Ah ah ah, now. I'm not jumping on the 'let's moan for the sake of it' aspect just yet.

The article says you can attach an external USB HDD.
But it doesn't say there will be no limitations on it.

We can plug a 4TB HDD into the Xbox 360 right now.
It won't let you use more than 32gb of it though.

Worst case scenario, absolutely, but we have precedent. Time will tell on that.
To be really picky, they will also likely recommend an AC adaptor powered unit, rather than USB powered, so that's extra wires and power.

Personally, I prefer onboard simply for neatness, convenience and efficiency.

The point is mainly that for the features that the console is boasting, the increase of capacity is rather modest. Even short-sighted.

No need to be getting worked up now, I'm not. ;)
Just commentating and reflecting.
