Reply to comment by Anubra_Khan in Is Xbox Series S worth it? by Medical-Hair-7153

You can buy a 500gb hard drive for 30$ and play games from that, obviously the ps5 is better but if your sole argument is storage then you want a disk version anyways, then the series s is a lot better value with a 30$ external hard drive.

CDKeys, game pass and store sales are a lot better than buying physical games by a mile.

You're wrong. Xbox Series S has a proprietary Seagate extension that I haven't seen dip under $100.

Game Pass doesn't have anywhere close to all available games. Good luck selling or trading your old CD Keys and digital sales are still 2x as much as a used physical disk without sales (and you can sell/trade them).

That you don’t need to buy though? My dads still using the same external hard drive from his Xbox one on his Xbox series s, you don’t need to buy that one.

If you’re buying games for 70 and selling them for 10 when you’re done you’re a moron anyways. Just buy to keep. I can guarantee I can get any game from cd keys cheaper than a second hand game in store.

Those USB's only play old games. They don't play upgraded Xbox One games or current gen games. Only the proprietary Seagate plays current gen games.

Nobody's buying games for $70 and selling for $10. You get games for $5 - $10 at thrift stores/yardsales/fb marketplace or you can pay $60 for the digital versions.

Don’t all new games come with two versions? Even still, you don’t need to play them directly from the hard drive, you can swap them back and forth from console to external hard drive, your comment about extending storage for 200$ is just stupid when it doesn’t cost that much at all. You’ve clearly never used Cd keys have you. Keep waiting to buy 2-3 year old games at thrift stores for 5$, or you can simply buy cheap a month or two after a release from cd keys. Just stop commenting back you’re making yourself out to be stupid.

The $30 external HD that you love so much is slow. Swapping games from one drive to the next takes forever. All new games don't come with 2 versions. Extended storage of $100, not $200. I use CD Keys to buy games on my PC that I already have on console. Nobody waits to find games at thrift stores. You're not grasping the concept.

I don’t love it so much it’s not even mine, I’ve got a series x, disk version of the PS5 and a PC I don’t have storage issues hahaha. It’s not like you need to swap games back and forward all the time is it, you’re not grasping the concept. The series s is a good console for the money, discussion over.
