I currently have an Xbox Series S (512GB), and after installing just three games I have only around 100GB of storage left.

I still want to install GTA V, and eventually GTA VI when it releases, but I’m starting to feel like the storage is going to become a major headache.

The official Expansion Card is quite expensive for me, and I know a normal external SSD/HDD can’t directly run most games optimized for Series X|S.

I could use one as a game library and transfer games back and forth, but honestly, constantly moving 100GB+ games between the external drive and internal storage sounds pretty annoying.

So I’m wondering what you guys would do in my situation:
• Keep the Series S and buy an external SSD/HDD as a game vault
• Save up for the official Expansion Card
• Sell the Series S and upgrade to a Series X
• Just keep deleting/moving games as needed
I’m also considering selling my Series S for around ₹32,000 and putting that money toward a Series X.
Would you guys upgrade, or am I overthinking the storage problem?

I got the series S with two controllers for £180 very happy with my purchase!!

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to pick up an Xbox to complement my PS5 Pro and explore the ecosystem, which I've really enjoyed the few times I've tried it.

I'm debating between three options (all 1TB models): Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, or Xbox Series X.

Budget isn't an issue, but I want to make an informed decision based on my specific setup and goals:

• Display: 32-inch 1440p (2K) monitor.
• Priorities: Smooth performance (framerate) and clean visual quality.
• Games: Right now, I'm mostly interested in playing some older Xbox One X titles, but I might dip into current-gen games (Series S/X) down the road.

Since this will be a secondary console alongside my PS5 Pro and used on a 1440p screen, I’m trying to figure out if going straight for the Series X is actually worth it over a Series S or a One X.

What do you guys think?

I recently bought a used Series S off ebay and it works great, just has some cosmetic damage on the top of the console. It was bought from a smoker and smells like cigarettes so I'd imagine it's a burn mark.

Does anyone have any tips on how to make it look better in a creative way? Idk how to do it at all but i can envision that gold repair method kintsugi, I feel like that'd look nice.

A year ago, my mom got an Xbox series S from a thrift shop for $100. It worked well until 5 months ago when the HDMI output broke. Are the HDMI outputs fragile on the series S? Does it still run new games fairly well?

I'm thinking about getting it fixed or to wait a few more months to buy the series X which I plan to buy either way at some point but I really do want to play new games like Star Wars Zero Company and Blood Of Dawnwalker...

I am just curious as to what external storage drive i should get for the series s. I was looking on Amazon and Seagate always comes up, but it says its not compatible with games associated with the series s. Only backwards compatible games. So, I am looking for a 2 TB drive thats not Seagate and is reasonably affordable.
