That was one question on this week's DF Direct Weekly episode, and one that I'd like to tackle in more depth given that I've spent the last two years charting price changes and sharing deals on PS5 SSDs and Xbox Expansion cards alike.
To sum up the current situation, the PS5 can use regular off-the-shelf PC PCIe 4.0 SSDs for its storage expansion, while the Xbox uses proprietary cards made by Seagate and WD which cost far more for a given size.
Why are Xbox Series X/S expansion drives so much more expensive than PS5 equivalents - and should Microsoft put pressure on its suppliers to drive prices down?
