If you’re an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S owner, the only way you can play next-gen games right now is via those consoles’ internal storage, or via a special Seagate 1TB Expansion Card which admittedly is very costly.
However, UK retailer Currys PC World has now dropped the price to its lowest figure yet, going from £219.99 at launch, to £179.99 as of today. We’re not sure how long this deal will last, but hopefully it’ll stick around for a little while.

The reason the Seagate 1TB Expansion Card is so expensive is because it’s custom built to run at exactly the same high speeds as the internal storage on the new consoles, meaning games load much faster than on last-gen systems, and transferring data between the internal storage and the Expansion Card is seriously rapid.
You can, of course, just store next-gen games on any old USB hard drive until you’re ready to play them, and Xbox One, Xbox 360 and original Xbox games work just fine on generic external hard drives, so you don’t need one of these right away. But if you’ve had one on your wishlist for a while, this is definitely the best deal we’ve seen so far.
