Microsoft had recently confirmed that its new consoles, the Xbox Series X and Series S will support storage expansion. This makes it ideal for gamers who play a lot of games and who tend to keep their games around, instead of deleting them when they’re done. However, there is some bad news on that front.

This is because according to the folks at Kotaku Australia, they have spotted a listing for a Seagate Xbox Series X expansion card in which it was priced at a whopping AUD$359 (which is roughly $250 after conversion). Assuming that this price is accurate, it means that the cost of purchasing 1TB of expansion storage will cost you nearly as much as a brand new Xbox Series S console!

This is pretty expensive as far as memory expansion is concerned, but it should be noted that this isn’t a regular external hard drive. It has been created and optimized to take advantage of the Xbox’s Velocity architecture, meaning that gamers will be able to achieve the same speeds as they would the internal storage of their consoles.

This is obviously very important as read/write speeds of a drive can affect aspects of the game, so if you are planning to eventually get your hands on expansion storage for your Xbox Series X or Series S, keep in mind that these are the potential prices you might have to pay.

Expanding Your Xbox Series X Storage Could Be An Expensive Affair

When it comes to PCs, power is most often associated with size. After all, you can’t really escape the laws of physics so the more power you need, the more and bigger components you need. That said, you might not actually really need all that power and some desktops try to make a compromise in size, performance, and price. The … Continue reading

Democrats are strategizing how best to use what little tools they have in hopes of thwarting a conservative takeover.

A lot of car makers have set themselves deadlines in which they eventually plan to make the shift to fully-electric vehicles. However, for those who might be holding out, they might have some trouble over in California because the state’s governor, Gavin Newsom, has announced that he will be signing an executive order that will ban the sale of new gas-powered cars starting in 2035.

This doesn’t mean that gas-powered cars are going to be made illegal, but rather new cars that feature an internal combustion engine will no longer be allowed to be sold. Existing cars can still be used, but you can’t buy a new one. This move was done to help combat the negative impacts of climate change.

According to the press release, “California Air Resources Board will develop regulations to mandate that 100 percent of in-state sales of new passenger cars and trucks are zero-emission by 2035, a target which would achieve more than a 35 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and an 80 percent improvement in oxides of nitrogen emissions from cars statewide.”

California has experienced several incredibly destructive wildfires, which some scientists have linked to the consequences of climate change. There is still quite some time before 2035, so it should give car makers more time to start ramping up their efforts at creating more environmentally-friendly vehicles.
