Thankfully, the 1TB card has seen a price drop, and the arrival of the WD_Black C50 offers an extra terabyte of solid-state storage for around $150 / £150. But the hope lingers for a deal that could bring the prices of Xbox Series X expansion cards down to match those of the PS5.
For those considering striking early deals, there are current discounts to explore. Keep an eye on Amazon, as it’s historically been a prime source for SSD discounts during sales events. The Microsoft Store and UK retailers like Currys and Very are worth monitoring as well.
