5 Star Review from “Fasty”Fasty 02/14/2020

Fun and enthusiastic : Captures the feel of actual fans who are excited about Xbox, which has been hard to find for this last generation. Ryan has an infectious bubbly enthusiasm that just makes this a pretty happy 45 minutes each week. Not where you’ll get the biggest deepest news, but like chatting up Xbox for the week with friends. Plus the intro music makes me dance. 😉

The Xbox Series X will support proprietary external storage in the form of Xbox Storage Expansion Cards which are memory card like expandable drives made by Seagate. You can also use USB 3.0 external hard drives for extra storage, however, you can only run Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One games off these drives (Series X games can be run, just using their Xbox One versions).
