Xbox One and 360 get dedicated 2TB hard drives

MCV Staff 5th August 2015 Business News

Microsoft has teamed up with Seagate to offer a hard drive specifically designed for either the Xbox One or Xbox 360.

The drive offers 2TB of additional storage and is coloured in brand-appropriate Xbox green. It also carries the Xbox logo. The US price is just $110, with availability kicking off later this month.

It can connect to either console via USB 3.0. When coupled with the more recent versions of Xbox One, that gives gamers a really quite sizable 3GB to play with.

PS4 only offers limited support for external hard drives, allowing for the copying and storing of data but not for the installation of games. Users can, however, manually install a larger internal hard drive.

Xbox One owners are already able to hook up third party hard drives to their machines, the majority of which are supported for all functions.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
