Well, I was thinking of going for the 1TB rather than 500GB.... Trying to decide if I really need that much storage

Chances are you will

These games get heavy even if you buy them physical.

And you do plan to use gamepass.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking! I think the small one should be fine, though....

@BruceCM You'll run out of space either way, it's all about the external hard drive you choose.

Cool, @BlueOcean ... There's a nice blue XBox (Forza or something), only I think it's original model,

Yes, the original model also got different editions... Oh, in case anyone is interested, you can even design your own Xbox One controller if you want.

@BlueOcean it's apparently the battlefield 1 special edition. It's dark green. Although it looks gray in some pictures.
Edit: it apparently comes in both colors?

I had not idea about that Xbox One S edition. It's true but the weird thing is that this box doesn't even say "Xbox One S", wtf...

Elite 2 has the right idea, follow Nintendo and Sony's idea to have internal battery wireless controllers (PS4 dualshock, Wii U Gamepad, Wii U Pro controller, Switch Pro controller, Switch Joy-Con). Now if only Microsoft applies that to normal Scarlett controllers.

Is it "the right idea" though? I'd rather have removeable batteries. An internal battery usually means that when the battery dies, the controller dies, and this is a high-quality and expensive controller. EDIT: AND you can always get a rechargeable battery pack, and put it inside. You can't tell that it's in there.

Oh, actually, I now find there's both a Forza blue original Xbox & a One S, @BlueOcean .... Only the 500GB One S, though? Or the red Gears 2 TB One S, for £200 ....

I'm looking at pre-owned ones, @Morpheel .... Trying to work out if the 2TB size is worth it

You'll probably find them at the similar prices to preowned ones by black friday.

Maybe the preowned ones/old bundles could go lower by then as well.

@BruceCM Copy the link so we can see them. I haven't seen the red Xbox One S before.

@Morpheel It's weird that "Xbox One S" is not printed on the box. I mean, it's not an Xbox One... I see the black one and the first thing I'd think is that it's the Xbox One X. Confusing...

They released Xbox One S in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB but the 2TB model was uncommon and if I remember correctly was the only one that included the vertical stand.

@BruceCM "Normal" games are around 30GB. Bigger games are around 50GB and huge games like Halo 5 are almost 100GB.

@BruceCM I have 46 games installed (game pass and rare replay bumped that bumber by quite a bit). My internal hard drive (1tb) is currently at 76%.

The biggest offenders contributing to that number I belive are Dragon Age Inquisition and Final Fantasy 15.

So, I found a new purple XBox One S at Game for £200, obviously without the bundle, @Morpheel, @BlueOcean .... Or there's a boxed version of the above red one for 30 more?

@BruceCM I just checked and the Xbox One S 2TB models launched for 400 euros (without game). Actually, Game still sells the red Xbox One S for 400 pounds today as you can see:

https://www.game.co.uk/en/2tb-xbox-one-s-gears-of-war-4-limit...

If you can get the Gears of War edition in good condition for £200 (without box) or £230 (with box) I'd go for any of them. Perhaps the one with the box is in better condition and includes everything (vertical stand, cables). At the end of the day it's a limited edition 2TB model (and any 2TB model is hard to find, even new), it's gorgeous and you might not need an external HDD until you upgrade to Scarlett someday in the future.

Either sounds nice, just make sure it’s in good condition.

The content included with the fortnite is kinda optional since it’s just fortnite dlc, but I guess you could sell the dlc codes for a profit if you ended up getting the bundle new at some point.

Yeah, on CEX, @BlueOcean, unboxed means more than just having a generic cardboard box
Have to see when I actually have the money but I'd probably go for that red Gears 1....
