The 2TB Seagate expansion card for Xbox is back to its lowest price ever.
Who needs to wait for Black Friday, after all?
Black Friday is approaching, and promotions are beginning to emerge in various stores like Amazon and Best Buy. Significant discounts on video game products are anticipated with the start of several early sales next week. However, for those looking to buy earlier, the 2 TB Seagate storage expansion card for Xbox Series X / S consoles is currently at its lowest price ever, $199.99, representing a savings of $160, available at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Seagate online store.
Although its price is high, Seagate's proprietary expansion cards are an excellent option for increasing the storage capacity of Xbox consoles. These cards, which are NVMe type and licensed by Microsoft, are very easy to install, fast, and allow games to run as if they were on the console's internal memory. This means they support Microsoft's Quick Resume feature and eliminate the need to rearrange downloads, which would be required if opting for an external USB hard drive, which is limited to backward-compatible games.
On the other hand, Sony's approach to expanded storage, which allows PlayStation 5 owners to upgrade their console using any compatible M.2 SSD, is more accessible. Despite this, the price of the Seagate option has been decreasing since the introduction of Western Digital's WD_Black C50. Currently, Seagate's 2 TB model is much more affordable compared to its initial price of $399.99, suggesting that this reduction could indicate more significant future discounts.
In terms of other notable deals, Google’s Pixel Buds Pro 2 are available at a historic price of $179, with a $50 discount at Amazon, Best Buy, and Wellbots. Additionally, Wellbots is offering an extra $10 off when using the discount code VERGEBF60 at checkout. These earbuds are a considerable upgrade over their previous model, especially when used with a Pixel phone.
Nomad has also launched a pre-Black Friday sale, running until today, November 9, allowing for a 20% discount on various accessories when using the coupon code EARLY20. Some of the deals include a $12 discount on the Traditional Leather Case for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, as well as varying discounts on bands for Apple Watch and the Nomad Stand One.
Finally, while the Fitbit Charge 6 is a standout option for fitness tracking, the Google Pixel Watch 3 is considered by many to be the best choice in its category. However, the Charge 6 has seen a price drop to $99.95, with a $100 discount at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. This device features a color OLED display and a good range of fitness tracking tools, as well as EKG, EDA, and SpO2 sensors.
