With the price of the Xbox Series X and Series S now confirmed, there's one more price that needs to be revealed: Seagate's storage expansion cards for the consoles. Now it seems the price has leaked, but hopefully it's wrong.
As TheGamer reports, Twitter user @IdleSloth84 posted a photo of what looks to be a listing on GameStop for the 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card. One of these cards can slot into the back of a Series X or a Series S console to offer considerably more fast storage for your ever-growing library of games. However, the listing includes a price and it's verging on the ridiculous.

As you can see, the listing reveals a $219.99 price point for a 1TB card, which is very close to the price of actually purchasing the Series S console. We expected the cards to be expensive, but not this expensive. It does, however, reveal part of the reason why Microsoft can price the Series S $200 lower than the Series X as it's making around $100 saving from only including half the storage.
This could turn out to be just a placeholder price, but if it isn't, I doubt Seagate will be selling many of them. A 512GB card at half the price will be easier to stomach, but still a lot of money to pay out just for a bit more storage.
