You are playing fast and loose with the words there. “Nearly” the same loading times with a £30 HDD? Not quite hehe.
Also you are not adding a lot of space there, an extra 250 GB is not that great (not to mention you will likely enjoy extra pop-in in games making heavy use of data streaming as that will hit the seek times of the el-cheapo drive you got there hard).
Since we are talking about BC games, we are also only going to play with Xbox One S profiles instead of downsampled Xbox One X games due to the low XSS RAM compared to XOX. So, if you want the better textures, better effects and draw distance, etc... of the Xbox One X patched games you need the XSX anyw...
people tend to forget that next gen releases cost $70 per game so ps5 de with couple of games is much more expensive than xbseries s with gamepass (even if you add external hdd price to it)
And no one buys it. It's available everywhere so people don't care about Game Pass that much.
from what I can see on euro gamer tracker it is sold out in most places in markets like USA or the uk
