If you were lucky enough to snag a new Xbox during the holiday season, you’re probably finding yourself needing to make some room for fresh games as the new year approaches. But there’s good news! If expanding your console’s storage is on your mind, the WD_Black C50 expansion card is now more affordable than ever. The 1TB version is currently marked down to $109.99 on Amazon, from its usual price of $157.99. And if you need even more space, the 2TB version is also discounted, available for just $189.99 instead of $259.99. The C50 offers a great performance boost and is a cost-effective alternative to the Seagate first-party expansion card.
The Xbox Series X packs quite a punch, but its standard 1TB SSD can quickly get overwhelmed by the storage demands of modern AAA games. Take Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Diablo 4, for instance. Both of these titles, which you can grab via Xbox Game Pass, can gobble up nearly a quarter of your storage in one fell swoop.
Did your console come without an extra controller? Don’t worry if you’re eager to dive into some split-screen action as the new year countdown begins. Walmart has deals where you can score up to $25 off on select Xbox Wireless Controllers. The discount depends on the color you choose. For instance, the classic black controller is selling for $49.99, down from $59.99. If you’re a fan of colors, the red, white, and blue camo designs are available for just $45, a significant drop from the original $64.
