Deal Review - Seagate STEA2000403 Gaming Drive

Deal Review: Seagate STEA2000403 2TB External Gaming Hard Drive – Designed for Xbox One

Let’s be honest, as games continue to grow in size, scope and graphics, they are becoming significantly larger to the point of outstripping the default storage space most consoles come with these days. While we are about to hit a new generation of consoles that will undoubtedly have more default storage space, it pays to remember that on average, a single video game is around 60GB. Regardless of how much default storage space the next generation of consoles has, it probably won’t be enough for all the games we want to play.

Pre-ordering the PS5
Despite alluding to it so many times, Sony only revealed the PlayStation 5 to the world for the very first time last month.

Either way, it’s been a while since the notorious director has put a movie out, and whether you are expecting it or dreading it, that movie isn’t all that far off now. A bit more information about it has come to light, though it’s admittedly not that much.
