Xbox One: external storage won’t be supported at launch

4.6
Xbox One will not allow you to add external storage for games or media installs at launch, Microsoft has confirmed.

The news comes from the latest Major Nelson podcast. Answering a fan question at PAX about the feature, he said: “The future plan is for definitely to support external storage much like we do on the Xbox 360.

“My understanding is that feature will not be there at launch because the team is working on some other things, but it definitely is on the list. I don’t know when it will come in though.”

Xbox One will ship with a 500Gb internal hard drive, and it was confirmed back in May that users can’t replace the internal drive.

Sony has said it will allow users to change their internal PS4 hard drives come launch.

Haha, I had that problem for my PS3, it's such a hard choice of what to delete.

I recommend deleting a game you finished/got bored off.

I wonder how long this future plans this is out. Is it going to be a month after launch or will it be 6 months after launch. I am sure we don't need this feature at launch. If we can't have more then 500GB storage at start then they shouldn't make us install all our games until they allow external storage.
