I feel like it's a bad idea to cancel the 2TB mode.

Dang I didn't like AI to begin with but I'm starting to dislike it more and more every day. :S I know all the game consoles are going to go up in price later this year but it's sad to see. Honestly though I'm glad I have a Series S, even though I did want to upgrade to a Series X. (I really want the Series X25 when it drops since it looks so dang cool.)

I feel discontinueing the 2TB version of the Series X is unfortunate for people who plan to buy a lot of games. Xbox game files can take up a lot of storage space. 2TB would be needed for installing many tripple A games without having to use external USB drives which can be a hassle and costly.

yeah that's wild — they're citing storage costs while discontinuing the 2TB model
