Launch Model Xbox One owners are stuck with the launch hard drive.
Basically, we get to eat shit and like it. I'd like to think it doesn't matter too much, but it's still reassuring to know that our early adoption was rewarded with a pecker-slap to the face. We are never going to get this improved storage without buying an entirely new console.
External hard drives are a band-aid at best. They're a solution in the short term, but what are you going to do 8 years down the line when your internal hard drive will statistically fail? If the xbox one is still supported then you can spend money on service, but that's only delaying the issue. At some point, support is going to be dropped and your console is going to be worthless because the xbone OS is not available to the public. It's the same problem I have with the Wii U and its flash memory, though that should be working for longer than a hard drive will.
Thoughts?

As an early adopter I knew this was a very real possibility. Very console since at least PS2 has eventually upgraded to a better, faster, Sleeker model. The trade off is I had all these great experiences as they happened like Titanfall at launch and all the cool updates. That's the trade off. Plus external hard drive support works fine. There are 3 sub ports on the X1 so you could have up to 15TB of memory. Also for me I'll probably get the Gears special bundle next year and give my kids my older one.
