Xbox Launches New 1TB Series S Console for $50 More Than Original Model

New Xbox Series S 1TB has double the storage (1TB) of original Series S for $50 more ($350).
Only difference between new 1TB and original Series S is storage space and color (matte black vs white).
Good for buyers who want more storage without deleting games, don't need 4K, and don't want to spend $500 on Series X.
Xbox Cloud Gaming allows streaming games without using console storage, but has had long wait times.
Original 512GB Series S still a good budget option, especially with cheap expandable storage cards now available.
