The Xbox One could soon be seeing external storage support according to a recent comment on
Reddit by Microsoft's Xbox frontman Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb.
No timeframe was sadly given, however Nelson did state that the feature is on its way. “External game storage is coming soon. I need to check on media support,” he said.
Further in the thread, Hryb said that he had no news on regional voice support, but did hint at plenty of updates to come. “Lots of good work going on to make the console even better – some you’ll see soon, some will show up later. But: it is all good stuff."

As a bystander to the 'new gen' consoles, I can only say it's been good to see the approach to media releases that MS has had (at and post launch) for the XBOne.
Some of the little stuff still seems to be nagging at the XBOne, I'm still disappointed that the PC drivers for the XBOne's controllers isn't 'in the wild' as yet; however I AM over the moon to know that it's something that they're working on!
There's so much potential for both parties (Talking MS and Sony here), but as there's very little content of interest (that I can't already get on PC) on either and then paying for XBL/PSN+ subscriptions just doesn't make any sense to me; I'll continue to sit on the fence for now.

So im left to the following conclusions; a) hyperbole is overused, often to the detriment of the argument, b) I shouldnt argue with every idiot on the internet. but, c) Consoles get a bad rap by every activist with a keyboard and i consider that bulls***.

It's well deserved here. External storage should have been supported at launch. It's not a new concept they couldn't have anticipated. Microsoft supported it on the Xbox 360 (in a dumb and limited fashion). Even Nintendo (who you would expect to drag their feet on something like this), had external storage support at launch for the Wii U.
Not zero drivers, just standard HID drivers which are included with your OS. You miss out on proper XInput support because of this.

External HDD support to come was announced at console launch. It's news, but its 6 month old news.

No thanks, I'll wait for the MS drivers for windows.
(The levels of integration these drivers have in MS products is where the 'feature' is; that is to say, not just 'oh hey, I press 'a' and after the rigmarole(sp?) I've been through, the character jumps')

You are a mutant the drivers work fine.
Whoop I'm pretty into PC gaming and yet I have had most consoles. Theres a time and a place and if that doesn't suit you then.?

It plays games, so I'm happy. Like Jeffro, I got tonnes of space still on the hard drive in my XBone and by the time I need more, external hard drive support will be there, sounds all good to me.
I'd rather have it sooner and have these sorts of things added as needed than have to wait another 6 months, especially when they're things that are entirely un-necessary to have at launch. I was more annoyed at its lack of a good media player, that seemed like a big step backwards from XBox 360. It doesn't really affect me personally since I've got a bazillion things plugged into my tv (or even built into the tv itself) that can play and stream media, but for someone who buys the XBone as their total media solution (especially considering thats kinda what MS was pushing it as in their 'Tv Tv Tv' demonstration when they revealed it), I'd be a bit miffed.
